"This place is NOT the Liberal bastion it pretends to be."

Yeah and neither is the Obama administration. Or the country for that matter.

Seems to me people don't even know what that word means anymore. You actually believe you are a liberal? With a post like this? All innuendo, hyperbole, and bullshit with not a single fact to back it up. Seems quite conservative to me.
