I know, I know, fifty years of hate radio and conservative fear mongering have got half the population convinced that "liberals" are devils incarnate.

The same Satanic minions that gave us Social Security, Medicaid and Medicare, The GI Bill of Rights, the minimum wage, etc. etc.

I wish we could do more to detoxify the term.
