Liberalism is the ( often challenging ) philosophy that there is more Good than Bad in Human Nature.
I believe in a Viable Liberalism in which there are few primary goals. These include:
- Re-vitalizing Labor Unions
- Re-abolishing the Death Penalty
- Keeping choice legal
- Furthering the One Laptop Per Child program, and expanding it to American kids
- Supporting nationalized Health Care
- Supporting affordable housing
Viable Liberalism avoids supporting ‘boutique’ political causes that have little value in furthering the larger progressive ideology. These include, but are not limited to:
- Taking ‘under God’ out of the Pledge of Allegiance
- Removing ‘In God We Trust’ from the money supply
- Gay Marriage
- Banning smoking in apartments
