Still, I think most libs would agree that "300" probably does not support liberal values, and if you are a lib and you like it, the values being advanced are not the reason. Which is not like the conservaguy, who, if he likes something, feels like he has to make that "conservative" label fit. If anything, what you describe at LGM is more of what Spaghetti Lee was talking about, which is a lib "PC" police kinda thing. IE "you can't like that, precisely cuz it ISN'T liberal..."<br />On the shows you like, well, it sounds like they do support liberal values. And so you are not straining when you say they do. Some shows, movies, songs, books, etc actually ARE liberal, some are conservative. What I find to be weird is when conservatives insist that everything (not only all shows, movies, etc) but pretty much all things in general, have to be liberal or conservative, and even weirder when they insist that folks and stuff that clearly are NOT conservative (Lennon, Finnish school system) must be anyway, seemingly because they can't admit that anything that is good or effective is not conservative. Even when it is clearly liberal, or even beyond liberal, like Seeger.philadelphialawyernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5191252.post-64371952987697662462014-04-03T11:04:26.692-04:002014-04-03T11:04:26.692-04:00Well, Jaime Lannister is really a very uncomplicat...Well, Jaime Lannister is really a very uncomplicated, classic, Heel/face turn, isn't he? From the very first he clearly had some better impulses. I believe he didn't actually want to kill Bran by throwing him from the window. He did it, but he didn't enjoy it.

I think back to the <i>brouhaha</i> over the then-premier of Newfoundland and Labrador, flying to Miami for heart surgery that would have been available in another Canadian province. He wouldn't have been able to <i>jump the queue</i> in Canada just because he had money. (And if it had been genuinely essential to perform it in the US, Canadian Medicare might well have chipped in for it.)
