4.You get much of your news from Rachel Maddow, Bill Maher and/or Jon Stewart.
5.You’re in favor of tax increases to support the common good even if you have to pay more yourself
This, of course, is an ironic look at how Republicans see Liberals. www.peoplescube.com
6.You recognize that marijuana is physically less harmful than either cigarettes or alcohol.
7.You understand Citizens United is about 5 conservative justices who are united against citizens and who favor the corporate control of elections.

10.You have an “Obama ‘08” or “Obama 2012” logo riding on your bumper.
11.You are a fan of a dozen or more liberal pages on Facebook.
12.At some point, you wore dreads or went barefoot in public – or you know a few people who fit this description.
13.You read food labels.
14.You have gay friends and you respect them.
15.You probably graduated from college and your degree probably isn’t in marketing or business administration.

17.You support the middle class.
18.You don’t think NPR is biased.
19.You think the Koch brothers are evil.
20.You’ve been following the dogged and brave uprising in Wisconsin.
21.You prefer to breathe non-cancer-causing air and drink non-toxic water.
22.You value a good standard of living for the public over corporate profits.
23.You believe people should be able to choose, in private, the family planning option that’s right for them.
24.You use hash tags like #p2, #p21, #topprog, and #taxtherich on Twitter.
25.You are serious about recycling.
26.You actually care that the ice caps are melting, coral reefs are dying and bio-diversity is diminishing.
27.You can find Iraq on a map while realizing that Iraq had nothing to do with 9/11.
28.You’ve been called a hippie, a bleeding heart or a tree hugger.
29.You believe education and health care should be subsidized for the common good.
30.GOP voter suppression is ticking you off enough to mobilize the vote within your circles.
31.You’ve given to a homeless person – ever.
32.You cringe when you hear Obama referred to as a “one-term president.”
33.You have gotten into a heated online debate with a Republican troll and even though you didn’t change their mind it still felt good to defeat their logic.
This is a work in progress! Add your own “You know you’re a liberal if” line below and we may include it in the sequel!

AHA HA HA ha ha ha You think I care about what folks say about what I post? Thats funny. What I don't like and was bitching about is the HighJacking of the thread for petty bickering. Those that bring off topic B.S. Bagage as one could call it from another site. Then cause a ripple effect here that ruins it for those that want to debate the subject at hand. that my friend is what gets my goat. but hey thanks for commenting and have a great night. :) Y'all come back now Ya Hear :)

United States
Main article: Progressivism in the United States
Theodore Roosevelt (1858-1919) was a leader in the Progressive Era.
In the United States there have been several periods where progressive political parties have developed. The first of these was around the turn of the 19th to 20th century.[7] This period notably included the emergence of the Progressive Party, founded in 1912 by President Theodore Roosevelt. This progressive party was the most successful third party in modern American history. The Progressive Party founded in 1924 and the Progressive Party founded in 1948 were less successful than the 1912 version. There are also two notable state progressive parties: the Wisconsin Progressive Party and the Vermont Progressive Party. The latter is still in operation and currently has several high ranking positions in state government.[citation needed]
Today, members of the Democratic Party or the Green Party of the United States are most likely to self-identify as progressives. In the US Congress there exists the Congressional Progressive Caucus, which is often in opposition to the more conservative Democrats, who form the Blue Dogs caucus. Some of the more notable progressive members of Congress have included Ted Kennedy, Russ Feingold,[8] Dennis Kucinich, Barney Frank, Bernie Sanders, Al Franken, John Conyers, John Lewis, and Paul Wellstone - 1 year ago

On a daily basis, you will get a briefing on how Left-wingers are deceiving, distorting and manipulating data, and various propaganda they are using to promote their agenda:

Yes. I also subscribe to Media Matters and had a paper subscription to Nation magazine, a far-Leftist magazine that is probably #1 among the "academics" of the Left. I am truly horrified at how the Left thinks about the free market and America, especially as written in magazines like Nation.
