Yeah... Liberals can be racists, you know?

Oh I completely agree with you, I'm a more libertarian kind of socialist myself so I definitely don't think liberalism is the answer. I also think that's is disingenuous, and really discrediting to leftists as a whole, when people try to say that the GOP is liberal. They're definitely not; on almost any social issue they are firmly opposed to the liberal position on civil rights, freedom of association, etc etc.

I think it's disingenuous to leftists to call liberals leftist. Liberals are right wing and always have been.

I didn't mean to imply that liberals are leftists, but rather that the GOP isn't liberal other than economically.
