Of course, sticking with tradition, they have no idea why they reflexively react to the word 'liberal' with anger and rage. Same with words like 'socialism' and 'Obama'. They are trigger words brainwashed into their head by Foxnews as being somehow evil and wrong.

They are the people that get called 'sheeple'. Yet they remind me more of lemmings.
