Liberal values refers to the value system commonly held by liberals, just as Professor values and Hollywood values do for professors and Hollywood respectively. Liberal values stand in stark opposition to conservative values and thus reject those things which conservatives hold to be dear and true. This includes, but is not limited to:
- Censorship of ideas not deemed politically correct. E.g., Liberal students protest or disrupt conservative guest speakers on college campuses. It can also be seen in the ridiculation and demonization of conservative media, such as Fox News.
- Denial of politically incorrect truths such as the link between abortion and breast cancer.
- Opposition to the free market, instead favoring heavy regulation.
- A desire for equal outcomes as opposed to equal opportunity. Liberals often propose or support programs that take from the wealthy to give those who didn't do enough effort.
- Excessive emphasis on awards and titles, especially those awarded by liberal institutions.
- To judge something immoral behavior is tantamount to being a bigot.
- Bigotry itself, an almost uniquely liberal trait.
- Confusing separation of church and state with atheism.
- A willingness to excuse any aggressive and irreverent behaviour in other countries, while harshly criticizing their own
- Strict materialism and an overreliance on narrowly defined "reality"
- Contempt for authorities
- Extreme pragmatism, to the point where even the lives of living human beings don't matter to them, such as in the liberal defense of abortion.
- The elimination of religion and moral teaching from public schools.
In general, liberal values tend to undermine traditional society, and in certain instances can cause irreparable harm to the lives of individuals who are brought under their sway.
