I don't think you understand the situation. While you may believe you have great insight, while others who are conservatives are merely Neanderthals scratching their hindquarters. You aren't expanding anyone's understanding, but driving them farther away from your point of view. Every man's own perception is his reality. So, while you wax philosophically on a forum concerning liberalism. Others are dealing with what they see scripturally. Philosophy and the Bible are diametrically opposed.
