So your definition of liberal is any law that changes something?

Pretty damn broad

A lot of those are questionable at best. That said, the topic is "Do liberals bring any value to society" ..not did liberals bring any value to society.

Conservatives now are more in line with classic liberalism. Liberals now are more in line with Marxist chumps.

You do know that they generally feel the same way about Conservatives, right? Those of us who aren't on either side think that you're all crazy.

They bring white guilt and the attendant dysfunction. And sanctimony. That's about it.

This was true 30 years ago. Not today's liberals. That was a classical liberal thing. Today's progressives don't have a lick of talent they are useless miserable human beings.

There is a difference in a classic liberal and a progressive. Progressives are the types that want gray soviet block apartments and no cultural identity. Just look how they oppose any sort of culture because it offends some group.
