No, in fact, they aren't. The fact that you don't like them because they aren't as extreme as you are does not mean that they're left-wing liberals. Your personal, subjective idiosyncrasies are yours alone, not a general condition.
Yes in fact they are. One can easily see the lost ground over the past fifty years, from 'No Fault Divorce' forward. On every moral front, on nearly every fiscal front - And in that, the loss of liberty always follows.
There has been, and is no opposition. That is the problem.
My personal subjective idiosyncrasies have nothing to do with it.
