I forgot that one: tarring anyone who disagrees with them, regardless of
their politics, a "leftist liberal".

: Paranoia?  We've got evidence that the government wants to quash us.  

Every paranoid thinks he has convincing evidence of conspiracies and cabals
and noises in his head. We used to write these idiots off to the lunatic
fringe but they appear to have congealed into a wacko political movement
with paramilitary geeks in khakis claiming to be protecting my rights while
simultaneously branding anyone who disagrees with them a "bleeding heart
liberal" or whatever.

From your intolerant comments, so apparently do you. Unless those
independent Americans think like you, that is.

: Ignorance?  My guess is I've studied more Supreme Court cases than you. 

You said to someone else here you didn't know that you had "studied" the
situation more than s/he. It must be reassuring to be so comfortable in your
superior experience and intellect but it would be more convincing to me if
you gave some evidence that you were capable of more than kneejerk bluster
and vacant opinion.
