A true liberal — in the classic sense of the word — expresses a nuanced and sophisticated opinion<\/a> of today’s soi-disant “progressives”:<\/p>\n

Remember that [liberal] stuff at the top of this rant I said I believed? I got news for you, cupie-doll, those guys you’re rooting for don’t. They
\nreally don’t. They want to see your gay friends dead, they want to see
\nyour daughters and sisters slaves in their own homes, they do not
\ntolerate any religion not their specific sect. They want the word of a
\nman in their religious courts to trump the word of any woman. They
\nbelieve in the concept of racism: of second- and third-class people,
\nand believe this “truth” comes from God. They want to strap your child
\nto explosives and send your child into the homes of their enemies.
\nThey’re not liberal. They’re not poor and oppressed, they’re wealthy
\nbeyond your feeble imagination and drive fleets of cars out of your
\npricerange. They’re not oppressed underdogs yearning to be free.
\nThey’re illiberal medievalists, and you think they’re just dandy. And
\nyet you drool at the idea that they kill our Marines and Soldiers, and
\nyou hope they win because it makes Bush look bad. You, a so-called
\n“progressive”, a self-proclaimed Liberal, rooting and cheering for
\npeople as anti-liberal as you can get. You gleefully call Bush a Nazi
\nwhile ignoring the real fascists. Nice going, slick. How the hell do
\nyou sleep at night, you brainless wonder?<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Read it all.<\/p>\n
