Sometimes it is better to be kind to someone who miss-spells words, even when they have a different political view seemingly than you. In this case the person could be a conservative alluding to "liberals", or an even more liberal person complaining about those who only claim to be liberal.
Dripping acid into the "stream" of conversation is one sure way to make it bitter to taste, no matter what the source. So be nice Andy, it costs nothing and may just bring the person out to where you can explore his motives. By friendly discourse you may be able to share the journey of life with another, and possibly make his trip easier with your friendly guidance. Unless you wish to wade down the stream alone? May the joy of love be with you, the Mother Earth support you, and may the Great Spirit lead you on your journey of life. And may the sweet honey of kindness sweeten your day.
