I support freedom of speech. I am a pacifist. I support the environment. I oppose the death penalty. I believe Rick Santorum is a fascist. I want the world to be a better place. Is that enough for you?

Why is anti-religious liberalism so popular these days? Just to clarify, I am not conservative. I am a libertarian.

Because the actors are liberal.
Because Family Guys makes fun of many things.
Because most viewers of Sesame Street don't understand such things, and it adds some humor for those who reflect back and think about it.
Because they're kids.
Because it's very easy to make fun of the Catholic Church.

I have heard actors endorse both. Family guy attacks everyone, that's the point of family guy. Bert and Ernie, from Sesame Street, now that I have never heard. What do you mean by act gay? how does a gay person act? Never watched glee. Who the hell is Tinky Winky?

Republicans are the Liberal party with the capital L as they are economically liberal and conservative on everything else. Democrats are the "more liberal" of the two party tyranny but in reality they are centre-right to just plain right for the most part. Rocky Anderson was actually kicked out because he was "too liberal" to be a Democrat.

Abortions fucking everywhere? Yeah, it's not like half of the country isn't actively trying to ban it and thoroughly spit on their own legal and political system while they are at it.
No moral backbone? Are we speaking of the same America? You know...the America where a large part of the populace are so insanely devoted to their religion that they seem utterly unaware of the separation of Church and State and even the very existence of other religions?
Social programs? And here I thought our two unpaid wars, our financial bubbles and years of anti-mathematic budgets had done the trick already!

If sex were not mainstream, humans wouldn't be mainstream either. If people have no moral background, then why are they allowing other people to live freely (as exemplified by your comment about abortions). And America (in its history of an independent nation) has never exactly been known for its "moral backbone".

Supports freedom of speech, but bashes liberals for freely speaking about their ideology through the media.

1) Hollywood actors? Have you never heard of Jon Voight? Or the dozens of other Hollywood actors who are also republicans?
2) Family Guy attacks everyone with their tasteless jokes. When it comes to Family Guy and the sort, you're better off growing a thicker skin like the rest of us.
3) Bert and Ernie, sadly, were never officially declared gay by their creators. Start living in the real world, please.
4) Kids don't "act gay" on Barney. They are just kids. You really should stop watching those silly videos on Youtube. Yes, I saw them too...those videos that claimed Bugs Bunny and Barney were homosexual indoctrination.
5) Glee makes fun of a lot of stuff.
6) Tinky Winky, Mr. Falwell, is non-gendered and asexual, like every other character in that disgusting show. It carries a purse because it wants to, and that's it.

Seriously, if this is what you call proof of liberal bias, then I fear for your perception of reality.
