Or more likely to the Pseudo Christianity which is what passes for the real

Nah, he's bright enough, it's just that he's got his knickers

So far up the crack in his ass that his brain has split in two?

Thanks, I'll give it a gander.
there's a pair of USA maps. One shows
the states where people are most generous, in terms of charity, blood
donations, volunteerism, that sort of thing. The other map is the
states that voted for Kerry. They are almost exact complements.

I gave blood a couple weeks ago. I was lucky they could squeeze me
in--standing room only, so to speak.

Best,

(Dang it, lost another one. Google Groups keeps losing my posts!
Something about leaving a post composed on the screen too long (20-40
minutes?) before sending it. Google reports them as being
successfully sent, but they go to the bit-bucket instead.)

Wrong as usual.

"There is no progress without liberals".

True, if you define "conservative" as "resisting change," but wrong
for conservative in the sense of "conserving [a resource]," or in the
sense of "prudent judgement," "allowing a margin of safety," or
"fiscally responsible."

The political parties' euphemisms don't mean much--some of the most
intolerant people I know these days call themselves "liberals."
"Liberal" mostly means "socialist" in the US, and conservatives are
leaning that way too.

And why the heck not? It's all so simple. Prices too high? Hey,
let's put price controls on everything!

There are few conservatives in the USA. Most all of the self styled ones are
actually greedy reactionaries.

Liberals are afraid of the term because of the way it has been abused by the
greedy reactionaries.

Liberals are driven by hope.

Reactionaries are driven by fear.

Interesting. I'd have said it differently.

"Liberals" seem afraid of things they don't understand.
Conservatives seem oblivious to them.

Liberal/conservative is often a silly smokescreen. I think a better,
in the sense of more useful, way to separate people is by their levels
of fear and courage (or oblivion to fear, if you prefer.) But I'm sure
that liberal:conservative correlates to afraid:unafraid.

Conservatives, and especially religious conservatives, tend strongly
to be generous, civil, social, and civic-minded (those are statistical
facts) and less driven by fear (my opinion.)

I know for sure that chickens make rotten electronics designers, and
that, in business or personal matters, it's unwise to trust a coward.

liberal:conservative <=> cowardice:courage

Yet liberals tend to be the bullies... enforcing their thoughts as if
their's are the only truth... freedom of speech for liberals only.

OK, now I understand that your term "liberal weenie" isn't meant to be
an insult, it's merely a demographic.

So those who struggled for civil rights were all cowards and the thug cops
who set dogs and used fire hoses on them were all brave? Have you seen the
Mad Hatter in your world recently? Alice?

Right. Gitmo was set up by the liberal G W Bush and the reason he has so
called 'Free Speech Zones' set up miles away from him is because he is so
brave.

Yes, he's been the bastion of free speech in recent years - NOT!
