"liberals support changes that increase personal freedom and tolerance, and exercise the liberty to empower government to the extent necessary to achieve those ends."

Doublethink is insufficient to handle this. I need to go to triplethink.

When I start explaining government and power to liberal friends, the give me the same look that a dog gives when explaining nuclear physics to them. The start looking nervous and uncomfortable when I tell them that I don't want to be chained to the oars of the ship of government when Hillary wants to take her friends and political cronies water skiing. They really don't like it when I tell them that "liberal" was a term that FDR hijacked to mean "not quite as authoritarian as Hitler and Mussolini". A liberal is a socialist who isn't quite willing to get blood on his hands yet.

Great line.

Great line. I would add that liberals are more than willing to hire someone else to spill blood for their agenda (see: Abortion).

Excellent, it's a keeper.
