Prominent Academics Sign Their Name to "Liberalism"

Some prominent academics stand up to modern day liberalism.Here's a signed statement:

We reaffirm the great principle of liberalism: that every citizen is entitled by right to the elementary means to a good life. We believe passionately that societies should afford their citizens equal treatment under the law -- regardless of accidents of birth, race, sex, property, religion, ethnic identification, or sexual disposition. We want to redirect debate to the central questions of concern to ordinary Americans -- their rights to housing, affordable health care, equal opportunity for employment, and fair wages, as well as physical security and a sustainable environment for ourselves and future generations.

Modern day liberalism certainly doesn't believe in the concept of "equal protection of the law".How could it when it wants to redistribute income from group A to group B.This is nothing more than socialism.
