Classic Liberal Cowardice

1: I won't do the correct and difficult thing unless other people do so as well. (What? Take the moral high road and go it alone? Are you nuts?)

2: I'm happy to [give my money to the state / surrender some of my liberties to the state / etcetera] only if the state will coerce me to do so by way of mandate. (What? Take the moral high road and surrender my life of my own volition? Are you nuts?)

3: I live a morally defensible, liberal life; only if other people will do so as well. (I need the company of others to reassure and persuade me that I'm doing the right thing. My personality is not secure in the knowledge that I can do the right and difficult thing alone, when other people refuse to do so.)

Liberals are the best case against liberalism. Liberals talk the liberal talk, but they don't walk the liberal walk. Liberals never put their own skin in the game. They expect that others do the heavy lifting by demand that the state utilize its legal monopoly on the unlimited use of force to coerce everyone to adhere to their liberal mantra.

Abject cowardice. Abject failures.
