Rush brought up something today about liberals that got me to thinking. He said we can't expect them to come around because liberaliasm is a religious faith to them. One of their doctrines is that all weapons are bad. Hence it's easy to kick out of school an excellent student, a role model citizen because he has a hatchet in the trunk of his car in the school parking lot. Never mind that it is a Boy Scout hatchet, and it was in his trunk from a scout meeting the night before. Zero Tolerance, this from the great crusaders of tolerance. Many religions have a zero tolerance philosophy, and liberalism is just another one.

I propose a new phrase to enter the Freeper Lexicon: Fundamentalist Liberal

When reason is the enemy, the fundamentalist liberal will go on faith, and demand that you do too.

Superb word creation. I think we have the next "Buckhead" moment! We'll have to start working this into every day conversation, or better yet looking for it on the news. They are probably trolling this site to look for some tips on news reporting. God knows after Rathergate they can use it, especially at the Jason Blair Times (NYT)....

I think he had three strikes against him just for being a Boy Scout - the times we live in.

"Fundamentalist Liberal", eh? I like it. I and a lot of my conservative friends consider ourselves "Classic Liberals" in the vein of Thomas Jefferson et.al. and have come to resent that the word "liberal" has been hijacked and bastardized by the socialists.

I have long maintained that the American Left is the most 'religious' group I've ever seen.

I'm liberal, but I don't oppose guns. I just don't want to be @ war w/Iraq because of a grandiose plan to control the Middle East by starting by establishing a staging point in Iraq.

I like the fundamentalist part, but these guys aren't real liberals, they are hardcore leftists.

Now left wing fundamentalists, has a more accurate ring to it.

I just got the chills even saying it.

Actually, I prefer 'neocommunist'. I've been reading Skoun's book "The Naked Communist", and I've seen a lot of parallels.

What has come to be called 'Red Baiting' is just disturbingly too easy - it's possible there's a reason for it.
