Buying into the whole liberal label = an ideology from Robespierre to Lenin along with ironclad positions on the typical laundry list of issues like racism, death penalty etc, is a Big mistake.
A mistake that conservatives and the oligarchy they represent wants you to make.

He who defines the debate rules so by defining liberal poistions and then turning it inside out to reveal a paradox, is far removed from the big picture.

Ghandi is as human as anyone else and wished certain people dead.
A liberal who lost a loved one to a grisly murder by a serial killer might seek the death penalty while the conservative whose cousin killed their brother might not.

No one issue should represent people. Thats the trouble with single issue politics such as the abortion protestors/terrorists. In the real world there are many other issues that supercedes the single issue politic in which they are embroiled.
