Caution: The following contains generalizations.
I LIKE THE OLD LIBERALS
Old liberals used to be tolerant and respectful of others' views
New ones are elitist and distainful.
Old liberals used to practice what they preached
New ones have forgotten the message.
Old liberals made a positive difference
New ones spread hatred and discontentment.
Old liberals were about equality and justice
New ones are about special interest and situational ethics.
Old liberals were about consistency of principle
New ones are about the politics of convenience.
Old liberals had hopeful outlooks no matter what the odds
New ones have a negative worldview.
Old liberals used to believe in life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness
New ones promote and glorify death, egalitarian bondage and self-gratification.
Old liberals made a difference
New one's are destroying that legacy.
