1919 reprint of work by Leonard Trelawny Hobhouse
“Ultraliberalism today translates into a whimpering isolationism in foreign policy, a mulish obstructionism in domestic policy, and a pusillanimous pussyfooting on the critical issue of law and order.”
“I didn't realize quite how liberal I was until I was asked to make passionate comedic choices as opposed to necessarily successful comedic choices.”
“But the liberal deviseth liberal things; and by liberal things shall he stand.”
“Liberalism rejects ideological struggle and stands for unprincipled peace, thus giving rise to a decadent, Philistine attitude.”
“I have yet to meet a liberal who can withstand the attrition of prolonged discussion of the inessentials.”
“I never thought I would see the day when America (which is based on the idea of liberty, from which the word Liberal comes) would become so self-centered and hypocritical. I mean if a democracy considers liberal to be a term of abuse, then we should be terrified. A liberal is someone who believes in liberty. And if it is wrong to be liberal, then the other side has to be fascist.”
