It is difficult to define a whole school of political ideology precisely, but one may reasonably define liberalism (as opposed to conservatism) in the contemporary United States as the genuine concern for the welfare of genetically unrelated others and the willingness to contribute larger proportions of private resources for the welfare of such others. In the modern political and economic context, this willingness usually translates into paying higher proportions of individual incomes in taxes toward the government and its social welfare programs. Liberals usually support such social welfare programs and higher taxes to finance them, and conservatives usually oppose them.
Defined as such, liberalism is evolutionarily novel. Humans are evolutionarily designed to be altruistic toward their genetic kin, their friends and allies, and members of their deme (a group of intermarrying individuals) or ethnic group. They are not designed to be altruistic toward an indefinite number of complete strangers whom they are not likely ever to meet or interact with. This is largely because our ancestors lived in a small band of 50-150 genetically related individuals, and large cities and nations with thousands and millions of people are themselves evolutionarily novel...
Incidentally, this finding substantiates one of the persistent complaints among conservatives. Conservatives often complain that liberals control the media or the show business or the academia or some other social institutions. The Hypothesis explains why conservatives are correct in their complaints. Liberals do control the media, or the show business, or the academia, among other institutions, because, apart from a few areas in life (such as business) where countervailing circumstances may prevail, liberals control all institutions. They control the institutions because liberals are on average more intelligent than conservatives and thus they are more likely to attain the highest status in any area of (evolutionarily novel) modern life.

Liberalism is a Mental Disease ping .....
Liberals are the most hate-filled, mean-spirited, violent, ignorant, stupid, retarded, childish, disgusting, dirty, filthy, perverted, child-molesting, murdering, idiots created.
Idiocracy was the best movie ever made about liberalism.
Idiocracy nailed it so perfectly that liberals demanded it be removed from the theaters, literally. It was taken from the theaters only days after it was released. It nailed every single aspect of liberalism and pissed off the liberals so damned bad they censored it.
Liberals are all about book burning.
I wondered why I never heard of Idiocracy when it was in the theaters. It found an audience on home video and when it is brought out, usually people have not already seen it (but they enjoy it a lot).
I don't accept that definition.
Liberals aren't "willing to contribute", they want others to pay by force.
It figures that there’s no way for people to comment on the article. How “liberal”!
I love the quote that since liberals control institutions, it must be that liberals are more intelligent! So much for science! It couldn’t be that they control institutions because they are more fascist and intolerant compared to conservatives, and therefore had no problem chasing out and keeping out competing viewpoints!

The most significant mental error in the article is the definition of liberalism. To fix the error, just discard the idea that liberals are “caring” and replace it with the description of the character of Judas in John 12:5-6.
This passage describes the true character of liberalism.
Let’s review what liberals believe.
Two mentally ill, perverted men messing with each other’s filthy anal area, and ingesting feces, is “love” and “marriage”.
God is whatever you want Him to be, or preferably, nothing at all. He may be a woman, a tree, a rock, whatever. Any of that is fine. Mention Jesus, though, and the leftists will shriek like the scalded vampires they are.
Liberals believe that all cultures are equal, despite the undeniable fact that Muslims are nothing but savage beasts, members of a bloodthirsty, insane death cult.
They think that blacks should be able to get away with everything because of their skin color. This is primarily because liberals, being pathetic examples of human beings, are eaten up with guilt over being white. If they could shed their skin, they would. Since they can’t, the best they can do is slobber and squeal over black criminals, all the while thinking, “They know I’m one of the good whites! They LOVE me!”
Liberals, intelligent? You are all nothing but morally bankrupt, stupid, suicidal fools, and your elitism and belief that you’re superior only adds to the contempt normal people have for you.
Amendment I
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances. As for the liberals claim that this country was founded to flee from religion, read the Mayflower Compact.
It begins "IN the name of God, Amen."
But, liberals don't like history, so the foundations of our country are not taught as it goes against the liberal narrative.
Denigrating and trying to rewrite our history to agree with a narrative is STUPID.
Undead Ping to mockery target.
He’s not UT material, but he is worth laughing at.
I have met too many liberals with “advanced degrees” in useless crap that can’t do simple things like plug in a toaster.
If “Intelligence” is defined by how much indoctination clap trap they can regurgitate on command, then yeah, you got me the liberals are more “Intelligent”....
However Intelligence in the classical sense as in problem solving and cleverness, will elude the indoctrinated libtard masses.
I loved her in that role! Loved the show, too.
“It is difficult to define a whole school of political ideology precisely, but one may reasonably define liberalism (as opposed to conservatism) in the contemporary United States as the genuine concern for the welfare of genetically unrelated others and the willingness to contribute larger proportions of private resources for the welfare of such others.”
Allow me to translate:
“Liberalism is the condition where in people are active on behalf of people they don’t care about in order to control people they either hate, or that oppose them.”
I don't let them do that.
Let them fear conservatives for a while.
Volunteering shoe leather, phone time, and ca$h for conservatives like Cruz scares the liberals in both parties.
