Here's the deal (and hopefully it'll be coherent). Anyone who understands human nature on it's most basic level will understand that humans have a vital need of freedom to choose, freedom of voluntary cooperation, freedom to maintain their own moral integrity. Think about those three things for a second. Any social scientist will tell you these are the most basic of human needs required to form a sustainable society, be it a society of two, or a society of 2 billion. And, not coincidentally, these are also the most basic of those inalienable (natural) rights that the Founding Fathers talked about in the Declaration of Independence, life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.
Directly stemming from the individual's right to choose, of voluntary cooperation, and moral integrity, comes the individual differences among us in things like talent, drive, work ethic, areas of interest, personal appeal, all those things celebrated as the individual, all those individuals and individual things working in voluntary cooperation with moral integrity that makes society one that flourishes.
Enter the liberal mind, where the vital roles of free choice, voluntary cooperation and moral integrity are utterly dismissed out of hand as being irrelevant. Enter a liberal political leader who says he embraces the individual differences among us with regard to personal drive, work ethic, personal appeal, individual interest, and then promptly wants to impose social and economic equality among us, for the good of the people, and thereby strip each and every one of us of our individuality. When it's a legislator who imposes these restrictions by way of over-taxing the citizens and over-regulating personal drive, work ethic, freedom of voluntary cooperation and the freedom to choose, then the freedom to think for oneself is diminished, thereby corrupting one's character, individuality is destroyed, and relegating the populace to nothing more than wards of the state.
This is human nature, and there's no getting around it. Whenever laws are made that go against these basics of human nature, laws that ignore the essential realities of the human condition, the individual is destroyed, and the society that they make up is destroyed right along with it.
The mind is a terrible thing to waste. If only liberals would be content merely to waste it. No, they want to utterly destroy it, by destroying everything that make it an individual mind. This, of course, comes from the liberal mind being one that simply hasn't grown up. Entitlement, indulgence, envy, these are the primitive claims of the infant, and of the infantile, and not coincidentally the claims of liberals.
Why would anyone want a political system that restricts personal freedom instead of enhancing it; denounces personal responsibility instead of promoting it; surrenders personal sovereignty instead of honoring it; attacks the philosophical foundations of liberty instead of defending them; encourages government dependency instead of self-reliance; and undermines the character of the people by making them wards of the state?
I don't have the answer to that question, other than perhaps there is some mental disorder involved, because any rational thinking individual mind would want nothing to do with it, but the the question is part and parcel of the liberal mind, because everything that liberals want to accomplish is right there in that question.
