The dictionary definition of liberal is generous. The corral of "liberal" has been defined
by the wrong people, (the Wrong Wing).

Liberals by in large do not support Saudi Arabia's dictatorship. They believe that a
humanitarian view of the world is better than an authoritarian one. They are less
pessimistic about how mankind behaves.

A liberal believes as does a Libertarian in personal freedom but doesn't see it as
a decision made by an individual to the elimination of government and the public sector.

Ayn Rand is the John Wayne school of social philosophy. Ready, shoot, aim. Or
as Colbert says, "I got mine, Jack!"

A liberal believes that in order to effect social change toward humanitarian values,
we have to work together and protect the interests of those who are being oppressed
by society as in the breaking up of unions that protect working people who are not billionaires.

Liberals like reason, logic and tend to get wonkish because they don't understand that
the arguments of the Wrong Wing are not based on logic or reason, but a cultish philosophy that doesn't allow for idea outside of their ideological prison.

The paradox is defined not by liberals but by others who tend to be Wrong Wingish.

I support Kendall's view of relating to people with different points of view.
