The RCC now has zero tolerance for child abuse. Well, except...

In principle, this could be is legitimate.For example, if someone says “I’m opposed to big government, abortion, and anti-christian bigotry, but I’m not a conservative.” I’ll probably say, “Bull, you hold nothing but conservative beliefs.”

But that’s not what Bricker is doing. He’s not providing any examples of liberal beliefs that Uzi holds except for this one, hence my claim his reasoning is circular. His line of reasoning is akin to “I think date-rape is really overstated and the law needs to distinguish between that and legitimate rape, but I’m not a conservative.” “Bull, only conservatives are so wrong about rape and only conservatives are so anti-woman, you must be a conservative.”

Just 'cos I like money wrenches in general.

Lets see:

Pro Abortion - Check
Atheist - Check
Pro Gay Marriage - Check
Pro Education (should be free until first degree or trade school completed) - Check
Pro support for those who need help between jobs or can’t physically or mentally work - Check
Pro drug legalization (all drugs, not just weed) - Check
Pro assisted suicide (for everyone for any reason - waiting period applies) - Check

So, why don’t I classify myself as a liberal? The difference being is that I’m also pro responsibility which seems to be sorely lacking for people on the left.
Do what you want, but take responsibility for foreseeable consequences. If you choose to use that education to take advanced flower arranging and can’t get a job, then it sucks to be you, but we shouldn’t have to support you indefinitely until you ‘find’ yourself. Inject battery acid into your veins for all I care, but if it affects your judgement then you better not get into a car and drive down the road. And if there is a new voting requirement then don’t expect the rest of the world to stop because you can’t figure out or arrange to get an ID within a two or four year period.
