104. "We are not liberal" Excuse me, whsat is your definition of liberal? Don't you care about economics?
Edited on Wed May-07-08 03:23 PM by Leopolds Ghost
I thought WVa was a pro-Union state. VIOLENTLY pro-Union. Anti-NAFTA and hostile to coal bosses who are currently raping the state. Further, the CHHRISTIAN Evangelical church (possibly not including Baptists with their wierd Calvinist ideas) has a long and proud tradition of siding with the poor (if they are native-born from Appalachia) against the rich. Blacks, eastern europeans and catholics were viewed as scabs (hence the racial hostility and paranoid church-based "anti-communism" that broke the back of the Union movement in WV.) That is a populist, liberal position. WTF else matters?
