The reason 'liberals'

The reason that "liberals" lie so easily to you and me is that they lie so readily and constantly to themselves.

Gentle Reader may recall that I had described a "liberal" (female) co-worker's reaction to using the very same logic by which "liberals" intend to eviscerate the Second Amendment to argue for a non-liberal position.

Now, keep in mind, she had trotted out the standard "liberal" talking points -- you know which I mean, I don't really need to repeat any of them here: "We don't want to take away anyone's guns", "We don't want to trample anyone's rights"; "We just want some *reasonable* restrictions on guns".

Yet, the other day, when I asked a (male) co-worker whether he knew anything about this incident, of which I had seen only a headline, she expressed the opinion that there was problem at all with it -- she explicitly said it sounded reasonable to her. And well, after all, even aside from the scary picture of a gun involved, it is merely a man-and-father being trampled upon by "law enforcement".
