Your analogy lacks merit. You are trying to compare a real situation with a bogus hypothetical that has no comparison based on some (or any) resemblance of similarities. And my observation stands. In fact, you have provided additional support of my observation. When it suits certain liberals, they can put the "L" in liberal to make something fit nicely into their ideological agenda. There are few boundaries that cannot or will not be generously stretched under those circumstances (that just happens to allow it to fit their liberal POV). Yet they can be consistently inconsistent by being extremely conservative (read literal) when something needs to fit nicely into their ideological spin machine. Under these circumstances the boundaries are rigid & inflexible. They are strictly applied so as to leave no room to allow for appropriate consideration for current circumstances (without which, it would clearly be contrary to their liberal POV). It all depends on the situation. The outcome however, consistently favors their liberal POV..... even if at times this consistently inconsistent standard is applied hypocritically (I.E. one standard applied when it affects liberals or liberal ideology, yet the precisely same situation for conservatives is treated by a completely opposite standard, with the end result always favoring the liberal's POV).
