Ah, I see. So that means defining people with statements like "folkies being, for the most part, knee-jerk liberals"
is a well thought-out and considered position, is it? Hmmm...interesting.

Ayup. Based on nearly 50 years of empirical observation (assuming I've been observing folkies since I became one in the beginning of the 60s.) Not "defining" people, though. Just stating what I've noticed. Note the "...for the most part..."
