I've always considered myself liberal for most of my life. I never thought that video game violence causes kids to kill or violent wrap songs were necessarily dangerous for young people. I've agreed with many liberals who fought against the conservative mom and pop groups who wanted to censor the internet to protect children from porn. I thought that it would destroy the internet in the early 90s and, quit frankly, it may limit the choices adults could make in the process.
I've notice that in the last 15 years that what is considered liberal has changed quite a lot. I don't know if anyone else has noticed this either. Most of the democratic debate was more about how to get freebies from the government. It just seems that where today's liberals decide to put their energy is in a different direction than what they did 25 years ago. I remember Dukakis in 1988 and agreed with some of the things he said. I didn't agree with the taxes he wanted to raise but I like the liberal sounding person where Bush Sr. wanted to focus on family values. I hate to tell everyone this but if families are free to choose what they are to be like then there is no need for the politicians to push this.
It is just something I've noticed in my lifetime that things have 'changed' and not for the better for the supposedly 'liberal' party.
