Why is “Liberal” such a bad word?

August 8, 2011

I don’t get what’s going on in American politics anymore (and apologies in advance for the rant, they seem to be going around recently. I don’t get the rise of the Tea Party.  I don’t understand why it’s so “weak” to be a liberal.  I don’t get that a fair number of my fellow Americans [...]
