You're also mistaken thinking that pretense is something confined to
liberals. I can cite you scads of republicans just like that. It makes
no sense to make accusations about one party when the facts show the
other is just as guilty. All that shows is a personal bias.

Hawke, Just a comment on your statement:
You are implying that "liberal" equals "Democrat" and that
"republican" is something other.
In my opinion, with lots of observed instances, there are
almost as many "liberal" Republicans as there are Democrats.
ie. please don't mix the two dominant political parties up
with the principles of liberalism and conservatism.
