IMHO, something like what you describe is going on, but it's a variant on the old dual loyalty charge. Israel is coded in liberal discourse as illiberal. If you're too Zionist, you're not a traitor to the USA; you're a bad liberal. I analyzed it here: https://t.co/T3VEfCQs7T => https://t.co/THlx0LV1w9— Mike (@Doranimated) May 23, 2018
Exactly right. But this same discourse insists that anyone who is a bad liberal ("illiberal") is betraying American values, since "America was founded on an idea, the idea of liberalism." This suggests that if you're a bad liberal, there's something not quite American about you. https://t.co/0UhMYoGPYU— Yoram Hazony (@yhazony) May 23, 2018
Conservatism and Liberalism have merged in Britain. https://t.co/PuultByaL1 "In the 1890s, it formed a coalition government with the Liberal Unionist Party, a break-away faction of the Liberal Party, and in 1912 the two merged to form the Conservative and Unionist Party."— Claire Khaw (@MinimumSt8) May 23, 2018

Was Napoleon a liberal, nationalist or an imperialist? Or was he all three? Nobody seems to know. https://t.co/NwlYTig6lZ Liberalism is just stuff Western governments do.— Claire Khaw (@MinimumSt8) May 23, 2018
If liberalism is just what Western governments do changing their minds as and when they thought expedient, why is liberalism their religion? Do we call all the mistakes we made in our lives our religion? What kind of dumb fuck retard and religion is this kind of shit? https://t.co/anGImdI4FY— Claire Khaw (@MinimumSt8) May 23, 2018
It is not like the West does not have a religion all raring to go already in situ. Post-Christians are always complaining about being exploited by Jews and invaded by Muslims. Christianity has clearly failed and Judaism is obviously too hard for them, but Islam is "Judaism Lite". https://t.co/kw9bA3OvTD— Claire Khaw (@MinimumSt8) May 23, 2018
Why don't Americans get themselves a proper religion instead of pretending liberalism whose principles they keep changing is their religion?— Claire Khaw (@MinimumSt8) May 23, 2018
Is there something morally defective in saying that your state religion is "the pursuit of happiness"? https://t.co/lKs2H6PEw9— Claire Khaw (@MinimumSt8) May 23, 2018
