Comment HITN flamebait? (Score 2, Insightful) 468
Today, though, the vast majority of "liberals" are just sheep buying into a certain collection of ideas that certain people deem "liberal."
With flamebait lines like that, I don't know how you got a +5 insightful.
As far as one-dimensional thinking goes, yes, everybody knows the liberal-conservative axis is just a loose approximation. Assigning the left-center-right label is sort of like PCA. I read liberal blogs often and I note plenty of eclecticism among liberals; they're not sheep. For instance, all last summer and fall there was tremendous kerfuffle about the scope, shape and size of health care reform. There was lots of disagreement among liberals. So, you are mistaken.
Indeed, the vast majority of judgments about "the vast majority" are bullshit.
