"all free thinkers according to liberals

That is just crap. Don't be ridiculous. It doesn't matter what dictionary or encyclopedia you go to the meaning is the same. Even the words vary hardly at all.

"a philosophical viewpoint that holds that beliefs should be formed on the basis of science and logic and not be compromised by emotion, authority, tradition, or any dogma. The cognitive application of freethought is known as freethinking, and practitioners of freethought are known as freethinkers."

That is what a freethinker is and does. I have looked through lists of HUNDREDS of freethinkers and have never found one who was not a benefactor to humankind. And one would not expect to find such a one. It should be obvious to even a fifth grader that no ranking communist party member is eligible.

Indeed, Communism is a polar opposite to free thinking. To even suggest that an IDEOLOGUE is a "Freethinker" is to embarrass yourself before decent society.

Like maybe an atheist is a Christian? Why not swallow all those funny pills?
