She may call herself a Liberal, but standing up to a centrally planned community approved by government is a Libertarian action.
So toanswer your question, of course I like it when Liberals do Conservative things, just like Liberals liked it when McCain turned on Republicans. But the philosophy as a whole isn't that people should be free; it's that they're too dumb to handle freedom, and need to have their lives planned for them. They market this as 'empathy' but the ones at the top realize that by by both increasing the size of government and centralizing its control beneath them, they have the power to extort (and be bribed by) businesses.
They don't give a damn about the environment, minorities, or anything else like that–at least not any of the ones that have ammassed influence. What they care about is people having to kiss their rings, their asses, and pad their coffers, before anything can get done.
