THOUGHT POLICE - New York Post
I think the best evaluation of liberal hypocrisy is to evaluate what they do, as opposed to what they say.
A person's actions are the true measure of their character and integrity.
A person's words are, well, just words. Anyone can SAY anything...

In the New York Post, Ralph Peters conveys his thoughts after a recent experience:
"Think about it: For expressing my views to readers like you on these pages, hardcore leftists believe I should be put on trial as a war criminal.
It tells you all you need to know about the extreme left's view of the First Amendment: Free speech is great, as long as it's their free speech (or extreme pornography). But dissenting views must be censored. The more effective the opponent, the more important it is to shut him down.
The extreme left loves to pretend it stands for freedom. It never has and never will. From the Reign of Terror in Paris onward, its core agenda has been the tyranny of egomaniacal intellectuals. The hard left hates an open debate - especially these days, when it's out of new ideas."
