I didn't coin the phrase but it still is true. "Liberalism is a mental disease". Honestly, I wouldn't go quite that far. Sometimes liberals see things in a way that can be helpful and I have learned things from them. HOWEVER! Leftism IS most definitely a disease. We are already in a war (cold) with those looney, America hating bastards. I guess I agree with it in the context that the USA while not perfect is a darned great place to live. I think many on the left want to create a utopia which is not achievable in this life. When you look at some of their stances it is nothing short of crazy and hypocritical. The have no problem with this country killing what a million babies a year but want don't want guns in the hands of you or me for protection or any other legal uses. They have no problem keeping millions on the public dole and invite in hundreds of thousands more illegals that will make their way over that way as well. While you and I tax payers keep working for the American dream paying our bills and raising families without asking for a handout. Too many times they scream racism to conservatives when their party is the one with the racist history. The double standards we see every day played out on the news. I'm just tired of their BS. When does it end?

Liberalism defends the following as normal or acceptable:
Dudes deciding they're women and having access to female bathrooms etc. DNA doesn't determine gender, your feelings do
Murdering babies in the womb for any reason is an act of benevolence in many cases
Believing socialism has only failed around the globe because the wrong people were in charge If gov involvement causes undesired results, more gov is needed to fix it Politicians know how to manage your money better than you do SS is doing just fine Protecting our borders is racist The Euro model leads to prosperity and should be copied despite admitting that they cannot protect themselves
Islam is a religion of peace Allowing people without vetting them from areas of conflict is the moral thing to do AWG is real and the science behind it us above questioning despite so many instances of studies being tainted to produce desired results Cuba has better healthcare than the US The same founders who had a distrust of gov and used firearms to gain independence believe the 2nd Amendment only applied to militias.
The US is the only nation who is held accountable for having slavery in its past Indians were peaceful and didn't war with each other before the white man came They accuse the right of being fascists even though they use fascist tactics to destroy anyone they see as evil They believe in separation of church and state, yet believe the gov should run social programs because that's what Jesus would do. So called moderate liberals will say they don't agree at all with many of the things in this list, yet they vote for people who promise to make all of it a reality
I could go on and on. There is only two things liberalism can teach you: 1-It never works 2-The easiest way for the US to take down an enemy would be to export liberalism to that country.
I think you are blurring the lines. Here is what I mean: With most people not able to find the distinction, maybe it's a moot point. Definitions have changed. Most leftists probably see themselves as liberal and/or progressive. Your specific points are not wrong. It's just a matter of semantics over what liberal and left mean.

Prime example: Rosanne Barr makes insensitive remarks and is immediately fired. Jussie Smollett commits a heinous felony and they can't get him back on the show fast enough. Well it seems Smollett finally lost his job. Wonder what took so long...

Well it seems Smollett finally lost his job. Wonder what took so long... Just wrote out of the last two episodes is what I'm understanding... I haven't seen anything saying he's been fired, yet. And since he works for the FOX network... I would be surprised if they did fire him until the verdict. It would be difficult to fire him until "proven" guilty and then have your News division rail about how other networks don't wait for all the facts before they react.

Yep...just written out of the final two episodes while the legal process plays out hosted.ap.org/article/1ab079e3da7b4fc59545685931593f76/smolletts-character-empire-end-seasonSmollett maintaining his innocence. His legal team issued a statement Thursday night, calling the actor a "man of impeccable character and integrity who fiercely and solemnly maintains his innocence." The statement called Johnson's news conference "an organized law enforcement spectacle." "The presumption of innocence, a bedrock in the search for justice, was trampled upon at the expense of Mr. Smollett," the statement read.

The upcoming Olympics is going to be a shit show as transgenders get to compete in their 'chosen' gender. Martina Navratilova is 100% right to criticize that but she is being ostracized by her own 'community'. Though I think that is still a small fraction of actual gays that are that militant.

We are already in a war (cold) with those looney, America hating bastards. I do think there is a huge difference between 'traditional' liberalism and the bastardized socialist/liberal/democrat politics of today. Dave Rubin calls it Classical Liberal which is more inline with libertarians but they've now so overshot the mark that modern conservative/republicans are more inline with libertarian ideals of small government and independent individuals. Even evangelicals have come to the realization that it is in their best interest to just push for limited government rather than a 'christian' one, better to be left alone to practice as you chose than have an overbearing government choosing who can practice what.

I think the eastern bloc is going to save us in the long run....who would have thought that in the 80's! They are the only ones yet to be over taken by the social justice causes and they see the folly of it in western Europe. This Olympics could get very interesting.....
