Liberalism is the philosophy of sniveling brats.
The modern liberal, though does not fit this description, just as the modern conservative does not fit its. The open-mindedness to new ideas claim for some reason often does not apply when the new idea or reform comes from a conservative. Nor are opposing political views of the liberal greeted with acceptance. Liberalism takes a very passive side to most moral issues. Certain criminal law, for example anti drug laws, are often questioned and disapproved of by the left.
