Most liberals make the same (stupid) claim. They are wrong. Christ wanted us to be charitable to one another, not have charity forced upon us. Because, in helping someone else, one becomes a better person.

Funny, you don't fit your own definition of a Liberal:

8. open-minded or tolerant, esp. free of or not bound by traditional or conventional ideas, values, etc.

Open minded includes "evidence", "facts" and "data". You should always be "open minded". But the right comes up with "magical creation", "200 million dollar a day trips", "death panels" and more craziness. Not being open minded to "delusion" doesn't mean you aren't open minded. It just means you have standards.

Happily, not all 'liberals' are as stupid as you.... this is the 'humor' section. If you have no sense of humor - apparently this fundamental human emotion is removed from the borg -then stay the fuck out of the humor forum. Because, right now, you're making yourself into the board joke.

 

[editec]

I liked that joke, BTW.

But in answer to the question: Who was the first liberal?

Probably the first LIBERAL well known to WESTERN CIVILIZATION was Pathagoras.

You can read about Pythagoreanism here:

That's not funny. Although.... that you feel so desperate to "prove" your intellect that you answer a question that was asked -and answered - in jest does make me laugh.

Oh, sweetie, I don't need to prove my intellect.

Just like you don't have to prove your lack of it.

Neither of us can help but being what GOD made us.

Pythagoras probably was the first notable liberal in Western civilization.

Some people, I thought, might find that interesting and informative.

It is to them I post, sweetheart, not to people like you.

I'm sorry if my posts make you feel stupid, but know that is never my intention.

Why would I bother doing something for you that you do so well all by yourself?
