Liberals actually believe the second paragraph of the Declaration of
Independence
is more than pretty words:

“We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they’re endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights. Among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness” — which is the ultimate good — “That to secure these rights governments are instituted among men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed.”

In a nutshell, a liberal is about life. You cannot have liberty or equality in your life without justice. Justice is perverted without truth and goodness. Life without beauty isn't much of a life at all.

Liberals support justice, liberty, equality, truth, goodness & beauty. Liberals have empathy, sympathy, compassion and value community. Liberals back those up with what they do and what they support and what they say. Liberals are for life. That comment sounds controversial for some on the other side. Not to me.

Mortimer J. Adler wrote "Six Great Ideas: Truth–Goodness–Beauty–Liberty–Equality–Justice" published in 1981. That's a deep dive into those six ideas. It's worth a read.
This fraud sexualizes children.

He defends granting sexual agency to kids.

It took a village to raise that idiot. 
 
"Because I SAY I am" is fallacy, not science

You cannot betray me - only yourself, to me.

Who cuts off your dick is not your friend

An opinion you won't defend is not yours. It's someone else's.

Humanity's Law of the Jungle: Survival NOT of the fittest, but of the tribe.

When peeing in the pool, stand on the edge.

Only religions declare heresy; only lies require protection.


If gender is not sex, why should a gender claim change what sex you shower with?

Same reason yours sounds like when defending ideas over being honest about why you exist in plain sight. Every character's brain knows how they mind living beyond their own time adapting as displaced and social consensus gives those denying life a means to eliminate anyone that won't agree to disagree about being alive today.

Live eviL Academia, arts, economics, political philosophies, spiritual psychologies, social consensus between people building better tomorrows noon to midnight punishing anyone not obeying rule of law dawn to dusk tomorrow. What is the end of the day since there is this 6 hour window of space time unaccounted for in real evolving situations?

Thing about relative time logistics, statistical averaged facts replaces yesterday being just one rotation before here.

Probably by choice, too.

They believe firmly in sexualizing other people's children, endowing them with sexual agency, and interfering with the custody of children whose parents object to them being gaslighted and granted sexual agency. 

They cheer for wars and proxy wars and other aggressions by the state. They support the establishment. They endorse censorship. They believe that democracy is feeble and must be rescued, that truth cannot stand if lies are allowed, and the state should be the arbiter of one's personal reality. 

They claim dominion over their neighbors' bodies, in the name of "public health." They believe people should have their rights decided based on the color of their skin. They believe in attainders of blood and corruption of blood. Whose ancestors were guilty of a thing, they believe, are themselves guilty of that thing, through their blood. 

They are precisely the opposite of a 1960s liberal - in each and every measure.
Right.   And that's how come I'm not voting democrat.
