That hasn't been my experience.
Liberals don't like to explain their reasoning. I've concluded that it's because there either isn't much reasoning there *OR* it is rooted in something they are embarrassed to admit. Like this:
"I'm lazy, irresponsible and greedy, and I have no problem with theft in order to get what I want."
Now that's sound liberal reasoning. We all know it's what drives most of their policies, but liberals will hardly ever come out and say it.
