For all the Peacenik, Hippie, Tree-Hugging, Anti-War folks ....

65. I will grant you progressive. But there is nothing remotely "liberal" about anti-war.

Prior to the end of Vietnam, Liberals were out in the forefront when it came to fighting (and winning) wars. Liberals the world over have often been the instigators of war.

The Conservative rank-and-file have a strong isolationist streak which makes them naturally pre-disposed against us getting into wars in the first place. But as authoritarians they oppose speaking out against a war once begun. Conversely, Liberals are interventionists and far more likely to get into a war. But still support your right to have your anti-war argument heard. Supporting that right does not mean agreeing with your anti-war argument.

I think this is where the anti-war crowd got these things confused.
