Cartoonish? Social conservatives really aren't trying trying to get murdering homosexuals legalized. It's a cartoon that liberals think such a thing, and although we have someone pretending to be such a cartoon in our midst, I believe that's liberal "macho flash".

The solipsistic first person experience of wanting may be relevant for lots of things, but politics is about the interaction of people, so the second and third person perspectives are what's relevant - the political problem is about what to do about what others want and do.

the political problem is about what to do about what others want and do.

Again, isn't the problem of liberals wondering what to do about what conservatives want to do (sorry for the long sentence!) equivalent to conservatives wondering what to do about what liberals want to do?
