"The fact that you didn't respond to mine doesn't surprise me, either." Because if you had understood what I was talking about, a response wasn't needed. Since you push the issue... When the statement "he draped himself in the flag" is used, it refers to a (usually) politician that loudly proclaims patriotism to distract opponents from other issues. My extension of the concept to " Liberals like to drape themselves in the flag of personal liberty, conservatives in the flag of morality.", would imply to a rational person that neither is really interested in the supposed base issue, but use it to distract attention from other things. The fact that you still didn't understand that, but keyed on the word "liberal" adds support to my contention that you are just an Eliza-like program. Or thinks strictly in Rogerian therapy terms, but I doubt if real humans do that... "The Texas sodomy law has been on the books for many, many years." Wrong. Most were eliminated in the mid-70s. But your programmer probably didn't know that. "However, in its current form, it was signed into law by liberal Democrat Ann Richards, in 1992 or '93." While there might have been a revision of them then, they passed the original clutch in the early '80s. And were signed into law by Bill Clements, IIRC. I don't think either he, or the members of the State Legislature that actually crafted and passed those laws could be described as "liberal". Ok, you might, but you called Tim is a liberal...
