Give him rights. Give him rights to decide with his wife wether or not to have an abortion, give him rights to decide who he can marry, give him rights so that the government can't spy on him without just cause, give him rights to worship or not to worship any religion he wants, and so forth. |
I am not a liberal, and I want to give him those rights too.
The problem I have with the current concept of liberal, is to go back to your example of giving my mother money for a hospital bill.
The way to equate the liberal idea of paying for her medical bill, is to break into a rich persons house, steal the money, and give it to my mother.
You want to "help" a group of people you don't know, but you want to do it at the expense of another group of people you don't know. I want to help everyone at the expense of no one.
All the rights you above mention don't take away from anyone else's rights. Most liberal programs however, do.
