Otherwise, how will you ever know the difference?
I think that's the problem with today's liberal retards (as opposed to non-retarded liberals, which seem to be in short supply nowadays... I think they've been re-labeled as moderates). They bitch and whine and decry the 'authoritarian' and 'fascist' Bushitler police state because they honestly don't know any better.
They have no fucking idea what it's like to live under a REAL police state; where your online habits, your mail, your phone calls, even your daily movements are scanned, screened, or controlled; where the police and dreaded 'security services' have almost unlimited power not to reference your international phone calls against a list of known terrorist figures, but to extort you, steal your Rolex, or rape your sister; where participation in an anti-government (or even just a controversial social issue) demonstration can land you in jail where you are beaten, tortured, and denied access to information, friends, family, or counsel; where owning a weapon marks you as a revolutionary to be executed; where foreigners are treated better than domestic citizens by the government because their countries actually care about them and may intervene if they are mistreated; I could go on.
I have a new definition for modern American liberalism. I like it.

My third and fourth sons grew up in Romania until their teeneage years. On our multiple trips there, you can still tell the generational difference in psychology. The younger people have hope, are more open and bright. The middleaged are reserved, manipulative; the older people still sullen, paranoid.
There are enormous exceptions to all of this, of course, but you can still feel a country beaten into submission 16 years later.
