Answer 1

Man if everyone who answered this question is a liberal then they are definately confused about their political philosophy. Some people need to research political philosophy and decide exactly where they stand. Modern liberalism would totally shun the philosophy these quotes are based on.

Answer 2

No, yet I do make up information for shits-n-giggles although. Does that count extensive form? Oddly sufficient, doing what I do for a residing, I rather much continually double verify my resource while i exploit a quote. purely 2 days in the past I mistakenly attributed "To sail previous the sundown and all the western stars" to my popular author Robert Anson Heinlein, while in fact he had borrowed that as a identify for his final novel from a Lord Tennyson Poem.

Answer 3

All except the Washington one you have up there- Here's another Washington quote that is decidedly liberal.

"If men are to be precluded from offering their sentiments on a matter which may involve the most serious and alrming consequences that can invite the consideration of mankind, reason is of no use to us; the freedom of speech may be taken away, and dumb and silent we may be led, like sheep to the slaughter."

Answer 4

To a degree, perhaps. But consider that liberals in general want MORE government rather than less (save the Libertarians), in order to legitemize their causes (read - ACLU, etc.)

Answer 5

All but the Washington one, that is taken out of context and loses it's meaning, and the last one.
