While the definition given for “Liberal” is true, calling Leftists “Liberals” is not.

As John ray says, . . .

“Many people would like to be kind to others so Leftists exploit that with their nonsense about equality. Most people want a clean, green environment so Greenies exploit that by inventing all sorts of far-fetched threats to the environment. But for both, the real motive is generally to promote themselves as wiser and better than everyone else, truth regardless.

Global warming has taken the place of Communism as an absurdity that “liberals” will defend to the death regardless of the evidence showing its folly. Evidence never has mattered to real Leftists”

Oh wait, did I say global warming, I meant evil. I don't suppose I have to tell people that wiping out humanity is a bad thing, right? And that any motivations or philosophies that advocate it, are also a bad thing. That's the worst case scenario in a way. But even the best case scenario is simple apathy. You just don't care. Why defend the Iraqis from death squads if humanity's very existence sustains eivl?
