They'll let you know where they stand just like the Wolf will easily show you its teeth as though he's ready to attack and eat you. The liberal is like that of a fox. The fox appears harmless, unlike the Wolf and appears friendly you feel more comfortable around him. But when the fox knows that you're letting your guard down, that's when he attacks. The liberal will say the right things and tickle with words that you like to hear. Once you get comfortable the liberal will slip in racist epithets.
