Illiberalism 

According to David Bernstein, John Kerry has stated that "if I saw someone burning the flag, I'd punch them in the mouth because I love the flag". And "Meanwhile, Wesley Clark joins Dick Gephardt in supporting a constitutional amendment banning flag-burning. "

Does anybody remember when liberalism involved the principled support of the freedom of expression; particularly unpopular expression?
