118. Are you just being argumentative for its own sake?
There are plenty of American conservatives ON RECORD as supporting the concept of torture, in the here and now, as pertains to the War on Terror, and they identify as conservatives. Their conservatism has a decidedly authoritarian bent, but this doesn't suddenly negate their being conservatives.

If you feel there are far-left authoritarians in the U.S., you're going to have to name them for me, because I don't know who you're talking about. We don't have any Stalins here, nor anybody remotely close. I am sincere in saying I do not understand what is meant by far-left liberalism. If it exists in this country I don't know where. I am also sincere when I say I don't understand what your 'color adjective' simile means. I suspect it is your habit to convey that your comment has great meaning (if only one has the intelligence to deconstruct it) without actually saying anything meaningful at all. You are trying to be sly without the cleverness.
