Liberals

It's facile, to say the least, to point to liberals appending "asterisks" to their viewpoints as some sort of indictment of liberalism or of the Democratic Party. I could as easily say that they do this because they have thought more deeply about their views and are more able to define them- that liberals are more cautious and precise in their statements. Oh gee wiz, that sounds positive, even though it's the *same thing*.

But I won't say that, because I don't know if that's true. This is all just based on your perception of what liberals and conservatives say, and how they behave. It seems to me to be quite a bit more about what you *want* to believe, than what actually is.
