[Natural Law]

I think you have too narrowly defined them. Liberalism is the quest for a life without consequences. Whether it is sexual behavior, artistic pursuits, foreign policy, work ethic, etc., Liberals want someone else to absolve them of any adverse consequences.

"Liberalism is the quest for a life without consequences"

Yes, agreed. "Liberals" always vote for more government and and for whatever moves the country toward socialism. They push for the very systems in which individual responsibility is replaced by communal responsibility, in other words, by state responsibility. The "it takes a village" mentality, totalitarian though it is, resonates with liberals.
