I think that is almost a fair assessment. I think that most liberals support personal responsibility but don't think that enforcing it with the will of law is a good idea. I would love to help people make better decisions, but regardless of the decisions they make, the shouldn't be living on the streets as bums... Personal responsibility as the only responsibility is the hallmark of a Conservative mindset. "I've got mine... Sorry if you needed help."

That is THEE standard of Liberalism...In fact, I think most Liberals would find what you just said offensive!... Enforcing it IS the whole idea of it... Handing out needles to drug adducts (taxpayer expense)... Handing out condoms to middle school children (taxpayer expense)... Attempting to shut down military recruitment centers to prevent choice... ALL of that is "personal responsibility" that they want taken away... You even mentioned welfare...THAT is establishing law to redistibute wealth!!!!... It's the exact opposite of the American Dream...where you can make it if you try hard enough... They want it to be "You don't have to try anymore...the government will PROVIDE you with it so don't bother being motivated."... ![]()

The offensive idea is that because a person made a different choice or even a poor choice that they are no longer valued as human beings with feelings and needs. The American Dream is no longer something so selfish as have massive amounts of accumulated wealth, sure thats part of it, but now the American Dream tends to include a view of America where there isn't needless suffering. This is something that Conservatives fail to see. Their emphasis on personal responsibility is good, don't get me wrong. Many people are motivated through that message, but to say that people who fail to live up to that standard don't deserve basic care is to say that there is no inherent value in being human.
