70. Wow, what a mess!
First of all, umass, you walked into a room full of liberals and said "There is a liberal dogma, and it needs to be killed" And you're surprised and dismayed at our reaction??

You no doubt have some good points somewhere in your arguments, but nobody's listening because of your heavy handed introduction ("...and it needs to be killed."

First of all, screw Newt Gingrich and his current Republican thugs. You think it's the Democrats who are in denial and are confused? What about a party that has us bogged down in a war that cannot be won, that spends big bucks on parties while our kids are getting killed and maimed? What about a party that excoriated Democrats for fiscal irresponsibility and then turned around and ran up the biggest deficit in history? What about a party that encourages bigotry against gays and consciously appeals to bigoted whites? I could go on and on. It's the Republicans that are in denial that they can continue on their present path and expect to win in the future.

If you want to argue specific Democratic/liberal policies, then do it, policy by policy, but don't paint our entire liberal philosophy with a broad brush and proclaim it must be killed.
