    That's an extreme statement to make and I'm sure a total falsehood. EVERY liberal idea has led to total failure? Who is this guy?

    And Satan is the number 1 "liberal." :/

    Every time I read or hear someone use the word "liberal" these days, all I can think of is Inigo Montoya saying, "You keep using that word. I do not think you know what it means."

    Or inaccurately calling those perfectly intelligent people who happen to disagree with you mentally disordered?

    Hands down the best commentary on McNaughton's painting, and really a good reminder for everyone.

    >>McNaughton’s painting, of course, is a work of fantasy. Specifically, it is an example of perhaps the most common political fantasy in modern history: the fantasy of how wonderful the world would be if all of the people who disagreed with me ceased to exist....

    There is nothing particularly new or remarkable about McNaughton’s “Liberalism Is a Disease.” It is based, in fact, on what is perhaps the governing ideology of the modern era, which is that a well-functioning society can only be formed when people believe the correct things, and that, when people persist in believing incorrect things, the health of the body politic requires that they be dealt with.<<
