Implication by omission is fraught with pitfalls of assumption.   Your assumption is that the only response that is not a cringe is agreement, but there are many levels of agreement and disagreement both. 

For simplification let me just say that if I want to say that all liberals think the government owns everyone I will come right out and say it explicitly.  I won't bother with an implication.

Fair enough. The omission denoted a negative connotation to me, I apologize for the assumption.
