Reply #116: Maybe "common decency" isn't considered a "liberal" value? [View All]

I've been here at DU for almost 4 years. I post only sporadically anymore, it gets so disheartening around here sometimes. I see so much of what "we" excoriate the right wing about, reflected here in almost perfect mirror image.

My parents (bless them!) -- children of the Depression, young adults during WWII (my dad is a vet), and diehard liberals -- brought me up to be respectful of others above all else.

I personally believe that we have a responsibility to always endeavor to add to the sum total of GOODNESS in the world, in order to counterbalance all the negative as best we can.
