The Difference Between a Leftist, a Liberal, and a Neo-Con:

A Leftist will condemn water-boarding as torture and, on that basis, will refuse to participate in its use and advocate that the practice be abandoned once and for all.

A Liberal will condemn water-boarding as torture and on that basis advocate that the practice be abandoned once and for all--then look the other way while the practice continues and feel conflicted about the difficult decisions that must be made in the "real world."

The Neo-Con will not condemn water-boarding, will refuse to recognize it as torture, and will advocate its use in the difficult situations that occur in the "real world."

I am a Leftist, not a Liberal. And certainly not a Neo-Con.

No Liberal will bring authentic "real world" change to this country. For that, we need to build a viable Left.
