Kathy,
We don't know what killthecat's official political party affiliation is, but that is irrelevant ... he's simply a provocateur who leans heavily left. killthecat is not as mindlessly leftist as clo and the rest of her Further Freedom From Thought goofballs, but he is no Conservative or Classical Liberal.
