188. Ohhhhh the "liberal sin"
The phenomena you describe is what I call "liberal sin." We are all guilty, acting against the ideal liberal paradigm. There is no universal archetype, the animal rights groups deplores your carnivorous ways, the environmentalists deplore your gas usage, and don't even mention capitalism. You will be banished to saying 12 'hale Clintons' and 14 'our Kennedys'.

Liberal religiosity is a common affliction, dare not commit a sin.

It is narrow minded B.S., and as you pointed out, the same kind of goose stepping nonsense expected of the freeper. I hear you, I was a poor little Berkeley undergrad, lived at Taco Bell, shopped at Wal-Mart, and generally ignored liberal calls to action.

Did I see the light? Nope, I drive a gas guzzling german sports car, spend way too much money on hedonism, and still enjoy a juicy steak. Sinner? No, I vote democrat, donate to 10 different causes, including this site, donate time to the democratic party, and when the school loans are paid, will donate time to doctors without borders.

A person should not be defined by a single action, we are not saints. Progressives have one thing in common, a belief that the world can be a better place. Not just for the rich and educated, for everyone, regardless of race, religion, nationality, sexual orientation, sex, or intelligence.

Leave the sin to the fundie freeper, we are progressives, a large tent with a common cause, accept the differences and celebrate the similarities. I feel your pain, and your appetite. I think I will make a run to the border for a beef encherito and a diet Mountain Dew.

Bon Apetite......:evilgrin:
