The reason the word "liberal" is always in quotation marks when addressing
morons like lojbab is that it's an insult to the English language to use
such a previously good word to describe the STUPIDITY of someone who would
argue that races don't exist at the same time that they argue that anyone
who challenges their STUPIDITY is a "racist".

It's become obvious that such "liberals" use this term as a mere debate
tactic because they "think" they score some kind of debate points whenever
they repeat media mantra that they can never hope to fully appreciate or
comprehend.

If it's got a nice ring or bite to it, then it's good enough for a
"liberal"--but attempting to get them to clarify their ambidextrous
"thinking" is like asking a tree to bark.

Jd, lojbab's argument isn't with you or the Holy Bible or God--it's with
herself.
