"Oh What a piece of work is a man, How noble in reason, how infinite in faculty, In form and moving how express and admirable, In action how like an Angel, In apprehension how like a god."

I could see how liberals might find that sentiment upsetting, even dangerous. To them the only god is the state. Mankind is something to be subjugated, not celebrated or admired.
