Liberalism is a gutless choice.
There is no "mostly" about it...either you are or not or you are just confused or too yellow bellied to stand by any conviction for fear of offending someone.
Most people are not 100% one or the other. Of course you can be mostly liberal or mostly conservative. I may agree with the liberal idea that abortion should be legal, but disagee with the liberal idea that minority groups should be hired into jobs just so the company can meet a certain percentage of minority workers.
Trust me, I'm not afraid of offending you. I don't need your approval.
Of course you're not afraid of offending me...I'm a conservative and most people on the left look at that as a sport.
I'm talking about offending the libs which populate your backyard sandbox.
Offending me would just get you a pat on the back and maybe an extra plastic shovel and pail.
Libs are the real fascists and will vilify you, mock you in private and in public, and excommunicate you from their little world if you don't march in lockstep.
The Stalinist Left are those you wish not to offend, not me.
That could be quite hazardous.
