Being "liberal" is still generally considered a good thing. After all, the traditional definition of a liberal revolved around being tolerant, open-minded, generous and empathetic. There are very, very few Americans today who fit that definition, especially those who self-identify as "leftists."

Liberals today can better be defined as social justice warriors, as many "conspiracy theorists" have started referring to them as. SJWs are primarily concerned with controlling thought, speech, and behavior. They are interested in restricting rights and liberties, not defending or expanding them. They are authoritarian to the core, and more quick to turn to violence than the most alcoholic rednecks are in their prime. They love shouting and name-calling.

SJWs are responsible for decreeing that only black lives matter, and react to the logical rejoinder that all lives matter by calling it "racist." In recent years, we have been told that brown paper lunch bags are "racist." Now, it seems that flesh-colored band-aids are "racist," too. In the U.K., recently it was determined that correcting someone's grammar is actually "racist." Any criticism of Barack Obama, even references to him being angry, have been called "racist." I was chastised by an SJW on Facebook for citing the fraudulent nature of the official unemployment figures because to do so was being "racist."

The quintessential white liberal journalist, Maureen Dowd, reacted to charges that Obama is a chronic liar by writing, "Surrounded by middle-aged white guys — a sepia snapshot of the days when such pols ran Washington like their own men's club — Joe Wilson yelled 'You lie!' at a president who didn't. But, fair or not, what I heard was an unspoken word in the air: You lie, boy!" Donald Trump's campaign slogan "Make America great again" has been sarcastically interpreted as "Make America white again" by the SJWs.

To paraphrase the old saying about beauty, when everything is racist, nothing is. Sooner or later, someone is going to remember the story about the boy who cried wolf. We are fifty years into a myriad of civil rights laws, affirmative action, and widespread white guilt. Sooner or later, we have to have a level playing field. Reasonable people should want everyone to be treated fairly and equally under the law. There should be no preferences or favoritism. Period. Why can't our society try this simple concept?

Considering that all criticism of President Obama has been attributed to "racism" by the most devout disciples of political correctness, we can only imagine what criticism of a President Hillary Clinton would be attributed to. Hillary has shown no reluctance about shamefully exploiting the gender card. Expect allegations of "sexism" to become all the rage if she attains the highest office in the land.

This is what the modern "liberal" has become; responding to everything in a predictable, emotional manner. Assessing people and their motivations solely through the prism of mainstream media's politically correct bias. Shouting down dissent with screams of "racist," "sexist" and "homophobe." The average SJW is more religiously faithful to the corrupt, rotting state than the most die-hard, bible-thumping fundamentalist is to their own creed.

"Liberals" now never quote Voltaire's famous line about defending the right of those he disagreed with. There is no reason to believe the SJWs think those they disagree with have any rights. They expect unfettered conformity. They viciously attack "haters" with…pure hatred. They are stubbornly intolerant of the intolerant.

While researching Hidden History 2, I have been struck with how few liberals, in any era, were opposed to the various wars of their time. The leading "liberals" of their day were gung-ho for the Civil War, the Mexican-American War, WWI, WWII, the Korean War, the Iraq War, etc. Only the Vietnam War drew any real opposition from the Left, but even there many of the leading liberal politicians of the time supported the fiasco until it finally becomes untenable to do so.
