#1 I don't see the issue other than people accepting the kidnapping of the language and the corruption of what 'liberal' circa mid 20th Century meant. For today's self labeled 'liberal' it is and will always be about POWER. It has nothing to do with principle. That's why terms 'shame' and 'hypocrisy' are alien to them. Can't apply if you have no principles beyond power.

#2 The POWER the liberal seeks is through Socialism. That is the foundation of their culture. Therefore, the Democratic Party can be renamed, the Socialist Party of America. The hiding behind children this week in the attempt to impose Socialist Health Care on the vast majority of America, shows they will use decadent methods. Why should morals get in the way of ABSOLUTE POWER? Therefore, all is fair in war against the present, system. Members of the Democratic Socialist Party of America in the name of multi-CULTURALISM are wanton in their own rights, homosexuality, illegal immigrant champions, anti-values Hollywood.

As the Dutch in the Netherlands are now going, along with the rest of Europe, God turns his back on such peoples, and allows them to slide into Socialism, a weakened class of people, ready for submission to the Lions of Islam. They have then realized that faced with life or death, POWER is not as important to them as they then put their lives ahead of all things and at all costs. Allowing themselves and even openly assisting the Islamite to carry a once great nation into the dark ages prodded along the way by terror when deemed necessary by Islam.

#5 liberalism has become old and stale. There are still those who champion liberty, but they no longer identify themselves as "liberals".

#6 The left are like old-style Tory imperialists, who believe rights are all very well for western Europe but not for Johnny Foreigner, and that the liberation of women is essentially for white-skinned women, not brown-skinned women, Cohen says.

A case in point is the treatment of Ayaan Hirsi Ali, the Somalia-born author of Infidel, who has received an astounding lack of support from liberals and the left. An article in Newsweek described her as a bomb-thrower, when it is Hirsi Ali who faces death threats from real bomb-throwers merely for speaking her mind and has had to rush back to the Netherlands because its government will no longer pay for her bodyguards while she is abroad.

KAPOWIE!

There are still those who champion liberty, but they no longer identify themselves as "liberals".

Well-said, UM8861!
