I think you're a retard and that this post should be deleted for wasting everyone's time.

It is, because liberalism is largely based off "feels" and emotional arguments rather than any actual study of human nature or facts. I.e. "It sucks being poor so lets give poor people welfare!"

Liberalism is a very broad term.

There's the original version of liberalism, the one that I (and some others) subscribe to. Classical liberalism believes that everything (well, almost everything) should be free from regulation.

The liberalism that you're probably alluding to might fall better under Political Correctness, and it's horrible.

Do you guys think the Neocons are really just people who grew up after WWII and still think the West needs to deal with issues like its 1939? It's just like that with 'Liberals' of today. Most of them grew up after the wave of social change (Civil Rights Movement, etc), and believe that they're fighting the same exact fight as MLK did in 1964.

They believe they're on the right side of history, no matter what, and it's encouraged a very dangerous kind of groupthink that snuffs out spirited debates.

I think on Reddit this will get down-voted.

I think you are a rodent.

I think you're being downvoted for offering up a conclusion instead of a whole argument.
