you must not have read my earlier post on the definition of "freedom". Read it. I think it answers your question.
apathetic?!! ME?!!!! Are you serious?!
Webster's:
Apathy (Ap"a*thy) - 1. an absence of emotion or enthusiasm 2. the trait of lacking enthusiasm for or interest in things generally
Have you read my posts on religeous/political topics?!!!
As for P.C. infringing on the 1st admendment, here are a few off the cuff examples:
If I want to refer to my black friend as, "my black friend" then let me. African-American is ONE example of the P.C. agenda branding those of us Anglo-Americans as bigots for refusing to use that derogatory term. Just because someone's skin is dark does NOT mean they're African. Sheesh
If I want to remain intolerant of religions that preach killing infidels is the way to Heaven, instead of painting me with an intolerant brush, let me. That's the one group of people that no Liberal will tolerate, the intolerant.
If I disagree with your views on morality, politics, religeon, or the Red Sox, it doesn't mean that I'm ignorant. Because I am from the South, the Bible Belt, Jesus Land or a red state, it doesn't mean that I am not as well educated as you are or that my opinion has less value than yours.
If I happen to have political views that are more conservative, okay, MUCH more conservative than you, I'm not automatically a neo-con. What I am is someone to make you defend the way you view the world you live in, someone to make you think about the ideas you espouse and the ideals you hold dear. It is not my goal that you become a conservative before your time but that you know why you are a liberal now.
I am guilty of pigeon-holeing liberals into the same box. most of you self-effacing liberals fit into that box well but it is still something that I am working on.
