Keenan, it seems that when we get to the end of your argument, that
you always end up at the same spot!

Which is...?

All the prior arguments, however
well presented, are trumped by this last, and they are not really the
issue, at least for you. You make noises like they are important, but
then you play your trump card. Like somehow we should be intimidated,
but in fact you are playing to our strength. You still haven't figured
it out!

I can't even figure out what that paragraph is supposed to mean.

As a liberal

Which is...?

you may not like the demographics of our country, but
until you can deal with them you will be relegated to increasing
insignificance.

I'm not even in your country.

The problem with that is we really do need your
perspective to stay relevant, so that the important issues of the
environment, and other social issues do not get lost in history.

The fact that George W got RE-elected shows that most of you are already
lost.

To keep from getting lost, you need a compass, and conservatives have
found that the compass of moral values works for them.

Everyone has moral values.

What you mean is simplistic mantras based in hate and fear. And yes, it
works, if you have the right audience.

Liberals seem
to be wandering around with no sense of direction. IMO that is why
folks did not vote for them!

Again, I don't know what you mean by "liberals" but yes, I can see that your
Democratic party, wihch is actually quite conservative in my view, doesn't
know what to do in face of the popularity of hate-based and fear-based
politics.

Personally, I would encourage you to know that those of us who live
down here in Jesusland, do not eat our liberal neighbors. In fact we
would encourage you to join us as so many others have. Jesus tells us
to love our neighbors and our enemies.

Jesus apparently tells y'all to do all sorts of things. I don't blame Jesus
for the Bush administration.

Now I do not consider you my
enemy, in fact, you are one of those warm, fuzzy, cuddily Canadians,
that are hard to hate.

Give me time.

So know that I love you in Jesus!!!

That's usually what y'all say before you light someone on fire or pull the
switch on the 'lectric chair.

That may
be harder to swallow than if you had drunk a Cernobyl Cocktail, a Love
Canal Float, a chopped old growth forest salad, a polluted Lake
Superior Soup, and a roadcut Rocky Mtn steak! But God Loves you, and I
Love you with Jesus' love!

And I forgive you for being a Liberal!

You should be aware that a Liberal in Canada means a member or supporter of
the Liberal party, which is really not very liberal at all.

Actually, I'd be really interested in knowing what "liberal" means to you.
