"I will tell you, I am a liberal; I am a progressive. But, you know what I really am? I am a "bleeding-heart conservative." Yes, you will not mess with my First Amendment. You will not mess with my Bill of Rights. You will not mess with my guarantees under the Constitution. My civil liberties. I am a conservative that way. But what does my heart bleed for in a liberal way? For when the president says, "We shall leave no child behind," this liberal is prepared to give up with he has to give up in order that no child be left behind."
