The meaning of being a liberal has morphed over time. Liberalism once valued the freedom of individuals — including the freedom of religion, speech, press, assembly, and markets, and limited government, drawing on the economic writings of Adam Smith.
Today's liberals have an insatiable desire to grow government.
Taking responsibility for one's actions is becoming less popular, which is at the root of the decline in conservative support. Expecting government to solve all problems is very popular, and destructive. It leads inevitably to disappointment.
Socialism, (definition: government ownership and control), is the new liberalism. Instead of listening to their incessant promises, we should simply ask where their policies have worked. Greece? Cuba? Argentina? Russia? Churchill was right, anyone over 30 who is a liberal has no brains.
Liberals do not like to deal with facts, especially when the truth hits too close for comfort. That’s why the liberals are so good at euphemistic synonyms, like “family planning” instead of “abortion”, the “Affordable Care Act” (anything but…) instead of “Obamacare”, “climate change” instead of “global warming” and the grand-daddy of them all “progressive” instead of “liberal”.
It is clear that liberals have been successful in infecting many good, decent, well-meaning people with their at times overwhelming innate and inbred sense of “guilt”.
Leave it to liberals to feel guilty about anything whether it be climate, fossil fuels, poverty, the global economy, anything Republicans or Conservatives advocate, heterosexual marriage, non-pre K education, charter schools (NYC liberal Mayor de Blasio comes to mind), cars that burn gasoline, women who could buy their own birth control, but won’t, health insurance, slavery 5,000 years ago in Egypt, and on and on and on!
