This is a liberal mantra; it should not come as a surprise to anyone.
Everyone else is evil, but I am good.
No one can have a gun, but I need one.
No one else can drive a vehicle, but I need the one I drive.
No one else can fly in a plane, but I need a personal jet.
No one else should reproduce, but I need to have kids.
Laws apply to everyone else, but not to me.
I am right, and everyone else is too stupid to understand me.
“The liberal mantra...”
Concise and to the point!
