Why we continue to call these people "Liberals" is beyond me. They aren't about choice or freedom or anything of the sort.
What's ironic is that many of those who call themselves "liberal" are actually nothing more than extreme reactionaries who seek nothing less than to undo centuries of human achievement. They spread the myth that building onto the "towers" of past human achievement unduly confines the human spirit; that everyone should instead build their own towers from scratch. What they continuously ignore is that while climbing on and building onto other's achievements may limit one's lateral travels, it allows one to achieve great heights which no single person could possibly otherwise achieve. By contrast, those who would insist upon building everything from the ground up will often be hard-pressed to even achieve mediocrity.
