Liberalism, above all, means emancipation — emancipation from one’s fears, his inadequacies, from prejudice, from discrimination… from poverty.
~~~~~~~
Liberalism, austere in political trifles, has learned ever more artfully to unite a constant protest against the government with a constant submission to it.
~~~~~~~
Liberals are very broadminded: they are always willing to give careful consideration to both sides of the same side.
~~~~~~~
Liberals attempt through judicial activism what they cannot win at the ballot box.
~~~~~~~
Liberals claim to want to give a hearing to other views, but then are shocked and offended to discover that there are other views
~~~~~~~
Liberals have a preternatural gift for striking a position on the side of treason. You could be talking about Scrabble and they would instantly leap to the anti-American position. Everyone says liberals love America, too. No they don’t. Whenever the nation is under attack, from within or without, liberals side with the enemy. This is their essence. The left’s obsession with the crimes of the West and their Rousseauian respect for Third World savages all flow from this subversive goal. If anyone has the gaucherie to point out the left’s nearly unblemished record of rooting against America, liberals turn around and scream, ‘McCarthyism!’
~~~~~~~
Liberals, it has been said, are generous with other peoples” money, except when it comes to questions of national survival when they prefer to be generous with other people”s freedom and security
~~~~~~~
McCarthyism’ means pointing out positions taken by liberals that are unpopular with the American people. As former president Bush said, ‘Liberals do not like me talking about liberals.’ The reason they sob about the dark night of fascism under McCarthy is to prevent Americans from ever noticing that liberals consistently attack their own country.
~~~~~~~
My objection to Liberalism is this — that it is the introduction into the practical business of life of the highest kind – namely, politics – of philosophical ideas instead of political principles
~~~~~~~
Somebody came along and said ‘liberal’ means ‘soft on crime, soft on drugs, soft on Communism, soft on defense, and we’re gonna tax you back to the Stone Age because people shouldn’t have to go to work if they don’t want to.’ And instead of saying, ‘Well, excuse me, you right-wing, reactionary, xenophobic, homophobic, anti-education, anti-choice, pro-gun, Leave it to Beaver trip back to the ’50s,’ we cowered in the corner and said, ‘Please don’t hurt me.’
~~~~~~~
The American people will never knowingly adopt Socialism, but under the name of liberalism, they will adopt every fragment of the Socialist program until one day America will be a Socialist nation without ever knowing how it happened.
~~~~~~~
The label of liberalism is hardly a sentence to public ignominy: otherwise Bruce Springsteen would still be rehabilitating used Cadillacs in Asbury Park and Jane Fonda, for all we know, would be just another overweight housewife.
~~~~~~~
The liberal holds that he is true to the republic when he is true to himself. (It may not be as cozy an attitude as it sounds.) He greets with enthusiasm the fact of the journey, as a dog greets a man’s invitation to take a walk. And he acts in the dog’s way too, swinging wide, racing ahead, doubling back, covering many miles of territory that the man never traverses, all in the spirit of inquiry and the zest for truth. He leaves a crazy trail, but he ranges far beyond the genteel old party he walks with and he is usually in a better position to discover a skunk.
~~~~~~~
The Liberal State is a mask behind which there is no face; it is a scaffolding behind which there is no building.
~~~~~~~
The liberals can understand everything but people who don’t understand them.
~~~~~~~
The principle feature of American liberalism is sanctimoniousness. By loudly denouncing all bad things — war and hunger and date rape — liberals testify to their own terrific goodness. More important, they promote themselves to membership in a self-selecting elite of those who care deeply about such things. It’s a kind of natural aristocracy, and the wonderful thing about this aristocracy is that you don’t have to be brave, smart, strong or even lucky to join it, you just have to be liberal.
~~~~~~~
There is more to American politics than fat cats and their political friends. There are serious-minded liberals who fight the good fight on many issues, ecologically oriented politicians who remain true to their cause, and honest people of every political stripe who are not beholden to any wealthy people. But there are not enough of them, and they are often worn down by the constant pressure from lobbyists, lawyers and conventional politicians.
~~~~~~~
Ultraliberalism today translates into a whimpering isolationism in foreign policy, a mulish obstructionism in domestic policy, and a pusillanimous pussyfooting on the critical issue of law and order
~~~~~~~
Until you can intelligently articulate the other side’s position, you are not an adult. You are a liberal.
~~~~~~~
We who are liberal and progressive know that the poor are our equals in every sense except that of being equal to us.
