2007 comment
I reverted an attempt to reframe the beliefs of cultural liberals in the terms used in conservative propaganda. For example, the edit stated that liberals believe: "that government should impose requirements on the public to accept all lifestyles regardless of personal sensibilities". No liberal I know believes this, and no reference is offered for the claim that liberals believe this. Sincere people, who listen only to conservative sources, attribute to liberals beliefs that liberals seldom if ever hold. Rick Norwood 13:30, 19 August 2007 (UTC)
This article should be bigger and so. I think there are many cultural liberals out there that wants to have more information abou their ideology. --212.247.27.193 21:50, 21 August 2007 (UTC)
- In my experience, most cultural liberals are well informed about their ideology, and their anger at the lies told about them is as strong as the anger toward them of the conservatives who believe the lies. Rick Norwood 12:26, 22 August 2007 (UTC)
This article links to the liberalism article that talks about liberalism as a philosophical stream, rather than the American-centric interpretation of the word 'liberal' that means 'left wing' or to speak more generally, 'Democrat'. However, this article seems to use the word in the latter interpretation. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 129.96.234.145 (talk) 07:17, 6 September 2007 (UTC)
- Cultural liberalism is a world wide movement.
- A cultural liberal favors individual freedom, a leftist favors socialism or communism, and a Democrat, as we now discover to our sorrow, favors anything that will get them elected. Rick Norwood 17:36, 6 September 2007 (UTC)
I decided to add "cultural" to the phrase "American conservative" so as to avoid any potential for unclear meaning in the phrase. Perhaps a little redundant, but it makes me feel better about the stub overall.DettwylerZ 07:21, 5 November 2007 (UTC)
Kernohan reference
Exactly why is Mr. Kernohan being cited here?
If he is being cited as a "cultural liberal" himself, I submit that one look at his book reveals him to be a cultural Marxist masquerading as a liberal.
If he is being cited to provide a definition of "cultural liberalism," I submit that by virtue of the above, it is an attempt at framing this definition, similar to the right-wing attempts reported on this page. 206.196.48.98 (talk) 21:09, 22 January 2008 (UTC)
