WE'VE ALL HEARD the phrase "bleeding-heart liberal" tossed around to belittle a certain kind of person. You know the type - someone who chokes up at the thought of all the injustices of the world. Someone who wants government to step in and solve the world's problems, make our nation a better place for the future, all that kind of crap.

Dear Amanda: I have a problem with my girlfriend. I really like her and we have been dating for about eight months, but she is so pompous.
