Yes. Liberalism has become a code word against everything wholesome that made this the greatest country ever. Liberalism would declare it a 'hate crime" for boy scouts who would not allow homosexuals to sleep in their tents. (BTW, how many homosexuals have molested boy scouts?) They believe in moral relativism--anything which would destroy the Christian foundation which formed this country.
