Contraria

Edward C. "Coe" Heller is a Los Angeles-based film producer who believes that if everyone knows something to be true it is probably false. A friend, tired of listening to rants has suggested a blog as a harmless outlet. Coe believes it is vanity, and a chasing after the wind, but is unsure it is harmless.

The Liberal Manifesto Part 3

The Liberal Manifesto Part 3. We are not Democrats

We are not Democrats because:

1. We reject the identity politics of the Democratic party which divides us by race, gender, sexual orientation or other identity issues. We are better people as Americans than as hyphenated Americans, and we reject the quotas and pandering which have become the daily fare of the Democrats.

2. We reject the moral relativism of Democrats who proclaim that all values are of equal value and who therefore stand for nothing.

3. We take pride in our successes and do not gloat at our failures. While Democrats seek to fix the blame, Liberals seek to fix the problem.

4. We oppose judicial rejection of legislative prerogative. We understand the difference between constitutional rights and judicial preferences, and fear the day when radically conservative justices may take the same liberties as radical Democratic judges have in the most recent past.

5. We reject "political correctness", speech codes, thought control and censorship.

6. We believe that rights cannot be separated from responsibilities. The proliferation of rights separated from responsibilities of citizenship is not to the benefit of our country.
