Further. Making "liberal" a word of contempt is the same sort of thing as calling a kid who likes to read a "nerd" or a "dork." No kid wants to be thought of as a "dork," so he might just give up reading. If you can make "liberal" a term of contempt, then many people will be intimidated into not wanting to be one. Thus one drastically reduces the number of liberals in this country.

Except for those who think.
