"He's a standard lib who wants the political bourgeoisie to live by one standard and impose another standard on the rest of us."

I don't know anyone like that personally.

I do, however, know people who claim to be small-government conservatives but want the gov't regulating sexual matters between adults and who tell liberals to shut their pieholes (or to love it or leave it), to name just two little self-contradictions.

"Example??"

Homosexuality. Gay marriage.

Now be careful. I'm not broad-brushing. I'm saying I actually know people like this. (I've also read comments by people here that fall into this category.) I'm trying to burn someone else's broad brush. : )

"Very broad and non-linear. "

Huh? No, I made a specific point about specific people. Not broad, and I don't even know what you mean by "non-linear" here.

"you are creating facts out of thin air to support your absurd claim"

No, I'm not. I don't do that. Why would you assume that I'm a liar? I didn't say that all conservatives are like this or even a large percentage. I was very careful with my language. I'm contesting with my experience a stupidly broad-brush assertion by someone else. I have never met a liberal "who wants the political bourgeoisie to live by one standard and impose another standard on the rest of us." Therefore, Mr. Kelly's behavior is not indicative "standard lib" status. The rest was partly in jest, but also pointing out something important--that there are hypocrites among self-proclaimed conservatives too.

I work hard not to paint with a broad brush.

"Mr. Kelly is part of the political elite and liberal bourgeoisie who feels entitled to live by one standard while imposing a far different standard on the rest of the population."

At least you're pointing to politicians (seemingly) rather than rank and file citizens who happen to be liberal. I still don't know how you'd know that. I also think it's dependent on a concept on which we probably disagree.

"But it's fun and so easy.:-)"

Indeed. That's why it's hard work to not do it. : )~

"But...Snopes gets their info from the DR!"

And the "state-run media," of course.
