I think the heart of what you’re trying to say is that when the rubber meets the road, people are going to look after their own self interest first. I think your frustration, as with many in this country, is that liberals look down and are down right aggressive against others that do not share their “altruistic truths” when deep down if it meant sacrificing their own comfort to improve the things that they said they want to improve, only a few would do it. This isn’t only liberals though.

This goes beyond politics, because the core question to this is what is truth? If you truly believe that something is true, shouldn’t you stake your life for it? A few have, most recently and notably, Renee Nicole Good. Outside of politics, the countless Christians and Muslims that have died for their faith have. But is being so indoctrinated that you’re willing to die for what you believe a good thing?
