please don't just downvote without comment.
I downvoted because your proclaimed anti-liberal bias damages your credibility and is the mark of an immature arguer. Without going into your actual argument, you cripple your own credibility considerably by pasting a great big author-bias warning on it like that. If an argument will stand, it doesn't need its author pre-emptively saying that perceived opponents won't accept it because of their bias, and in the US today "liberal" and "conservative" have lost all meaning and become marks of lazy (non-)thinking and tribal attitudes. You can do better; you're just not trying.
