Jakearoo, of course, is correct, Democrats are not neccesarily liberals and Republicans are not neccesarily conservatives, and the sarcasm is not offensive. What I find offensive is the Democrats implying that they are "saving the world" by trashing gun rights and eliminating our right to teach our children personal responsibility. I see these two party platforms to be repugnant. If they gave up just those two, they would never lose another election in this country.
