Liberalism is a religion.
<p>
Since liberals do not invest themselves heavily in traditional faith, they fill the spiritual void by adopting liberal agendas as their mantra.
<p>
A liberal reacts to challenges of their positions on political matters much like a conservative reacts to challenges to their religious faith.
<p>
The <a href=http://www.thelandofthefree.net/prinicplesofliberalism.html>principles of Liberalism </a> are:
<ul>
<li>Liberals are never wrong and their good intentions are never to be questioned.
<li>Not even incontrovertible evidence or common sense can supercede the precepts of the first law.
<li>The "poor" are only "poor" because a "rich" person has exploited them.
<li>All decisions made by people are equal and one should never question the decisions or actions of another unless that person disagrees with a liberal.  All opinions are equal reguardless of their validity and one should never question the opinions of anyone unless that person disagrees with a liberal.
<li>The way to solve any problem is to create a new government program.  This program should be administered by unelected bureaucrats and use a large sum of the funds designated to solve the problem to fund itself.
<li>In order to fund the new programs under the Fifth Law taxes will have to be raised, but only on those that can "afford" it.
<li>The "legacy" of any liberal will never be questioned or tampered with even if the concepts that make up that "legacy" are failing. 
<li>The "seriousness of the charge" is more important than the truthfulness of the charge when dealing with anyone that is not a liberal.
<li>Neither the "seriousness of the charge" nor the truthfulness of the charge is important when a liberal is accused of wrong doing.
<li>Any time a liberal is accused of doing something wrong or even proven to have done something wrong the Vast Right Wing Conspiracy shall be blamed.
</ul>

 Conservatism is anti-Liberalism.
