- They certainly are. The United Marxist^H^H^H^H^H^H^HMethodist
- Church in particular is noted for being extremely liberal. Haven't
- they even ordained homosexuals as ministers? Not surprisingly,
- the UMC supports a wide variety of governmental power expansion

- Of course. You've just defined liberalism perfectly: no touch with
- reality, but full of good intentions.
