Liberals are conservatives and vice versa

Here’s Charles Krauthammer with “A party without ideas”:

What has happened to the Democrats over the past few decades is best captured by the phrase (coined by Kevin Phillips) "reactionary liberalism." Spent of new ideas, they have but one remaining idea: to hang on to the status quo at all costs.
And here’s George Will commenting on the Kelo case with “Damaging Deference”:

Liberalism triumphed yesterday. Government became radically unlimited in seizing the very kinds of private property that should guarantee individuals a sphere of autonomy against government.
The one constant in life is the Congress will continue to spend too much money no matter who’s in charge.
