To answer this question we first need to separate liberalism from any particular administration and from the evil actions that individuals with positions make take.

There are many evil and/or stupid actions/positions that are take by people of both sides of the political spectrum:
  • Abortions
  • Killing abortion doctors
  • Railing on women who have had abortions
  • Homosexuality
  • Physical, economic, sociological and psychological assaults on homosexuals
  • Acting unrighteously toward any who are identified as homosexual
  • Forcing people who disagree to act as if they agree (under threat of law or monetary penalty)
These are just a few examples of how some people act on both sides of a few of the hot debates of the day.

These are issues that various people think of as immoral. We are not talking about these things.

Let's stick to the general position of liberalism v conservatism.


And if you want to consider the LCM in terms of a liberal position, I know that there have been some illegal aliens that were regular attenders in Dallas. That may not be a liberal position, but it is pretty laid-back relative to standing for the conservative position.
Don't understand your questions here, but I'm pretty sure the quote is mine.
