Oh Santa, you are definately for it! It's a great tool to distribute wealth to pooror nations and as a newby liberal, you should realize that anything that will help distribute wealth, you are for! And even though 99.9874% of actual scientists said that by now we would be beyond the tipping point, don't let that bother you one bit, k?

You must publicly endorce gay marriage, and abortion but also condone adoption by same sex parents. These are just a few of the more well known point getters, there are many more but I cannot list them all. Also if you demonstrate at any of the "occupy thingys" you also get points. At these gatherings just ask the people participating and they will guide you toward your goal of becoming a real honest to goodness liberal. Not sure how many points one needs for one of these manuals but in the meantime if Bush or Regan were for it you are aganist it. That should work until you get the manual. I am not sure if you are allowed to have a job but if you do, you have to despise your employer for making a profit. 
Hope this helps.

IMHO the pertinent questions are:
if the climate is changing - what is possible to do given what we know now? what does that mean for us here, and what about the other 9/10 people in the world? what would it take for those other 9/10 people in the world to go along with whatever the plan is? The politics of environmental scare were pretty much* covered by the Crichton book a while ago. What's new? * he may have left out the "end of the world as planned" agenda and those who would see it happen rather than avoided - and so interfere with implementation of plans.

Or you can ignore the uninformed sarcasm and just go by the standard definition:
Quote:
Social liberalism is the belief that liberalism should include social justice. It differs from classical liberalism in that it believes the legitimate role of the state includes addressing economic and social issues such as unemployment, health care, and education while simultaneously expanding civil rights. Under social liberalism, the good of the community is viewed as harmonious with the freedom of the individual. Social liberal policies have been widely adopted in much of the capitalist world, particularly following World War II. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Social_liberalism Conservatives are those who don't believe in such things. You have to decide for yourself what you are. |

Underneath the hobby horses and grandstanding are some real issues.
Then again, who wants to address real issues when they can argue about what's "right" on the internet? You'll find my modest proposal of a plan posted on the Café a few years ago. What do you have that's better?

Your own substitution of "social liberal" for "liberal" (complete with a definition that distinguishes it from "classical liberal," which is self-evidently also a form of liberalism) was much more subtle.

I didn't intend to be subtle by defining social versus classical liberalism. I was merely using a definition of the type of liberalism that is commonly referred to in normal discussion. Yes, I agree that the word "addressed" in the definition I provided does go to the heart of the distinction, insofar as the manner in which these things are addressed really defines the difference in liberal and conservative ideas. |

So where will the US taxpayers etc go now to get back the billions and trillions of their tax dollars stolen for the imaginary man made 'global warming” false alarm?
If there is a single truth about Magic, it is that nothing on earth so efficiently evades it.
