The \u201cliberal cause\u201d is a pejorative colloquialism meant to signify an attempt to assist a person, group, or issue for whom those who are not liberal, or just don\u2019t go in for causes, would consider helping to be silly, sentimental, or even morally wrong.\u00a0Labeling\u00a0things a \u201cLiberal Cause\u201d is something folks like Glenn Beck or Rush Limbaugh do constantly. Liberal Causes are things that Matt Damon and George Clooney support. I\u2019ve always disliked the phrase because I do not consider myself to be a true political or Philosophical liberal, but I sometimes go in for causes (though not as often as you might think). Whether you are a fan or a foe of the liberal cause, it\u2019s good to be able to laugh at ourselves, right? Harvard Sailing Team can help as they remind all of us that not taking ourselves too seriously is one of he more important keys to happiness.<\/p>\n
