I honestly don’t think I’m off at all. When you add up the financial costs and poverty their actions causes with the death from crime, AIDS/STDs, interference in the doctor/patient relationship, death from suicide and the rest that are a DIRECT result of liberals and their actions, I don’t know of anyone more evil including current Muslims.

Just listing all the damage caused by liberalism would be encyclopedic is size. Just the result of death from communism alone results in 9 figures without any of the rest.

If my memory serves this should include about 50+ million unborn children since the passage of roe v wade. Mao and Stalin merely killed adults.

I tend to separate liberalism from leftism. Although many times liberalism descends into leftism. Most of today's liberals are actually leftists. Fifty years ago most Dems and Republicans shared the same social policies. Many liberals like JFK, LBJ, Hubert Humphrey and others believed in a strong national defense policy. There was very little difference between the average Dem and Republican on most social issues.

For instance, homosexual marriage was thought ridiculous by both groups. Homosexuality was where it was supposed to be...in the closet. Most real leftists were restricted to academia their old stronghold.

Now most Dem pols are leftists and a great pct. of the media are fullbore leftists. Anybody who identifies as a "progressive" is just a leftist. Those "tolerant" liberals of yesterday are mostly gone. Now we leftists running the Dem Party and in charge of social policy. Modern libertarians are the closest resemblance to old style liberals.
