That paragraph is guaranteed to p/o any leftie reading it even though it is generally accurate. Pick any liberal on SI - I can guarantee you that they in fact do believe most of those things:

the war in Iraq is immoral

Pretty much every liberal believes this.

, Israel should be pressured to make more concessions for peace

Most believe this.

, guns should be outlawed,

Not all of them believe this.

abortion should be available on demand

Another almost universal liberal belief.

US foreign policy was responsible for 9/11

Most believe this.

,the United States should not have a military until it abandons the policy of "don't ask, don't tell"

Most do have a big problem with "don't ask, don't tell". Most believe we have far too large a military.

, religion can be ridiculed unless it is done in a mosque or Trinity United

This is true in practice.

, the gravest threat to individual liberty is the government eavesdropping on phone calls from Al Qaeda

Most believe this.

, captured terrorists should be Mirandized, lawyered up

Most believe this too. Captured terrorists should have the same rights as accused car thieves.

I will point out that the author of the piece, I believe, is a centrist oriented Democrat.
