Yes, but just what does the term “liberalism” really mean? I commonly means that government can spend your money better than you can, but it more broad than that. It is a license to depart from logics and facts to construct a city in the sky, a Camelot, where government decrees the forces of nature and defines human nature, where it is forbidden to have any unforeseen consequences, and where an idea is only evaluated on the basis of good intentions as opposed to effect or cost. Indeed, “cost” is a concept foreign to liberalism, because in Camelot, nothing costs anything. There are only “benefits”.
Thanks to internet forums like this one, and talk radio, more and more people are seeing liberalism for what it is- a frantic and futile attempt to be freed from reality. Indeed, the word “liberal” is now said far more often with a sneer and smirk (as in “$%&#@*# Liberal!), that liberals who used to be proud of the label now insist on being called “progressive”. Thankfully, after a few years the confusion between “liberalism” and being a “Classical Liberal” will go away.
Liberals are so desirous of being able to selectively detach from reality that it remains the last great unacknowledged mental disorder of the 21st century. These people must be dealt with firmly and quickly to marginalize them so they don’t hurt more people, destroy more wealth and put us in greater danger.

Does it hurt?" asked the Rabbit. "Sometimes," said the Skin Horse, for he was always truthful. "When you are Real you don't mind being hurt." "Does it happen all at once, like being wound up," he asked, "or bit by bit?" "It doesn't happen all at once," said the Skin Horse. "You become. It takes a long time. That's why it doesn't happen often to people who break easily, or have sharp edges, or who have to be carefully kept. Generally, by the time you are Real, most of your hair has been loved off, and your eyes drop out and you get loose in the joints and very shabby. But these things don't matter at all, because once you are Real you can't be ugly, except to people who don't understand."
Leftists live in such a coccooned world that being a real person is nearly impossible to grasp. Soldiers have a sense of being Real at a very young age.
