They operate from the stand point that they obviously know what is best and they will make all the rules.They clearly know how people should behave (poitical correctness), how the whole universe functions( environmental fundamentalism) and economics( take the money from those who earn it and give it to those who sit on their a--).

I will address the issue of being liberal.
Well, Billy Boy, most of the self-proclaimed "liberals" on this board certainly seem to think like that. I don't think of them as liberals though...they are just snobs.
I see very little intelligence on either side of the debating table on this forum. People in general are too emotional and too concerned with being "right" in order to satisfy their own ego, rather than being correct in fact. Grand statements of opinion get made as if they were incontravertable with nothing ever to back them up.
I also find it interesting how different regions of the country disagree ( at least I think it is a regional phenomenon). From what I can tell, I have very little in common with the "liberals" and "Democrats" from CA and MA.
Their paternalisitc agenda seems basically to be the "old money" conservative stereotype from years ago. Interesting how ideologies have swapped places.
So am I a liberal? On some social issues, certainly yes. Am I a "liberal" like some on this board. Hell no! Quite frankly, I don't think they know what liberal is.
