No need to gush, Stanley. Frank’s comment is a clever turn of words but
meaningless, in that I was not debating anything or offering any kind
of argument. I merely made an observation, based on my experience, as
others have done in this thread. Of course, my words inflamed all the
lefties, but that was expected. No straw men here, other than Frank’s
diversion.

Interesting how political terminology can vary between countries.
Here 'Liberal' means the absolute opposite to the definition of
the term
in North America. Our 'Liberals' are the conservatives; Labor (no
'u")
are the (somewhat) leftish group.
What are called liberals everywhere else assumes that a minimum of
government is sufficient to insure liberty.

What are called liberals in the US assumes that sometimes
something more is required, that simply “leaving people alone” doesn’t
necessarily guarantee their freedom. Totally private healthcare vs. the
assumption that no one—children of poor parents, e.g.—should be denied
healthcare because they can’t pay for it. At least as good a sense of
“liberal” as the other use is an imperfect sense.
