Liberalism, socialism, whatever, it is such a corrupting, destructive thing. And I believe it’s the most destructive force in the world today, outside of, militarized weaponry and that kind of thing Picture Quote #1

This is a hallmark trait of the left. There is never any effort to elevate anybody. Liberalism is all about tearing down. Liberalism is all about lowering. It is all about destroying ‘em Picture Quote #1

My main quarrel with liberalism is not that liberalism places great emphasis on individual rights - I believe rights are very important and need to be respected.

Nothing more guarantees the erosion of character than getting something for nothing. In the liberal welfare state, one develops an entitlement mentality. And the rhetoric of liberalism - labeling each new entitlement a ‘right reinforces this sense of entitlement.’ - Picture Quote #1

There was a time when liberalism was identified with anti-Communism. But the Vietnam War led liberals into the arms of the Left, which had been morally confused about Communism since its inception and had become essentially pacifist following the carnage of World War I Picture Quote #1
