(26,314 posts)cannot be liberal.
Many are even right wing but of the statist orientation rather than anti-government persuasion and have found little purchase in the TeaPubliKlan party that moved to hardcore promotion of anti-government prime directive so they have hopped the fence or at this point, grown up on this side of the fence and attempt to weave their bullshit into our fabric since we believe in government as a necessary tool to order a society.
These people when they find themselves in high office operate in concert with the Bush Big Government regressives to the point that they are one and the same in many critical matters and we see the same wicked motherfuckers (not ideologically similar but literally the same bastards) in top positions, particularly in law enforcement, clandestine operations, and anything doing with security and "intelligence". Ideologically similar but different faces are reserved for those with juice in economic matters.
