Are you just now figuring this out? I'm REALLY not kidding. Think of Dick Cheney versus John Lennon. The turnaround of these longtime truths, in peoples' perceptions, in just a few years, is one of the most astonishing political coups I have EVER seen. Yes, liberals have always been for freedom, liberty and privacy. The ACLU fights this stuff all the time. It is, as I say, just astonishing that people have the perception you appear to have.
