I believe “All leftists lie”, or “All liberals lie” would be a true and defensible statement.
I understand that a person can be a democrat and still be conservative in their beliefs - but there will still be a certain amount of ‘guilt by association’ as it becomes harder and harder to distinguish a democrat from the base.
The perception is that to be a democrat is to be a liberal.
To admit it on FreeRepublic is rather brave.
Well, speaking for myself, folks can and have insulted me. Lefties, righties, ‘Rats, Pubbies. I believe what I believe. Insults won’t change that. But why risk alienating folks who could/would make great allies? I used to be a five alarming, flaming lib. There is intelectual life after liberalism. Minds can change. :-)
