I beg to disagree with your comment if you intend it as a blanket statement. I've known plenty of liberals who have more of a libertarian cast to their views, and they view the First Amendment as almost sacred.
They would defend your right to vehemently excoriate Ted Kennedy, the ACLU and FDR. Seriously. But they would be the first out there demonstrating against you and writing letters to the editor.
I'm sorry that you haven't met any of them. They make good debate partners.
"They ("liberals") make good debate partners."
Sorry to say, I haven't met any either.
All of the "liberals" I've ever known--public figures or private--make a big show over the 1st Amendment, usually just before taking the position that the 2nd should be abolished, then their matriarch Hildabeast tries another tack at eliminating sites like FR from the internet.
Squash them like bugs . . .
Mebbe it's a matter of semantics, but all the "liberals"
I've ever known were slanderous, treacherous insects.
