It wasn't off topic. I was directly responding to an outrageously silly lie about some legislation--which was directly related to the original topic. It's not off topic, it's adding context.

Most liberals don't want to keep score at little league games because they don't think the children should realize that there are 'winners' and 'losers' for fear of damaging their fragile self esteem.

Most liberals object to dodgeball because humans are seen as 'targets' and usually the weak are eliminated first (preferrably with a head shot).

Most liberals are probably willing to give a pedophile the benefit of the doubt since it's not really the pedophiles fault that he rapes children....it's society's fault for putting him in this position and not being able to control himself.

It will not become illegal to hit a pedophile raping your child with your purse. Now, go calm down and nibble on some apple slices until the next Outrage Of The Week!!!

I can't rep you again, but this made me laugh.

Ridiculous. "Most" liberals eh? You can't be so stupid as to believe that, not if the accomplishments you claim are true.

Go to the corner, boy. Don't come out for 15 minutes.

There are some truly silly liberals out there asking for outlandish things, and the right has been good at extrapolating the extremist leftwing "don't keep score at little league games" views to all people who vote Democrat--even though the Democratic party has been more in the mainstream and more centrist than the Republicans for at least fifteen years.

You're confusing "Union Partisans" with "Liberal".
The two are not interchangeable.

Trade unionists are by nature liberal, unions being perhaps the most anti-authoritarian and anti-establishment organizations that exist in modern American society. And the most hated by the establishment and the conservative authoritarians.

The conservatives have made their peace with Blacks and are trying to make peace with Mexican-Americans and Gays. But the conservatives will never make peace with unions. Being defined as the prime enemy by the conservatives would seem to make unionism a liberal endeavor.

Unions are responsible for the 8 hour work day, overtime pay, child labor laws, and multiple other workers rights and labor laws. My understanding is that conservatives hate government regulation of business, so yeah, they do have a history of being liberal, at least economically. Unions have always been labeled communists/ communist sympathizers.
