This is the thing. If you ask a liberal if the haves should help the truly needy, he will say yes. If you ask a Catholic, he will say yes. If you ask a conservative, he will say yes.
So, the fact that you agree with liberals here and there does not mean you are a liberal, just as the fact that you agree with Protestants that God is Triune doesn’t make you a Protestant. It just means that the liberals have some good ideas mixed in with the bad ideas. The liberals want to be sure that the material needs of the poor are met; not a bad idea! One is reminded of Someone Who mentioned helping the poor!
But the liberals also think that abortion is all right (yes, yes, I know there are a few liberals out there who do not support ligalized abortion, but it’s on the Democrats" platform), and that is a *bad *idea.
When we pull apart pure liberal thinking, the reason is supports helping the poor is not the same reason that Christ wanted to help the poor. Thus, the fact that you or Christ or any reasonable person agrees with the liberals here or there does not mean that you or Christ or any reasonable person is liberal. The outward similarity of proposals is mere coincidence.
