Reply #46: In general, I've found that most Americans are very narrow-minded,

and "liberals" are no exception.

For example, it was "liberals" that set up and administered the programs established in Johnson's "war on poverty" which guaranteed that the participants would be forever locked into the cycle of poverty. It was through their own built-in prejudices and inability to conceive of, let alone accept, lifestyles and cultures other than their own, that they ensured it's ultimate failure.

Their basic fallacy was that if there was a man in the house he could and would have the ability to support the family. While this was true for white, middle class, Americans, it was not so for those that didn't fit this profile. They simply dictated that it would be so for everybody, regardless of the facts, and effectively broke down the only support structure that existed for the lower classes, the nuclear and extended family. There are numerous examples of "liberals", as a group, being completely closed-minded throughout our history.
