23. I believe real liberals have consistently liberal values

That are consistently reflected in their posts. There are BOG people, for example, who defend the indefendisble...I do not consider them liberal. I have been here since 2001, and I know there are many allies here. Not all of them are BOG people, and since I am not either, I am fine with constructive criticism...no one should be above that. What I see happening is an over-defense because of truly
unfair and racist criticism. I have to ask myself: who benefits from that? I cannot support the pipeline or fracking or more fucked up trade deals. Since the Obama administration supports all of the above, I have some issues with it. That doesn't make me any different than I was when Bush was in office. If Bush was president, I would still oppose those issues. I know there are people here who feel the sane way.
