Liberals seem to have very little regard for personal morality, but they cry buckets of tears for anyone deemed in need of ‘Social Justice’. The problem with this: my personal morality affects no one but me. Your ‘Social Justice’ requires my money and me to change. Is ‘Social Justice’ merely fascism in disguise?

If your "personal morality" really only affects you, then it is not the same thing as "social justice." Perhaps you should explain what you mean by "personal morality."

Liberals are unique in that they uphold social justice in addition to personal morality. You cannot be moral in any sense if you are only about yourself or the amount of money in your bank account. The Bible only mentions poverty and helping the poor 2000+ times. Interesting how conservative Christians have missed that.

I am liberal but i feel my personal morality is very high.
I feel that i conduct my life in an exemplary manner.
I feel my integrity and honesty in my life and relationships is very good (not perfect).
I do not expect you to part with your money to implement social justice. I do not expect you to change. I expect you to be willing to participate in reasoned action to improve the world. If that is by improving your personal financial position, raising your children well, not stealing etc. that is fine with me. Your personal morality affects me a lot. Like you won't be a hit and run driver, an uninsured motorist, you won't steal from me, you won't steal from wal-mart, you won't violate the law and drink & drive or speed (which could kill me or my loved ones).
your personal conduct affects me a lot. I appreciate your high morality.
