Are there Liberal traits that you DON'T like?

144. Many. Where to start?

1) deference to academic authority, or
2) academic elitism
3) squeamishness about politics "we don't want to be like them"
4) blindness to our own forms of predjudice. "Those Duke lacrosse boys should be locked up forever!!!"
5) getting with the program. Once you've identified something as wrong, there's no longer a need to equivocate. Fundamentalist muslims attack women for seeking education? That's bullshit, cultural context be damned.
6) seeking offense for it's own sake. "Someone said the B word! Can you believe it? The B word!!! If I never hear the B word again, it'll be too soon! Misogynist sexist douchebags! No one should say the B word! I'm so outraged, I'm beside myself! The B word should be stricken from the english language!
Me? Well it's okay if I say it, because that's an entirely different context. I use it as a jawbone to beat only bad straw-men."
7) anthropomorphism. "Someone debarked a dog??? OMG! Hang the perpetrator!" I don't think it's too big a stretch to expect some of these people to picket abortion veterinary clinics... while eating a hamburger and wearing leather shoes, of course.

Edited to add

8) the fact that views like this are so viscerally distressing and offensive that they must be hidden.
