Liberals supposedly accept that others have different ideas and desires. Hardly what today's liberals are like. Today they embrace all ideas as long as they agree with them.

I don't think it's accurate to give a blanket characterization to all liberals--or all conservatives for that matter. I definitely consider myself in the former class of liberals, not the latter. An ability to compromise is a big part of my ideology. I think that these days compromise and diplomacy are lost arts on both sides.
