Egad..A " militant liberal"? Sheesh. Something is very amiss. I'm hardly a militant liberal. I haven't voted for a liberal in nearly forty years. Liberalism in my view is nothing more than a failed good intention ( and all the cliches that implies). Intentions and realities are very different. Liberals are not evil. They are just stunningly naive and awesomely thick headed.
I don't subscribe to any political philosophy that adopts any manner of cult like adoration as part of its method. That way madness lies. I believe in numbers and analysis. Anything less is the mindless bawling of a herd.
I support a policy because it is correct and doable. Not because it is politically correct and merely a single song in the ideological hymnal. When politics begins to resemble a religion it is time to pause and reflect on what that means. Politics is the art of the doable. Religion is the art of the impossible. Confuse the two and it results in disaster.
I agree with most of the rest of your post, with one exception:
Liberals are not evil. They are just stunningly naive and awesomely thick headed.
When liberals conspire to populate the grade schools and universities with ignorant clones of themselves in order to render our children illogical and illiterate, susceptible to political advertising disguised as "primetime sitcoms", they become evil.
Anyone who deliberately promotes ignorance is evil, in my book.
