re: but when it comes to torture, it's pretty damn black-n-white to you. That makes you a hypocrite.

So be it... I'm a partisan liberal hypocrite because I don't believe in torture. I'm probably a communist hypocrite because I don't believe in murder. But I must be a relativist because I don't believe in gun control. And I'm certainly a relativist because I believe in local control on social issues (though I have my own opinions I don't think they should be imposed on communities that may think differently).

And lets see, I supported the first Gulf war and vehemently opposed the second (which so far proved to be pretty prescient). Is that a relativist or a hypocrite or what? You never support torture but you support the Bush admin, is that relativist or hypocrite or what?

What's the exact difference between a relativist and a partisan anyway? Can you explain that?
