Surely this needs to be extended with the definition that a `liberal'
is someone winning an argument with a racist; it adds a certain
elegant symmetry.

anyone--including himself.

"If it works, don't fix it." The liberal says, "We should get a
new muffler put on it and maybe some tires." The revolutionary
goes over to the phone to call the scrap dealer and then puts a
down payment on a new electric vehicle.

No, a liberal is someone who insists that the government should
intervene and restrict argument-winning on grounds that violates
people's self-esteem and is clearly prejudicial to peoples whose
cultural and socioeconomic upbringing do not allow them to develop
competitive arguing skills.

I think David Frost said something like
"A liberal is someone who won't take his own side in an argument."
Anyone have it right or more certain?
