Fox News Executive Vice President implores Republicans to back off Russia by saying, “Enough, COMRADES.”  Enough said.

I’m proud to be a liberal.  I’m especially complimented when someone derisively calls me a “lib,” because it indicates acknowledgement that I care more about other people than they do.  So here’s a few statements of what I’m proud to believe – no research on my part today, just thoughts from my heart:

·        I believe that decent, dignified and respectful treatment of people should never be based on their skin color, national origin, religion, gender, or sexual preference.

·        I believe that anyone’s religion (or lack thereof) is a private matter and should never be the basis of national policy.

·        I believe that people who have been privileged in life (such as myself) have a moral obligation to help those less fortunate.

·        I believe that public education is the backbone of this country.

·        I believe that immigrants have always made huge contributions to the progress of America.

·        I believe that life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness includes the ability to receive healthcare.

·        I believe in the patriotism of dissent.

·        I believe that the balance of power in the United States government is of utmost importance.

·        I believe that no one is above the law.

·        I believe that our elected officials serve us and not vice versa.

·        I believe that urging violence to solve problems is abhorrent.

·        I believe that our government should not be run by politicians bought by billionaires.

·        I believe that bullies have no place in in the schoolyard, in society or in the government.

·        I believe that the earth is ours to care for and not to destroy.

·        I believe that a woman should have control over her own body.

·        I believe that governing should never be by Twitter, by humiliation or by insult.

·        I believe that excusing sexual predation as “locker room” talk is never acceptable.

·        I believe in the absolute freedom of the press.

·        I believe that political self-aggrandizement is evil.

·        I believe that enemy governments should not be influencing our political processes.

·        Finally, I believe that the leader of the free world should be sane.
