This does sound like some form of bullshit, but I don't think it's because it's liberal, Bong. Many of the worst examples of bullshit come from the right, and while the left are Robin Hood-like thieves, they are much more the friends of stoners, gays, and social justice. Conservatives tend to, as polymirize said, hide behind family values and righteousness, when they really desire great harm to homosexuals, counterculture people, and minorities. But yeah, you're basically fucked either way. "Democratic" government needs serious re-evaluations, and by that I don't mean that dictatorships are better, I just mean that more direct rule by the people would be preferable.
