Many 'liberals' (using the term very loosely)

I don't like political labels, but most people would probably
call me a "liberal"; nevertheless, I haven't found liberals necessarily
less likely to belive in nonsense than conservatives.They
just gravitate toward different nonsense.

Well said.

Conservatives tend
to believe in Christianity, creationism, and to deny global
warming, while liberals are more likely to believe all manner
of New Age mumbo jumbo and lots of "alternative" medicine
quackery.

Liberal "progressives" were suckered for years by Marxism (some still
are), arguably a more absurd doctrine than ID.

When was that, the 1930's?

I haven't heard any non-communist politician (elected or not) quoting
Marx in my lifetime (That's almost 40 years), and I don't know of any
communists who've won a major election here.

They've learned to camouflage themselves.

Can you name an example of such a camouflaged communist and explain why
s/he is one?

I submit to you that many of the so-called 'liberal' agenda are
straight from Marxism.

So, that would be a "no", you cannot?
