"Liberalism is attractive because it appeals to a surface emotional response. . . .: Peace, equality, justice, etc."

Yeah, there's simple superficiality for you.

Lots of American conservatives want to post the 10 Commandments in public buildings. That's simple too. Simple legalism.

The next time someone derides Liberal attacks on Christianity (usually the way attacks on establishment of the majority religion are interpreted on the Right), perhaps you will step in to point out that the Liberal agenda can be summed up (soundbites being shorthand) by the Christian high principles you just mentioned, though Liberalism eschews the accompanying theology, as belief is a personal matter.

Blessed are the peacemakers: a phrase uttered nearly a millennium before the invention of the firearm of the same name.

PS-- If toothpaste tubes are a real analogy for your approach to reason, you have mistaken being logical for being anally systematic.
