[So Cal Rocket]

I am a liberal because the idea of autonomy of the individual is a liberal idea.

This item was about 6th or 7th on your list... Yet the 5 or 6 items above it refer to state-sponsored initiatives that compel people to pay for something for someone else... I hardly call this autonomy of the individual

"I am a liberal because the Bill of Rights is a set of liberal ideas which protect us all. Freedom of speech, freedom of assembly, freedom of worship, freedom of the press, due process of law, freedom from torture, the right to face our accusers, the writ of habeas corpus, and freedom from unreasonable search and seizure are all liberal ideas. Most people in the world do not have those rights."


Did you notice that the Second Amendment, the one that more
than any other protects the "autonomy of the individual" is missing from his litany of kerap!
