If you are a Proud Bleeding Heart Liberal Raise your hand

[rbrnmw]

I am a bleeding heart Left Wing card carrying member of the Democratic Party and Damn Proud of it!!!!!!

[femmocrat]

1. There's a card? I didn't know that.

:hi: <--- denotes hand-raising

:patriot: <--- denotes pride

[rbrnmw]

14. I got one a long time ago when I donated

I have donated since but never got a new one

[Uncle_Gunnysack]

85. Somehow, I'm not able to take that seriously without more proof.

When did this "long time ago" occur?

[pnwmom]

2. I am a proud bleeding heart liberal! But I am also practical.

I always vote so that the more progressive candidate will prevail. In other words, I don't withhold my vote or throw it away on third party candidates who don't have a chance.

[johnaries]

9. I'm right there with you! I'm a proud bleeding heart liberal.

But I like to see things get done, not just stand there and scream because they don't get done the way I wanted.

Nobody gets to tell me I'm not a bleeding heart liberal.

[blondeatlast]

58. Well said! nt

[polmaven]

40. There ya go!

I will cast my vote for the Democrat EVERY time, but the country is not NEARLY as liberal as I would like to see, and a very left winger will not win, and we would be left with (R)'s all over the place!

6. JFK: "I'm proud to say I'm a 'Liberal'."

A Liberal Definition by John F. Kennedy:
Acceptance Speech of the New York
Liberal Party Nomination
September 14, 1960

What do our opponents mean when they apply to us the label "Liberal?" If by "Liberal" they mean, as they want people to believe, someone who is soft in his policies abroad, who is against local government, and who is unconcerned with the taxpayer's dollar, then the record of this party and its members demonstrate that we are not that kind of "Liberal." But 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."

8. You know where the image comes from...

[tridim]

10. I'm an adjective-less Liberal.

"Bleeding heart" has always been a term of derision, it doesn't really mean anything anymore.

[rbrnmw]

19. I don't look it as derison I would rather be bleeding heart than cold or heartless

they may have meant it that way but my heart does bleed for the down trodden and oppressed people of the world I see nothing wrong with admitting my heart bleeds for others pain and suffering

My bleeding heart is used as one-man blood drive during disasters. And I happen to think there's not a damn thing wrong with compassion.

[Hekate]

22. Pretty much my whole life I have been a bleeding heart liberal. Kind of surprised me to find out...

... that what I thought was an ethical and very American belief in social justice and progress was known derisively in other circles as being a do-gooder and bleeding heart. Like that's a bad thing.

But hey-- at least my shoes are sensible. Very very sensible. ;-)

I don't believe in wars of invasion, I don't believe in forcing other folks religions down those that don't believe, I don't believe in a few having everything.

I'm runnin outa words, but I hope you get my drift.
