so they could maintain their self-image as a "liberal".
Is a label really so important? Idk. I've never been one for labels. Yeah, free-speech, equality under the law, freedom of expression, all of that's great. I still hold to a lot of the same ideas and views I had when I was younger and I'm sure those who just have to call themselves liberal are the same way. But—and I know all of us here know this—standing idly by because you're a "liberal" and have the obligation to be an EnLiGhTeNeD cEnTrIsT doesn't do anything but let the leftists pull the rug out from under you. That'll happen and the world these "liberals" knew and loved will be gone and they will be crying out "how did this happen???" Or if not that then they'll be snarking from the gulags. Snark's about all they're good for.
I like their videos, but it's damned annoying people like Sitch and ShortFatOtaku continue on this middle-ground tack when they should know better. You don't even have to call yourself conservative if you don't want to. Just realize we don't have the luxury of standing in any sort of middle-ground anymore. Maybe we never did.
