23. Try to stay on topic. We're discussing the definition of liberal.

Again, a poor attempt at misdirection. Very poor.

Back to the subject at hand:

My definition of a liberal is someone who will defer to the person who knows more than they do about something..."


I was discussing YOUR definition of liberal randy. Do you recognize it? Its right there quoted above.

Those words are YOURS.

Hypocrisy is defined as saying or feeling one thing and doing another.

A word to the wise:

I will not fall for your sophomoric attempts at misdirection, but feel free to continue trying, and I'll continue to swat them like mosquitos. Meanwhile, the thread keeps getting kicked to the top, and getting more and more exposure, which I am all for.

On edit:

You would think after all this time I would stop being surprised at being called out when I say CLEARLY very liberal things like I did in this thread.


Aww. Now isn't that cute, a straw man. You're not being called out for saying liberal things randy. You're being called out for disregarding your own definition of liberal when it suits your biases.

That's where that 'H' word comes in, but you knew that, didn't you.
