Liberals love the IDEA of children—but not always the reality. They love the IDEA of freedom, but often find the reality of it quite intimidating. They are not unlike the Scribes and Pharisees: they loved the IDEA of God—but not so much His Reality.
Fortunately, (and not just for liberals), despite their self-righteous indignation at having the validity of their Idea questioned, and their insistence on preserving that Idea even to the point of destroying the flesh and blood which embodied it, that Reality’s response in the end was to offer up a prayer for forgiveness.
Now that is real—and LIBERAL—love!
Well, yes. Freedom is freedom for everyone and that means that liberals have to put up with someone else's idea of how to exercise their freedom.
