A Reality Check Bounces

I've been looking through the comments that try to define liberalism and conservatism, and I noticed something very interesting.

When many libs talk about conservatives, they say things like:

  • Conservatives are for torture
  • Conservatives repress civil rights
  • Conservatives are against minority rights
  • Conservatives are against women's rights
  • Conservatives are against religious freedom
  • Conservatives favor security over liberty

All of which is kind of strange when you think about it, because conservatives are supporting a war to remove a regime which featured each and every one of the above, while liberals were and are for the most part against it.

There appears to be a fundamental disconnect here.
