are beliefs in the EQUALITY and the RIGHTS of all INDIVIDUALS. Belief in individualism and equality arose from the Enlightenment and Age of Reason, and with it liberalism and all that it gave birth to, including government of, by and for the people.

Psychological researchers have discovered that attitude toward equality of all is also the single biggest difference between the two big personality groups -- liberal and conservative. We see that, of course.

This is one of the best sets of cartoons yet. The one with the big, red dragon sums up that situation perfectly.

Ann Telanes is a national treasure. I knew I saw that photo somewhere...

If by a "Liberal" they mean someone who looks ahead and not behind, someone who welcomes new ideas without rigid reactions, someone who cares about the welfare of the people-their health, their housing, their schools, their jobs, their civil rights and their civil liberties-someone who believes we can break through the stalemate and suspicions that grip us in our policies abroad, if that is what they mean by a "Liberal," then I'm proud to say I'm a "Liberal.” ― John F. Kennedy, Profiles in Courage

Thanks for the toons and all the rest you DU, JHB!

And I would expect the Kansas vote to launch a thousand memes, perhaps even with Glinda saying, "You have no power here! Now begone, before somebody drops a house on you!"

At his Bedminster golf course during that Saudi tournament, I think. It's very recent, from the last few days.
