Michael likes liberals.

How do you mean? Please give me an example of a liberal he likes-we are talking politics here, just so we are on the same level. He came out strongly for the conservative Tom McClintock in the governors race here in CA. Policy-wise, he can't stand liberism. He can separate the politics from the person, although not in all cases. It's just suprising how fast people denigrate the man around here, when he is such a strong conservative. You don't have to agree with everything someone says to know what side they are on. Keep in mind that Michael lives in SF, so he lives in the dregs of liberalism and it clearly affects him.

He personally likes liberals even as he hates their ideology. I suspect he was a liberal at one time in his life and feels comfortable around them as long as he can dominate or express himself. He is possibly a brilliant man, at the least quite intelligent, but I suspect he has struggled with life. At least he has not surrendered and is right on many issues at a gut level albeit without the capacity or willingness to actually devise a policy that actual human beings could implement.
