Conservative s are dead wrong about lots and lots of things, but liberals and conservatives tend to be wrong about different things. If somebody is talking about building a wall between Mexico and the USA or putting cancer patients in jail for smoking marijuana you can be pretty sure he is a conservative, but if somebody is obviously struggling to find lame excuses to defend the indefensible just because it's a minority screaming about a ancient injustice or demanding that free speech be curtailed on college campuses you can be pretty sure he's a liberal. > > You're as ill informed as those Hawiians.
