It is also an inaccurate accessment of the differences between liberals and conservatives.
Conservatives don't believe in individual rights. Perfect example is their continual attacks against the rights of women. Another example is they have little problem with the government taking away their rights in support of security. Nor do they have a problem with trying to get between a citizen and their doctor. Nor do they have any problem trying to legislate what goes on in our private homes if it doesn't meet their christian sensibility.
Liberals are all for individual rights but they recognize that keeping our rights is tied to ensuring the rights and well being of everyone in this country.
