Liberalism is emotive and platitude oriented.
It's also of course Messianic by nature.
It will always have more appeal than realism.
or man's subordinate relationship to God or a higher power if you wish
or hard love.
Liberalism appeals to wishing how things were and the profound need to feel more righteous than others.... the latter a neurosis that afflicts a fair number of post Goldwater/Reagan conservatives too.
Conservatives are almost always more factually informed but they get "blindsided" by emotion and a colluding media.
WarDaddy,
You're right and many are also snide, vicious and flat out dishonest (don't ask me how they justify that...I guess it's 'the lesser of two evils' argument.)
Because of this, it is my view that liberals should be defeated in the war of notions at every turn.
(It's almost spiritual for me!)
Now, in editing an encyclopedia, I'm just asking for fairness.
But even that it seems, is too much for my political opponents...
