This is some good stuff:
Liberals don't believe anything. To be able to believe in something you have to think. Liberals don't think they FEEL.

My theory of liberals is that a liberal is a person who lacks the gene required for humans to be able to mentally process reality.

The theory will remain a theory pending the identification of the gene. However, much evidence of the theory's premise exists by examining the conclusions reached by liberal logic.

Let me share some observations I’ve gathered from Free Republic post.

Is it the liberal or the conservative who believes you can bring about prosperity by discouraging thrift?
Is it the liberal or the conservative who believes you can help small men by tearing down big men?
Is it the liberal or the conservative who believes you can strengthen the weak by weakening the strong?
Is it the liberal or the conservative who believes you can lift the wage earner by pulling down the wage payer?
Is it the liberal or the conservative who believes you can help the poor man by destroying the rich?
Is it the liberal or the conservative who believes you can further the brotherhood of man by inciting class hatred?
Is it the liberal or the conservative who believes you can build character and courage by taking away men's initiative and independence?
Is it the liberal or the conservative who believes you can help men permanently by doing for them what they could and should do for themselves?

Today's liberals have so sullied the term that even they shy away from it, preferring euphemisms like "progressive." (By that, they mean "progress" on the road to socialism.) If this is too abstract, here are a few practical distinctions:

Conservatives believe in individual freedom and responsibility.
Liberals believe in sacrificing individual freedom for socially desirable outcomes.

Conservatives believe in limited government.
Liberals believe that one of government's primary roles is social engineering.

Conservatives believe in free markets.
Liberals believe in government controls and central planning.

Conservatives believe that some problems have no solution and can only be mitigated at best.
Liberals believe that most every problem has a government solution.

Conservatives are concerned about the production of wealth.
Liberals are concerned about the redistribution of wealth.

Conservatives believe in the equality of opportunities.
Liberals believe in the equality of outcomes.

Conservatives believe that human nature is what makes us imperfect.
Liberals believe that human nature can be changed and perfected.

Conservatives believe in peace through strength.
Liberals believe in peace through cooperation and good will.

There are many other examples. Some are listed below whose liberal solutions defy logic in light of reality.

Why does a liberal feel that other citizens are not paying “their fair share” of taxes when taxpayers with 17% of the income pays 30% of the taxes?

Why does a liberal believe that throwing yet more money at education will improve its quality but adding educational choice will not?

Why does a liberal agree with the government when it subsidizes, taxes, regulates, and then sues a product manufacturer?

Why does a liberal oppose capital punishment of the guilty after receiving due process in law while supporting the capital punishment of an innocent fetus?

Why does a liberal support using welfare money to sue gun manufacturers instead of using the money to arrest the offenders?

Why does a liberal agree with the conservative that black citizens are equal and then support affirmative action and quotas indicating the liberal believes that blacks are not equal?

The empirical evidence that liberals cannot process reality is virtually unlimited but I won’t include the two hundred or so additional observations I have collected from Free Republic. Feel free to add comments or additional observations.
