: That's certainly true. In your own special way you deem me incapable

Liberal - Free-thinking, tolerant of diversity, not bound by orthodoxy or cant.

Bigot - One who is unable to accept any view that differs from their own.

The phrase "liberal bigot" is thus autocontradictory. Could it be that "liberal" is the term you use to describe everything you don't agree with? In so doing, you place yourself close to the ranks of the bigoted...

From some of your previous posts, liberalism does appear to be your béte noire.

: "My ideological enemies are genocidal thugs who kill 40 million people
: a year. Care to have a rational debate?" Good one guys! Ad
: hominem is all there is sometimes.

In the Introduction to "The Eco Wars" (auth. David Day, publ. 1989), the author states;

"The true cost of the Eco Wars is upwards of forty million people a year."

Our global capitalist system is killing off more people every year both directly and indirectly (through nutrient leaching, logging, etc.) than died in the First and Second World Wars combined. Of course, since it's a gradual process, it's not as obvious, but it's still there.
