The liberals' Achilles heel

To be a liberal is one thing and to "want" to be liberal is another. These are not two people but instead two different forces within the same person. While the former in general goes beyond conventional boundaries, it has and knows its boundaries. The latter force incessantly wants to be liberal and is continuously challenging the person to go beyond and accept things. It does not want to listen to the cautioning voice of the former force and ends up roughshoding the former. It is always on a slippery slope. It might easily take the person on a ego trip and/or easily allow the person to be taken for a ride by others. Caveat liberal, the second force is thy achilles heel!!
