You call yourself a Liberal?

Why yes, I do. The dictionary defines liberal as:
"Not limited to or by established, traditional, orthodox, or authoritarian attitudes, views, or dogmas; free from bigotry.

Favoring proposals for reform, open to new ideas for progress, and tolerant of the ideas and behavior of others; broad-minded."

Sounds good to me. Tolerance is a good thing. Bigotry is not.

I'll be the first one to admit that when it comes to politics, I'm pretty ignorant. I like it that way. The more attention I pay to the current dysfunction in our country, the angrier I get.

I've got my eyes scrunched shut for now - perhaps I'll peek out again in two and a half years.

yes. it's sort of like holding your breath watching a toddler fall and knowing there isn't anything you can do to prevent it. we can handle anything for 2.5 years.
