- First of all, this is just your silliness of calling everyone you think
- is bad liberal. Hitler was a liberal, the Soviet Union is liberal, etc.
- Yeah, right. That has no relation to the meaning of the word at all.
-
- Of course, you don't mind lying about homosexuality and child molestation,
- so I don't know why you'd mind making up meanings of words.
-
- Ronald Reagan, Richard Nixon, George Bush, Pat Buchanan, Pat Robertson,
- Spiro Agnew, and Dan Quayle are not liberals. And they've been awfully
- big proponents of the WOD. "Law-and-order" was not a liberal invention.
-
- And there is no prohibition on voluntary prayer in schools. You've
- bought the Falwell lie. People can pray if they want. What's
- prohibited is school-sponsored prayers.
