It’s a funny thing, that idea of power. Liberals get some and they think they have all of it.

And it is EXCLUSIVELY liberals because actual conservatives arent cheating on their spouses.

Well viruses seek to reproduce. Liberals being a virus and anal warts themselves are merely doing that.

How do you figure that adultery is conservative? Do you also consider pedophiles ‘christian’ if they go to church on Sunday?

A thing is or it is not. When you act in ways counter to the thing, you arent that.
