What liberalism is all about.
Definition from my "Living Webster" Dictionary, since Webster 1913's definitions kinda suck on this matter:
liberal: ...not literal or strict, as a translation; tolerant or open-minded, esp. in religion or politics....a member of a reformist political party.
So DMan is incorrect about liberals being wrong to want reform; by definition, liberals are for reform. If they were to not want reform all of a sudden, they wouldn't be liberal any more.
This isn't to say he's wrong about reform. That's an opinion, and he's entitled to his. (I disagree, and think we can stop changing when we're dead, but that's my opinion)
The final logical problem with his argument is that he seems to think the Democrats in office now are liberals. Now that cracks me up. Democrats are no longer liberal. They are sitting in the multinational's pockets, with the Republicans and the mainstream press.
