Actually, this guy has the same insight that a conservative editorial board editor I exchange emails with shares.
He said liberals try to shoehorn the square pegs of all modern events into one of four round holes. The civil rights movement, Vietnam, Watergate, and much later, Florida in 2000.
And his assessment of the situation was blunt. In his opinion, the only cure for the Vietnam-era liberal who had not grown up was death. They will carry these views to the grave and we cannot do anything to change them.
And quite frankly, I have tried on liberal boards to talk sense to them, and I have to agree. The younger liberals are actually open to reason. But the older ones, furgeddaboutit. Their views are impervious to facts and common sense. They will keep pounding on those square pegs to make them fit - and when the pounding fails, instead of learning from such, they will just go to the next square peg and pound on it.
The big problem with liberals is the fact that they all think they're centrists.
My sister is one of them. And that is exactly the case with her. I love her dearly, but she has absolutely no political sense -- totally misconstrues conservatism and is reflexively supportive of anything deemed liberal.
And we are supposed to be the uneducated and intolerant ones...
Why should we even try to stop them?

That's a good roundup.

Some of us grew up.
