The real liberals are the people who believe in personal liberty and not progressive-socialist-control of the people. The real liberals are the independent and Republican voters who will not be swayed by the rhetoric of the progressive-socialists of the Democrat Party. That is very righteous! Nicely said.

Hat tip to Tim: The Soldier and the Capitalist Arnold Kling How does the liberal elite view the American military? It seems to me that they view the military as a group of basically evil men, inclined to torture and commit war crimes. It would be better if we could do without a military, but they are ok as long as a good guy from the liberal elite is President, selecting their missions and controlling their excesses. How does the liberal elite view entrepreneurs and business leaders? It seems to me that they view capitalists as a group of basically evil men, inclined to exploit workers and rip off consumers. It would be better if we could do without capitalists, but they are ok as long as good guys from the liberal elite are in power, delegating tasks to markets only when appropriate and regulating capitalists to control their excesses... econlog.econlib.org
