Your correct appraisal of 'Liberalism'..
Reader comment on item: [The Abu Ali Case and] Balancing Liberties, Security

Submitted by Nitsuard (United States), Mar 2, 2005 at 14:12

Dear Daniel -- Let me share with you and your bloggers the following quotation from Dr. Michael Savage, a relatively new and popular CA Talk Show host. His statement is as follows, with my own clarification, for emphasis, in parenthesis:

"Liberalism is a mental disease". (It does not subordinate the intellect, but simply 'high-jacks' the conclusions.)

I hope the elaboration places a little emphasis upon the subject. Use it if you wish, as often as you find it appropriate....... Nitsuard.
