" 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, their civil liberties - someone who thinks we can breakthrough the stalemates and suspicions that grip us in our policies abroad, if that is what they mean by liberal, then I'm proud to say I'm a 'Liberal'."
John F. Kennedy - From "Profiles in Courage"
