Liberalism comes with enlightenment
I found this in the comment section of Matthew Yglesias' blog and thought it was rather an interesting description.
"Liberals see the world as inclusive. Everyone deserves equal opportunity and access, including conservatives. There is a place for conservatives in the liberals’ world; however the opposite is not true for conservatives. Conservatives are exclusive. There is no place for liberals in the conservative world. Conservatives are seemly incapable of realizing that if everyone left of center disappeared the center would then be the left, and even now, if you are far enough to the right the center seems left to you.
A world with out liberals is a fascist state. I don’t know what you call a world without conservatives, since being conservative in outlook is the more natural state. Liberalism comes with enlightenment."
