A hardcore Liberal is one that believes the following..
- 100% Pro-Choice, no matter what, through-out all 9 months of pregnancy.
- Pro-Gay everything
- Banning Guns and most weapons of all kinds
- Taxation of Churches, ending faith based [Christian] programs in Public Schools, Military, Prisons
- Higher Taxes for anyone middle class and above to pay for more social welfare programs
- More Affirmative Action programs, even in Politics.
- "Right Step" program with is simular to Affirmative Action, except it is for hiring/promoting openly LGBT folks
- Equal Rights for all (Except White men and Unborn children)
Anything I missed??

The way you have defined it, I don't think there are any "hardcore leftist- Liberals" anymore.

It sounds more like what you're trying to do is to strawman anyone who is not like you into supporting all those bizarre positions.

Jeez, I need to call the Hardcore Leftist-Liberal hotline, because they failed to mail me that manifesto.

Most people are generally more nuanced than you are implying here. For instance, I'm pro-choice, and I think the partial birth abortion ban was a bad idea. That's not because I like watching fetuses die. Rather, that particular procedure was used very rarely and primarily in cases where the health of the mother was in danger or the infant would die anyway. I don't believe that churches should be taxed, but I do believe in the separation of church and state. I'm a socialist, but I don't want to place more of the burden of taxes on the middle class. That's a Republican tactic. I think that those that have been blessed with wealth should pay back the society that got them to where they are now. I want gun control, but I don't believe in banning all guns. My uncle hunts, and I like my cops armed. I just don't think people need to be buying twenty semi-automatic weapons a month, particularly if they're convicts. I think men and women are equal, no matter their color or sexual orientation. No one's any better than anyone else, fundamentally. What else did I miss? Oh, pro-gay everything. I don't really have a problem with gay people. I suppose you want this to sound bad, but... I mean, I don't go around wearing all rainbow ribbons, hugging random gay people. That would be weird. But, yeah, they're just people. I'm as pro-gay as I am pro-straight, or pro-dressing up as Superman. I mean, hey, whatever you like, as long as it doesn't involve kids or pets or me having to hear about it unless there're drinks and I feel like a good gossip session.

According to you, I'm, I guess, fairly moderate? Which is funny, because I always thought I was one of the lefties. Heh.

Howard Dean, Nancy Pelosi, Cynthia McKinney, and the vocal minority of the Yahoo Answers crowd.

Obviously, if watched other news stations besides
Fox, you would know how incorrect your information is.
In fact, your 1st & last statements are just ridiculous.

Are you the typical hardcore conservative - mean to anyone who
doesn't agree with you? Geez!!

I think this agenda would pretty much wipe me out.

I'm still here so I guess the hardcore Liberal is a myth - whew!

TARD needs his own website. The guy is funny.

Your wrong about guns. If your a terrorist then you can have them. Equal rights unless your rich. Higher taxes only on the rich. You must be a proponent of double standards.

I have no doubt that there are many on this board. I've also known far to many elsewhere.

Your question is spurious, specious, mendacious, casuistic, apocryphal, opprobrious, scurrious, equivocal, vituperative, delusive, erroneous, fallacious, and false.
