You're certainly entitled to your opinion, but as usual you destroy all that credibility you build with real arguments (which, by the way, you really do) by finishing it all off with some rediculously partisan statement about how "a liberal" will always do this or that. Blind partisanism is ALWAYS a deterent to real progress. It's just plain unamerican.
And you also are entitled to your opinion. That IS American.
When I speak about what is part of the liberal tactic (some say "bag of tricks") since the 1960's, I refer to intimate, personal knowlege that I have to share. It isn't simply the observation of a partisan, as you are suggesting.
Rather than the oberservation of liberal tactics being a partisan act, it is an attempt to identify and clarify the dynamic of the discussion, how it is often muddied and obfuscated, by using my own experiences as a guide.
I often saw personal attacks being launched by liberals when I WAS one, as it was the easiest way to shift the argument from the issues to visceral reactions surrounding personalities and insults. Words like "your boy bush" rather than "our current president" are good examples of this attitude. It is juvenile AND liberal, with only a few exceptions in the media today, like Alan Colmes and Maura Liasson, who are mature enough and far enough from party politics to have a sensible, if frustrating, discussion of the issues. Even with Alan, you can tell he often doesn't fully believe what he is saying. That, in itself, says a great deal.
