The definition of “bleeding heart” is “a person who is considered excessively sympathetic toward those who claim to be underprivileged or exploited.”

Those who call me a "Bleeding Heart Liberal" probably think I am offended and will try to defend against what they believe is a derogatory term.
But, I am not one bit ashamed of being a Liberal, let alone a Bleeding Heart Liberal.

So to those that think this to be derogatory I say fuck you - fuck you very much, and that's all I have to say about that.
