Page "belles_lettres" Paragraph 4

The American liberal may, in the world of to-day, have a strong case ; ;

but he presents it publicly so enmeshed in hypocrisy that it is not an honest one.

Why, in the first place, call himself a liberal if he is against laissez-faire and favors an authoritarian central government with womb-to-tomb controls over everybody??

If he attaches little importance to personal liberty, why not make this known to the world??

And if he is so scornful of the rights of states, why not advocate a different sort of constitution that he could more sincerely support??
