I see we have another liberal who wishes to not be associated with leftists.

When have liberals ever wanted to be associated with leftists? Leftists--that is Marxists, anarchists, and socialists-- have disagreed with liberals on many important questions including the place of capitalism, the State itself, imperialism, and a top-down hierarchy that generally exists in western society. Liberals are notorious for compromising on these issues in ways leftists would never consider.

When have liberals ever wanted to be associated with leftists?

I could point out the 1960s and 70s....but...how old are you anyway?

From what I remember from the 60s and 70s, liberals often supported the Vietnam War, at least when Democrats occupied the White House, while leftists like Chomsky and Zinn had a more principled stand. Liberals of the time turned on Dr. King when he pointed out the greatest purveyor of violence in the world, but leftists applauded his insight. Maybe liberals want to be associated with leftists only when scavenging votes for neo-cons like Clinton and Obama?

Obama is a neo-con...kind of like Dick Cheney?

Put down the bong ... walk away ... just say no to mind altering drugs....

My alma mater noticed that a liberal government is doing something wrong?

That is a first.

The govt must REALLY suck if they noticed it.

Exactly.

I hope they enjoy the fruits of their labor, the douchebags.
