I never hate liberals because I was once one of them in some aspects I am still a liberal.
But I always vote my wallet, what's in it for me, liberals just want to take take take...
While I disagree with hate and your position, I understand it. The most virulent anti-smokers are former smokers. We have former Republicans who are equally hateful of all those to the right of their position.
I was a Republican from 1974 until around 2010. It was a gradual transition to being an independent/moderate who found the Libertarian party representing my interests more than the Republican party. Obviously the Democrats represent even fewer of my interests.
