Liberal is a person with liberal views. However, an EXTREME liberal is the WORST type of person. To start with they brainwash people. Then they convince you that their pre made views they hand to you are open minded. They tell you to hate Republicans and everyone who thinks differently than you. They are the first to throw around the word racist. Most extreme liberal abuse minorities. They look for a group typically blacks or hispanics, convince them they are nothing and need the liberals to survive, then exploit them for political power. Extreme liberals are usually igorant but claim everyone else is. They pretend to be looking out for the people but are only looking out for themselves. Some day people will realize this is the truth.

Now listen, I am only talking about EXTREME liberals. Liberals aren't great either but extreme are horrible Extreme republicans are just as bad. Extreme anything is bad. The moral of the story folks, stay middle of the road, don't completely trust any political group because hey, once you get far enough up in the line there is no difference in the groups they are all selfish and corrupt. Keep an open mind. Think for yourself. Don't believe everything you are told. Have fun. And pay attention to the details here before you flip on me.

A liberal, in the American sense, is one who falls to the left in the political spectrum; In other parts of the world, however, liberalism is the belief in laissez-faire capitalism and free-market systems - hence the recently coined term, neoliberalism. Although I do not like to generalize, for the purposes of a (somewhat) concise dictionary definition, here is the very basic liberal (American sense) ideology: Politics: The federal government exists to protect and serve the people, and therefore, should be given sufficient power to fulfill its role successfully. Ways in which this can be accomplished include giving the federal government more power than local governments and having the government provide programs designed to protect the interests of the people (these include welfare, Medicare, and social security). Overall, these programs have helped extensively in aiding the poor and unfortunate, as well as the elderly and middle class. To make sure that the interests of the people are served, it was liberals (or so they were considered in their time) that devised the idea of a direct democracy, a republic, and modern democracy. This way, it is ensured that the federal government represents the interests of the people, and the extensive power that it is given is not used to further unpopular goals. Liberals do not concentrate on military power (though that is not to say they ignore it), but rather focus on funding towards education, improving wages, protecting the environment, etc. Many propose the dismantling of heavy-cost programs such as the Star Wars program (no, not the film series), in order to use the money to fund more practical needs. Social Ideology: As one travels further left on the political spectrum, it is noticed that tolerance, acceptance, and general compassion for all people steadily increases (in theory at least). Liberals are typically concerned with the rights of the oppressed and unfortunate – this, of course, does not mean that they ignore the rights of others (liberals represent the best interests of the middle-class in America). This has led many liberals to lobby for the rights of homosexuals, women, minorities, single-mothers, etc. Many fundamentalists see this is immoral; however, it is, in reality, the most mature, and progressive way in which to deal with social differences. Liberals are identified with fighting for equal rights, such as those who wanted to abolish slavery and those who fought hard for a woman's reproductive right (see Abortion). Liberals have also often fought for ecological integrity, protecting the environment, diversity of species, as well as indigenous populations’ rights. Almost all social betterment programs are funded by liberal institutions, and government funded social programs on education improvement, childrens’ rights, womens’ rights, etc. are all supported by liberals. Basically, social liberalism is the mature, understanding way in which to embrace individual differences, not according to ancient dogma or religious prejudice, but according to the ideals of humanity that have been cultivated by our experiences throughout history, summed up in that famous American maxim: “with liberty and justice for all.” Economics: Using the term ‘liberal’ when speaking of economics is very confusing, as liberal in America is completely opposite to the rest of the world. Therefore, here, as I have been doing, I will concentrate on the American definition of liberal concerning economics. Liberals believe that the rights of the people, of the majority, are to be valued much more sincerely than those of corporations, and therefore have frequently proposed the weakening of corporate power through heavier taxation (of corporations), environmental regulations, and the formation of unions. Liberals often propose the heavier taxation of WEALTHY individuals, while alleviating taxes on the middle class, and especially the poor. Liberals (American sense) do not support laissez-faire economics because, to put it simply, multinational corporations take advantage of developing countries and encourage exploitation and child labor (multinational corporations are spawned from laissez-faire policies). Instead, many propose the nationalization of several industries, which would make sure that wealth and power is not concentrated in a few hands, but is in the hands of the people (represented by elected officials in government). I am not going to go into the extreme intricacies of the economic implications of privatization of resources, etc., but will say that privatization and globalization have greatly damaged the economies of Latin America, namely Argentina and Mexico (see NAFTA). This summation of the leftist ideology may not be 100% correct in all situations, as there are many variations on several issues and I may have depicted the current definition of “liberal” as too far to the left than it is generally accepted. On that note, many leftists are critical of the political situation in America, claiming that the left is now in the center, as the general populace has been conditioned by institutions such as Fox News to consider “everything left of Hitler” (as one clever person put it) as radical liberalism. I, myself, have observed that, in America, there are two basic types of liberals: those who concern themselves only with liberal policies on the domestic front, and either ignore international affairs or remain “patriotic” and dedicated to the “American way” (Al Franken, Bill Clinton, etc.) And then there are those, despite the criticism they face from many fellow “liberals” (classified under the former definition), who are highly critical of US foreign policy, addressing such issues as Iran-Contra, the Sandanistas, Pinochet, Vietnam, NATO’s intervention in Kosovo, our trade embargo on Cuba, etc, etc. (such as Noam Chomsky, William Blumm, etc.) Unfortunately, it seems that adolescent rage has run rampant on this particular word, and most definitions are either incoherent jumbles of insults and generalizations or deliberate spewing of misinformation (see the definition that describes the situation in Iraq, without addressing our suppression of popular revolts in Iraq, our pre-war sanctions on Iraq that have caused the death of some 5 million children, and our support for Saddam during the Iran-Iraq war, and even our post-war sale of biological elements usable in weapons to Saddam’s regime).

Hm...it seems that people have the terms "liberal" "socialist" and "communist" all confused. A communist is liberal. A socialist is liberal. But a liberal is not necessarily communist or socialist. I am a liberal; I believe in equal rights for all, fair trade, compassionate foreign and domestic policies, and diplomacy instead of war.

1. Technically, someone who falls to the left in a political system, who believes in government programs (healthcare is a good example, as is welfare) and a larger scope of government, also favors monitoring of business and protection of constitutional rights. Someone who believes that the federal government should have more importance than state government, 2. Somehow, it has turned into an insult, like the word [conservative]. Usually used as such by people who have never taken a political science class and don't know what the word means. Often used to describe "liberal media" despite the fact that most media outlets are owned by conservative corporations like ClearChannel, and the prevalence of conservative talk shows.

6. (Liberal) (1890↑, 1151↓)
noun: A person who, because of a brilliantly ineffectual two-party system, has been made out as the "enemy of democracy" in the minds of those currently in power. Every vicious, hateful post against these people (and against conservatives) helps take our minds off of the real ills of society so that we may feel like we're doing good by hating SOMETHING.

Bill: We should fight poverty. Jim: Yeah, but you wouldn't know how, because you're a stupid pot-smoking hippie naive liberal. Bill: Well you're a heartless selfish conservative, and I hate your views\! Jim: I hate your views too\! Bill: Well, I feel better about fighting poverty now.

someone who is usually subjected to narrowminded hostility in his or her own time, but is vindicated by posterity. Many of the political figures we revere today were liberals in their own time.

In general, have most of the good ideas, but are sadly represented on the Internet by whiny, insecure hypocrites (probably high schoolers) who complain (from the anonymosity of their computers) about not being able to criticize the US government or conservatives in general, and then completely SPAZ OUT when anyone DARES criticize their ideas. Free speech is a two-way street mm'kay? Notice that just about all the definitions that criticize liberals have been deleted or are up for deletion. Granted, some of them were stupid/hateful, but what does that tell you about liberals being "open minded"? Well the truth is that most liberals in real life are open-minded and cool, but on the web basically act like bizarro-Republicans and aren't actually "liberal" at all, just the political equivalent of [poseur]s.

In real life: Jim: Hey Steve, do you think that gays should be allowed to marry? Steve: Of course. Gay marriage occurs in most of Europe without "eroding family values" or any such nonsense. Why shouldn't they have the same rights as everyone else? It's the 21st century. It's time for America to evolve. Online: Jim: Hey Steve, do you think that gays should be allowed to marry? Steve: OMG You must be a bigot Cristian fundie homophobe\!\!\!\! How could you even THINK of questioning gay marriage????? Why don't you go watch more NASCAR and Fox News huh Cleetus?? Huh Jimbo??

A truly compassionate person. One who thinks that there is more to life than making money. Unlike conservatives, believes that government has a responsiblity to take care of ALL citizens, not just the white, wealth males.

Liberals are responsible for pulling America out of the Great Depression, creating Medicare and keeping the Christian Coalition from taking over your life.

Unfortunately, nobody on here has truly captured the meaning of "liberal." Liberal inherently implies desiring change or reform of the current system, whatever that system may be. [Conservative] is obviously the opposite; it describes something or someone who wants to [conserve] the status quo and reject change. Some people get confused by the notion that the United States differs from the rest of the world in terms of its usage of liberal and conservative, but it does not. The reason it does not is because the economic system in place at the foundation of the US was based in a [free market], not a restricted one. Therefore, in the US, fiscally conservative implies wanting to conserve what was originally present, a.k.a free market [capitalism]. Liberal economics in the US obviously steer away from that since, as it was already pointed out, liberal implies change. In most other countries of the world, liberal economics implies gradually freeing markets more (becoming more capitalistic), instead of less. To some people (see previous posters), this is opposite the system we use in the US, but IT IS NOT. Liberal economics, a.k.a changing the economic system, in other countries means becoming more capitalistic because they originated from oppressive economic systems. In summary, liberal means advocating change and conservative means advocating conservation. Those definitions apply EVERYWHERE. They may appear opposite in different places, but that's only because the "status quo," or the situations, in those places differ.

person 1: If JFK ran for office today, then he'd probably run with a conservative platform. person 2: You're absolutely right, because what was liberal in the 1960s is conservative today. That's because the situations have changed, but the terminology hasn't.

I wish to begin by saying that no definition of Liberal can be found without some personal bias of the author. I myself am a liberal, and although I believe this to be a comprehensive definition, others will define Liberal in a more callous sense. They are mistaken, but that's just my opinion. "Baby killer", for instance, is merely a stereotype of a liberal. Of the left wing in the political spectrum; liberal is a broad term usually lost in the flurry of stereotypical distinctions like Democrat, Anarchist, Libertarian, Green, or Socialist. Liberals typically value personal freedom and the well-being of others over their own moral opinions. Liberals have been the moving force in American culture for centuries, with the conservatives being the holding force. Liberals were responsible for the emancipation and suffrage of blacks, women's suffrage, the teaching of evolution, and other political decisions considered controversial by the right. Atheists are typically associated with the left, as are gays, blacks, "pro choice" proponents, and American intellectuals. It is confusing to associate either liberals or conservatives with America's financial base, because both sides have wealthy families. America's religious base is more commonly aligned with conservatives, and thus most attacks on liberals are fueled by religious fervor (criticizing liberals on being pro-choice on abortion, on not supporting the War in Iraq, on calling for stricter enforcement of separation of church and state, etc). In recent years, there have been few good representatives of Liberalism, those few being Michael Moore, Howard Dean, John Kerry, and a handful of relatively unknown writers and artists (Howard Zinn, Zach De La Rocha, etc).

Why do conservatives call liberals "commies", even though communists are conservatives themselves? Is it too hard to say "socialists"?

1. Derived from "Liberty", a liberal is literally someone who believes in freedom. This includes freedom of religion, freedom from tyranny, and free markets. However, American liberals have rejected freedom of the market, and have economically mixed liberal ideals with socialist ideals to create the American liberal. This is someone who supports personal freedom in social issues, and mixed economic initiatives to create greater equality within capitalism. Typical issues that liberals support are less restrictions on abortions, more restrictions on guns, the equality of genders, races, religions and sexual orientations, and the Separation of Church and State. The American liberal would add on such things as socialized healthcare, environmentalism and greater support for the poor through welfare and greater spending on public services. Liberal is sometimes used as an insult by their enemies, conservatives. This occurs in the United States, elsewhere liberal is usually a complement. As a result, many liberals dub themselves progressives, which does not have the same negative connotations.

1. "Any society that would give up a little liberty to gain a little security will deserve neither and lose both." Benjamin Franklin 2. "I hate liberals. Stupid pinko liberals are ruining America." "Yeah, damn liberals and their...their...liberty. Psht, this is America, we don't need liberty. God bless America." "Hey, wait..." 3. Often thought of as the founder of Liberalism, John Locke said that no state has the right to take away a person's "life, health, liberty, or possessions."

A word Americans has no clue as to its meaning. Another derogatory word used by small minded bible pushing hypocrites to box anyone that has an opposing view. Progressive thinker in an evolving society Oh…last but not least, a person that does not agree that W.M.D spells liberation.

“Was watching Fox news and this liberal dude with the glasses next to Sean Hannity (the Jewish looking one they seem to invite every night) must be a fag as he did not agree with Ann Coulter and made her mad…she tried hard to explain in English that WMD spells liberation, he even objected to her idea of us nuking France”

19. (liberal) (631↑, 398↓)
One who is polically speaking, party neutral. One who examines both sides of an issue before making a stance, and also will re-examine their stance upon presentation of new evidence. A liberals views are not limited by bigotry, tradition, dogma, tradtion, etc. They are based on the results of their own observations and investigations into a subject from as many sides as possible. While the liberal prefers to use logic over emotion, it does not mean he is without a heart. A liberal is just a capable of compassion as another man. He only tries to avoid the irrationality that can result from stong emotions.

Are you a Republican or a Democrat? Neither I'm a liberal.

20. (liberal) (690↑, 459↓)
An individual who attempts to see the bigger picture. One who questions authority, and who believes in actual freedom, not dictated freedom, as is handed down by republican politicians.

Any free-thinking individual who doesn't rely on archaic texts like the bible to dictate how they live.

Liberalism is really the politics of the thinking man. Areas of the country with the highest percentages of educated people, for example, are overwhelmingly liberal. Stereotypically, liberals know too much for their own good. Oftentimes while conservatives are busy making horrible political decisions, liberals alone bear the burden of actually having to understand what consequences will arise. See also, Democrat, which is a happy middle ground politically speaking for liberals who have too much money to be totally idealistic, or for marginalized groups who have traditionally been alienated by the antics of many in the Republican party.

The so-called liberal bias is actually a bias in the level of education attained. For example, university professors are overwhelmingly liberal in national samples, which coincides with their having attained advanced degrees.

a liberal is a person that is the political opposite of a conservative. I have voted in 3 polls so far. I wish Bush didn't start the War on Terror.

I think that, unlike many people posting here, I'll use rational argument to prove my points... 1. Liberals are smarter than Conservatives in general. Type in '2004 Election by IQ' into Google or some other search engine. 2. Liberals are more stable than conservatives when it comes to family and the like. In New England, the most liberal part of the country, there are 2.4 divorces per 1000 people. In Texas, there are 4.2 divorces per 1000 people. In the Bible belt, divorce is at the highest rates in the country. 3. Liberals believe in strict economic laws and loose laws dealing with personal freedoms. Abortion, DUH. If you don't want to get one, don't get it. Seriously, some radical christian families in the midwest are living in trailers with six or seven half-starved children because they are anti-condom, anti-abortion fundamentalists who are lobbying to have the supposedly "immoral" rights outlawed. Yet they fail to realize that abortions keep mistakes from happening (rape and perverted incest) and that they are in a dogshit condition because they don't know that the average child costs about $220,000.

the average wage and marriage age in the south and bible belt is lower than those in the north, mainly california, oregona, new england, DC, washington. blue states. More blue staters have completed college than red-staters. "The liberals from Massachusetts have long prided themselves on their emphasis on education, and it has paid off: People who stay in school longer get married at a later age, when they are more mature, are more likely to secure a better job, and job income increases with each level of formal education. As a result, Massachusetts also leads in per capita and family income while births by teenagers, as a percent of total births, was 7.4 for Massachusetts and 16.1 for Texas." Boston Globe, or NYTimes.

5 The VILE person shall be no more called LIBERAL, nor the churl said to be bountiful. 6 For the VILE person will speak VILLANY, and his heart will work INIQUITY, to practice hypocrisy, and to utter error against the LORD, to make empty the soul of the hungry, and he will cause the drink of the thirsty to fail. 7 The instruments also of the churl are EVIL: he deviseth wicked devices to destroy the poor with lying words, even when the needy speaketh right. 8 But the LIBERAL deviseth liberal things; and by liberal things shall he stand.

Rev. John Stott (in Basic Christianity) has said: “The great tragedy in the church today is that evangelicals are Biblical but not contemporary, while \<b\>liberals\</b\> are contemporary but NOT Biblical.

Someone who thinks that killing an unborn child is free choice, but killing a convicted murderer or a child rapist is "insensitive". Someone who think the government should control all aspects of life examples: Healthcare, Education, Business, personal income, and religious beliefs (So nobody can be offended). Someone who thinks that eliminating poverty is more important than preserving economic freedom in life. Someone who thinks that fair taxation is not fair until the people who make more money pay more than their fair share. Someone who supports such extreme environmental regulations that drilling for oil in the US is virtually impossible, but also fight against any source of energy that actually works (Nuclear, Coal). But they can also support ethanol that takes approximately 1.5 gallons of diesel fuel to provide the power to make 1 gallon of "environmental friendly" ethanol. They must also subsidize ethanol companies, therefore creating a money vacuum into a doomed energy policy. Which not too mention has decreased US food production and therefore has led to a worldwide increase of countries with food shortages by the way. Someone who supports free speech as long as it doesn't contradict what they believe, then it's no longer free speech, but "hate speech." They must also be completely ignorant of history which shows us that increase in government control ultimately leads to the destruction of freedom. Examples: The Soviet Union, Nazi Germany, The People's Republic of China, etc. Someone who believes in equal economic outcome (an aspect of socialism) instead of inequality based on what you earned (an aspect of capitalism). Someone who blindly believes that the government would never do anything to hinder the freedoms of people no matter how much power it is given and the government is the solution to all economic and social problems because they actually know what's best for you, not the individual. Remember, Big Brother is here to help you, not hurt you. There are of course many other things that you must blindly believe in order to be a liberal in the modern political American aspect of the word. Regardless of what history teaches us about government control in people's lives.

Conservative: Doesn't history show us that too much government control, even with good intentions, leads to inevitable destruction of freedom? Liberal: That's only because the wrong people were in power Conservative: What makes modern American liberals so different? Liberal: Because WE have the best interest of the people on our minds. Conservative: That's what every oppressive government in history said when they eliminated freedoms for the sake of the "common good" Liberal: But we're different\! We're not eliminating freedom, but eliminating people's choice to make wrong decisions. Conservative: So who decides what's "best for the people", the government? How does that make you different than a socialist? Liberal: WE JUST ARE\! You're a racist\! And a Bigot\! And you don't care about anybody but the super rich\! Conservative: Why? Because I don't want the government to have complete control in people's lives? But instead give the people the right to prosper if they choose, or to not if they choose? Liberal: Just shut up\! You're an ignorant, Christian, redneck, homophobe\! Conservative: My point exactly.

The term varies a lot between contexts, so, to avoid looking like a [[dumbass]], I'll stick with the ones I know. \#1: Liberal, adjective, non-political. Stating using a large dosage of something or having mostly nonrestrictive views about issues such as sex or religion. Example: I used a liberal amount of sugar to make those cookies. I am fairly liberal when it comes to what Church I go to. I am liberal and venturesome in the bedroom. \#2: Liberal, adjective, political. Example: Due to the sheer amounts of hate and propoganda floating around here, I will try to be as objective as possible. Liberals are generally on the left side of the political spectrum. This is the same side as communists, fascists, and socialists. However, most liberals are not communists, or fascists, or socialists to any significant degree. Communism is to the far end of Liberalism. It is about the destruction of all class and property distinctions between people, like China during the Great Leap Forward. Fascism is a strong, centrist dictatorship, but is not communist. An example would be Suddam Hussein's Iraq. See below to continue.

Socialism is the blanket term that most accurately describes what many moderate liberals believe. It is like a watered-down form of communist in it's media-presented form. However, it is not that simple. It is about the government and the people aiding one another and distributing supplies and wealth according to a system. The degree of socialism ranges strongly, from almost non-existent levels such as in ancient Rome's alimentia, which was free bread and vegetable soup to the poor. The extreme end would be Hitler's Germany, which had programs for the betterment of certain Germans. It brought the country out of WW1, but it turned essentially fascism with social security. I think I've said enough. If you haven't figured it out already, I am a Liberal. Thats the end of part 1. I'd post more, but someone implemented limits on how long entries can be.

The politics of a man with a brain and not a gay obsession with American Nationalism. Pro abortion Pro- gay rights Not obsessed with fairytale books like the bible Not willing to allow old people to die as they are unable to afford to heat their homes just to promote capitalism They do not want to arm everyone with guns Now obviously some liberals go too far and this is what gives them and a bad name and associates them with being a "liberal hippie douche". and promote disgusting policies such as affirmative action (Giving non-whites more rights than whites in essence). And some of them are far too anti-war. But generally they have the correct policies.

Typically, an American who is in support of more personal freedoms, (the right for everyone to vote, marry, protest, etc.) but less economic freedom (in favor of regulated economy and higher taxes for the rich). A liberal falls to the left of the center on a lateral political spectrum, as opposed to a conservative, who falls to the right. A conservative tends to support more economic freedom (less regulation of business and lower taxes for everyone) but less personal freedom (e.g. only straights should be allowed to marry, sex should only be between married heterosexuals, recreational drugs should be illegal) However, in contemporary America some conservatives and liberals have abandoned much of the anti-freedom pretense (in a personal and economic sense), and have become somewhat libertarian. (someone who believes the people should have as many personal and economic freedoms as possible while still maintaining a peaceful, civilized society)

Technically, Liberalism is at the center of the political spectrum. In UK politics, this position is championed by the Liberal Democrat Party. However, in the US, 'Liberal' is often used to describe members of the Democratic Party, despite the Democratic Party occupying the socialist area of the spectrum, much like the Labour Party.

UK: Jack: Which party do you support? John: Lib Dem. Jack: So you're a Liberal? John: Yep. US: Jack: Which party do you support? John: Democrat. Jack: So you're a Liberal? John: No, I'm a socialist.

.A person, in general, who is much more educated and informed than the average conservative. Who thinks an expert trained in their field is more knowledgeable than a talk show host. Who thinks we on earth should solve our problems rather than the invisible man in the sky. Who can back up what they say by checking facts and sources. Who knows the difference between facts-knowledge and faith-belief. Who believes in science and doesn't think scientists are conspiring to present falsities as facts to advance some sinister agenda. Who cares more about people than money. Who love more than they hate. Who knows a system based on greed can not fulfill the greater good but instead empowers con men, and all manner of criminals. Who understands that the rich and powerful will lord over everyone else unless the government imposes some restraint. Who fought for workers rights, such as the abolition of child labor, the 40 hour workweek, overtime pay, workers comp.,the right to organize collectively, equal rights and pay for women and many many other rights. All of these advances were fought by the cons. Most of which they would turn back if they could. Who want to progress into the future rather than retrogress into a fairy tail past.

The more educated one is the more likely one is to be humane, liberal, and agnostic.

Liberalism is the belief in a large and powerful centralized government. This does not mean that every liberal is a communist, but it also doesn't mean any thing about "looking after the oppressed" like so many seem to think it is. As far as modern liberalism goes, they usually support issuses such as abortion, socialized health care, and the anit-war movement. Many of todays liberals are composed of college age and younger teens who tend to be more ideological(i.e war is bad in all cases.)

Who the fuck even knows what this means anymore. The dictionary definition of liberal is someone who gives freely, but the word is now used by stick-up-the-ass politicians who think that all liberals want to turn America into a communist country and are baby rapists/murderers/terrorists/jews as a synonym for "bad." Their followers, a.k.a douchebags who think they know everything about politics because they once saw an advertisement on TV for Michelle Bachmann also use the word like this. Often accompanied by words like "media," "spoonfed," and "commies."

Initially associated with a philosopy of personal liberty and self reliance, protected by Libretatrian and democratic government, mainly defined as such in the years 1750-1963 (Ending upon the death of John F. Kennedy) Currently signifies, at least in western democracies, a dedication to what was previously known as socialism, with chief tenets including Government provided healthcare and education, along with mild to heavy redistribution of wealth through "Progressive" taxes based upon income. Also generally associated with the moral relativism and supposed "nonjudgementalism" of American celebrities, Secular Statesman in Europe and a whole range of other "Progressives" who criticize the current system of regulated capitalism in place in the United States. To be fair to liberals, though their economic ideas appeal especially to those within the so called "Progressive" community, the semi-socialist modern liberalism is a seperate entity from the relativists, nonjudgementalists and general haters of western civilisation and its norms(See Noam Chomsky, Michael Moore, Oliver Stone, Barbara Streisand, etc)

The word 'liberal' is derived from the Latin word 'libertas,' meaning 'liberty.' Liberalism started in 17th Century Europe as a logical and historical development from Protestantism with its focus on an individual having a direct personal relationship with God. Liberalism is also rooted in the English tradition of individual rights and privileges. John Locke's *Second Treatise on Civil Government* articulated the basic principles of liberalism--limited government, private property, equality before the law, the rule of law (meaning an impartial application and enforcement of the broad-based laws that allow for a wide scope of private discretion), and some democratic influence to restrict those in power. Locke, himself a Protestant Christian, believed people to be naturally sinful and selfish, but rational and social enough so that they could peacefully interact with one another. Laws are needed to maintain order, but largely the State should be restricted only to protecting private property (broadly defined as a person's private sphere), and to enforce contracts. The Founders of the United States were all followers of Locke. Jefferson's *Declaration of Independence* is an American adaptation of Locke's basic political philosophy. Puritan John Milton's defense of free speech in his *Areopagitica* provided the intellectual justification of the First Amendment from a Christian metaphysic. With John Stuart Mill we find a bridge to another conception of liberty and equality that moves more toward socialism. Mill was highly influenced by his wife, Harriet Taylor, who was more of an egalitarian than a liberal. Here we find Mill arguing against classical notions of liberalism. Mill argued, contrary to Locke, that a just law is an encroachment on a person's liberty. He also contended that informal, non-coercive public opinion was a violation the rights of the individual as are traditional prohibitions, say on sexual morality or gender roles. In these moves to conceive of liberty in a broader way that simply overt coercion, Mill started to blur the line between private and public. Mill was also concerned about the distribution of wealth and income in ways that the Founders of the U.S. were not. Mill,at times, argued for a greater role for the State to actually achieve equality of result and actual liberty from others as opposed to a purely formal equality and liberty that the classical liberals sought. These differences point to a fundamental divergence between classical and modern left liberals. Another such difference is the basic character of human nature. Locke and the U.S. Founders believed that humans were naturally selfish and dangerous in their exercise of power. For this reason, the U.S. Founders placed explicit restrictions on the State including a Bill of Rights, federalism, separation of powers, and checks and balances. Jefferson's admonition that the power that the State has to do something for you also has the power to do something to you follows from the doctrine of human depravity found in Christianity. Left liberals tend to view humans as naturally good or malleable. No one is born evil. So, with the proper education and proper social and economic environment, people can naturally cooperate and care for each other. Brutal punishment is inhumane and simply aggravates past injustices making those convicted of a crime even more alienated and victimized by the unequal social order. What is needed to avert criminal behavior is greater inclusion and benevolence. The mechanism that facilitates these moral advances can be the State. Concerns over abuse of power, at least in social welfare legislation and macroeconomic policy, are not only misplaced but can be unnecessary obstacles for social progress. Classical liberals view of legitimate State action is quite different. Physical punishment is seen as necessary to control those who freely choose to violate the rights of others. The State is needed to contain human evil and establish justice by retribution fairly imposed. Preparation and engaging in war can be necessary to protect a country from the attacks of an international aggressor. In both domestic and international crime, the person(s) who initiate violence forfeit their rights and violence can be justly used against them. Some classical liberals such as Jefferson, Tocqueville, and Benjamin Constant believed that liberty was supported in the indigenous cultures of free countries. All of the Founders of the U.S. believed that a necessary condition for liberty was moral self-control. Religion provided the average person with the moral training and habit to prepare them to live responsibly with their fellows. Leftist liberals in contrast tend to be indifferent or hostile to traditional cultures and traditional religion and morality. Following Mill, they tend to see tradition and religion as restrictions on liberty and hindrances to greater social and political equality. These leftist liberal theorists would not only include Mill, but T.H. Green, John Dewey, and John Rawls. These writers combine some elements of classical liberalism with socialism. Contemporary classical liberals would include F.A. Hayek, Robert Nozick, and Milton Friedman. They are considered conservative because they are trying to conserve or preserve the original liberal tradition that can be traced back to Locke and the U.S. Founders. They clearly reject an active role for the State in achieving actual equality because such extensive and intrusive actions by the State violate individual liberty and place social planners over average people in power relationships.

Somehow very misconstrued in the American politic system because liberalism at least in the original sense despised government intervention (aka handouts) and various other modern day tenets of liberalism in the US. They believe in individual freedoms, laisse-faire economics, property rights, and limited government. The closest to true liberalism that you will get in the US is probably liberatiarinism but there are still some differences there.

A person who supports no restrictions on somewhat out of the lime light issues (homosexuality, bestiality, criminals, terrorists, communists, dictators, assholes, lawyers, abortion, social responsibility, morals, pedophiles, etc.) yet wants lots of government supervision and restrictions on other issues (gun control, Christianity, war \{no war at all\}, generally things conservatives support) contradicting their own beliefs. They are not bad people, contradictory to what some people say, but many of the things they support in the hope of bettering society are actually quite damaging. This does not mean they do not improve society either. [Conservatives] are the opposite of Liberals, and these rules apply to them too, with their extremest beliefs harming and improving society in different ways. It is arguable that a balance of beliefs is the best for society; unfortunately, conservatives and liberals hate each others guts, and rarely if ever discuss topics together or come to a mutual conclusion.

Johnny was a liberal, and he believed that in terms of sexuality and religion, anything was fair game, but he also thought that the federal government should be more powerful than the state governments and that issues such as gun control should closely regulated by the government.

The most butchered and corrupt word in the English language. Originally meant somebody who believes in individual liberty and personal sovereignty, now means the complete opposite. Modern "liberalism" is an authoritarian collectivist ideology that is much closer to fascism and Communism than classical liberalism, with modern liberals believing that big government is the solution to every problem. The funny part is the actual reason behind the corruption of this word, which was conservatives calling statist-socialists "too liberal" for supporting things like the legalization of homosexuality, the separation of church and state and soft drug laws.

Modern liberal: I support freedom of speech for everyone but extremists and haters. Classical liberal: Everyone should have freedom of speech no matter how far their views stretch from the norm, after all it is those for whom freedom of speech exists to protect. Modern liberal: People shouldn't be allowed to own guns because they're dangerous. Classical liberal: When guns are criminalized, only criminals have guns. Everyone should have the right to defend themself and their property from criminals and tyrannical governments with a firearm. Modern liberal: Marijuana should be decriminalized, taxed and regulated by the government. Classical liberal: All drugs should be completely legalized to be grown and traded by whoever wants to grow and trade them. What somebody grows, trades or smokes is up to them, not the government. Modern liberal: A high income tax is a necessity. Classical liberal: Income tax is theft by thugs with guns. Modern liberal: The government should be there to make sure people don't make bad decisions. Classical liberal: People should take more personal responsibility for themselves.

One of two individuals. 1. Generally a progressive individual who sees that government should have enough power to provide for the every need of the citizens of that nation. A kind hearted soul who feels that government should be able to take care of people. 2. A closed-minded, politically correct nitwit who believes that Christians are evil, America is terrible, white people should feel guilty, Republicans are homophobic and racist, and that any form of morality is a bad thing to have.

1. My girlfriend is a liberal. I don't agree that government should have so much power, but I see her point of view. She just thinks this is the best way to help people. 2. Thank God that liberal bastard Keith Olbermann has left MSNBC. Now if only Rachel Maddow would leave and Janeane Garofalo would just disappear.

A person with a rather quixotic outlook on life. Someone who fails to note the plausibility in their thinking and focuses on perfecting an already functioning system. A person who doesn't realize that free healthcare entails raised taxes which would end up amounting to the same thing, if not more, as non-free healthcare. A liberal would preffer to abolish the death penalty entirely on account of its injustice but is for abortion (I too I am for abortion, I'm simply making a point.) The rights of a convicted murderer, rapist, or both seem to be more important than those of a wouldbe innocent child. According to every political spectrum test I have ever taken, I am a liberal. Oh well.

People should drop titles and simply make dicisions based on common sense. I'm liberal on certain issues--Conservative on others. This is not an example, but I was forced to make one.

In modern American terminology, a liberal is one who falls to the political left on most issues. These people, although good citizens, seem to enjoy muckraking and slandering most of the time. They say they like America and her laws and policies, but they end up just protesting, which is ok, but they tend to do it negatively. Overall, the modern use of the word liberal is just an insult, such as calling one a jackass, which, coincidentally, is the Democratic Party's symbol.

That guy listens to phish records, smokes pot, and is a public nuisance. He must be a liberal. ps, im not conservative.

Modern liberalism in America is simply not true liberalism. it is actually closer to statism. Statism is the idea that the state should control and regulate aspects of life. Liberalism, in its originally intended form, as described by Henry Thoreau, is exactly the same as modern conservatism. Conservatism in the United States is the conservation of the Founding Father's liberalism, classical liberalism. modern liberalism is simply statism and socialism.

Political: Someone who thinks from the left side of their brain rather than the right. Thinking emotionally without a rational explanation to back up their choice politically.

Liberal ideas are the opposite of Conservative ideas. Liberals act without thinking. Ex: "It's mean to kill someone..." Yes it is, but if the person is a psychotic murder, I believe they do have the right to death since they did not value another human's life when taking their life.

If you want to be a good liberal, here's what you have to believe. The words "under God" in the Pledge of Allegiance are Congress establishing a religion. A cross on an isolated mountaintop is Congress establishing a religion. All descendents of slave and conquistadors are downtrodden and oppressed, an unable to find meaningful work. To help them, we must raise taxes on working people and give the poor folks entitlements. The police are able to protect all citizens from Pachucos and other criminals, so we should repeal the Second Amendment. Amos 'n' Andy is a very bad show and you should never watch it. If you watch it, you will have an irresistable urge to put on a bed sheet and lynch some guys of color. All guns are intrinsically bad. A gun sitting in a bureau draw is able to go off and shoot people. Straight white males are the cause of all America's trouble, so we should raise their taxes. Quean Hillary knows what is best for me, so I should vote for her. It takes a village to raise a child. But no Christians or straight white males should live in that village. All children are wards of the state. A diverse workforce is better than a skilled workforce. A diverse student body is better than a literate and diligent student body. The best man for the job is a woman. A woman without a man is like a fish without a bicycle.

Stuckney the Soccer Mom is a liberal. She exercised her constitional rights by aborting a male fetus. She wants Quean Hillary to take things away from her and raise her taxes.

Liberal; (noun) 1.) a person who supports liberal or left-wing politics. 2.) Socialist, Marxist, communist or anti-American politics. Liberalism; (noun) Political beliefs founded on irrational hate, fear mongering, intolerance and treason. Liberals are typically obsessed with the belief that everything bad in the world is actually good and everything good is actually bad. Rather than basing their political beliefs on facts, truth, science or evidence, liberals generally rely on rumors, stereotypes, prejudice, fear, hate and illogical emotions. Those liberals in positions of prominence or power are experts at turnabout and blame-shifting tactics to avoid having to defend their baseless actions and propaganda. They typically accuse the accuser, blame the innocent and defend the guilty, while simultaneously claiming to be the voice of justice and reason. Liberals have a severely distorted view of the human race, history and the world in general. They like to believe in a Utopian fantasyland where everyone and everything lives in peace and happiness. Despite 10,000 years of history and the ridiculous absurdity of such notions, they still cling to these childish wishes. It is ironic that the world would actually have a chance of living in relative peace & happiness if it wasn’t for liberals. The harm they have caused and the lives they have destroyed are immeasurable.

In addition to being purely evil, Ted Kennedy and Rosie O’Donnell are liberals.

A very politically ill-informed socialist masquerading as U.S. citizen. Liberals generally exercise the use of a loud voice to win arguments. Liberals will sometimes gather to protest a subject that they feel is very important, inconveniencing hundreds that are trying to get on with their lives. A notable protest in Washington occurred when a few Liberals got together and thought that perhaps they should bring traffic to a complete halt in order to show the masses what they were sure was important, using garbage cans and their own bodies to their advantage. Many people are frankly surprised that those stuck in the traffic jam did not "run them the fuck over" - referring especially to the woman with a broken arm who was trying to make it to the emergency room.

Conservative: "It was Clinton's fault for dumping military funds into our national debt\! How could you think it was Bush's 'failed policies' that brought on trillions of dollars of debt\!? If we were going to prevent further terrorist action, then we had to go to the source to stop it." Liberal: "9/11 was just an excuse for oil, moron\!"

A liberal used to mean someone who cared about the rights of the individual and freedom of people. Somehow they lost their way and now believe in appeasing dictators. I met an Iraqi awhile ago that told me that the only time you could open your mouth in Iraq was at the dentist. Liberals now think that it's okay to leave dictatorships in place as long as it doesn't affect them personally. Liberals think that the reason terrorists kill us is because we're not nice to them. It's a little like "if she wasn't wearing that short dress she wouldn't have been raped." Better to blame the victim then to take responsibility for your own actions.

I think it's okay to let illegal aliens live in this country and get free medical care and education even though it puts a tremendous tax burden on us because I'm a liberal.

A person having a self-inflicted and/or self-maintained degenerative mental social disorder marked by insidious whining and complaining that is motivated mostly by imaginary fears and feelings of random inexplicable dissatisfaction and paranoia. A person with this mental disorder often imagines that government is supposed to solve all their personal problems, protect them from their imaginary fears, and take full responsibility for them so that they don’t have to take responsibility for themselves. The disorder has numerous often complex intertwined underlying symptoms and conditions including but not limited to; illegal substance abuse, confused sexual orientation, illogical thinking, irrational behavior, a “herd mentality”, working in the entertainment industry, strong beliefs in circular conflicting illogical ideals, stupidity, low IQ, laziness, lethargy, un-earned un-deserved monetary wealth (for example TV talk show hosts who are multi millionaires), and various self-inflicted emotional distresses such as sharing sex with other people they don’t really like or love resulting in emotionally damaging failed intimate relationships. Typically many of these symptoms and conditions are found with each inflicted individual. A history of various childhood abusive experiences such as; sexual abuse, being spoiled rotten, divorced parents, unknown fathers, physical abuse, etc, is also commonly found. It is very important to note that every person with these symptoms and/or conditions is NOT necessarily a "Liberal". Many people with the symptoms and conditions listed are not “Liberal”. However, virtually all people inflicted with the Liberal mental disorder have some of the symptoms and conditions listed. This shows that being a "Liberal" is a consciously chosen self-inflicted mental disorder and is therefore terminal and not treatable.

Jimmy doesn't want to have to work too hard to make anything of himself, he's afraid of failure. Therefore he believes in high taxes on the successful to provide him with an easy government job paying between $40,000-$60,000 a year so he won't have to think or work too hard during the day but still be provided the money to buy an X-box and a car. As a result, he can still play video games in his spare time and have enough cash to take females out to dinner and possibly find one that will have sex with him. This way he won't feel insecure about his lack of success. But since others will eventually catch on to his game and realize Jimmy is simply taking the easy way out, he must coin a new phrase for the events taking place, such as the "reallocation of resources," or "capitalism with a conscience." Now he can guilt his fellow citizens into providing him a thoughtless 9-5 job by pretending to care about those that actually had disadvantages growing up. Jimmy is a liberal. 4.

On a broad scale, the modern day Liberal is a complex organism consisting almost entirely of a tightly formed conglomeration of double standards. The word "Liberal" originally described honorable and principled men who held to a philosophy of government that advocated Constitutional Republicanism. Constitutional Republicanism is a type of government almost unknown to most of the world. America was originally a Constitutional Republic. A Constitutional Republic defined is characterized by a very small government with limits on its powers of taxation and whose other powers are strictly limited by rigorously enforced Constitutional edicts. The honorable old Liberals of the 19th century would certainly not recognize the "liberals" of today. Modern Liberals promote, advocate, and enforce the centralization of all political power into an all powerful central government. Some defining characteristics of modern liberals: At the most basic level, the Liberal is anti-God. The Liberal attempts to use government to eliminate all moral consequences for immoral behavior. The Liberal imagines that freedom from moral consequence can be secured by a collectivist, totalitarian state. Liberals use moralistic platitudes and catchy phrases like "social justice" , "The Brotherhood of Man" and "Change" to appeal to the naive masses who are duped into believing that the ultimate goals of Liberals are genuinely good. The fundamental power struggle of Liberals may be classified as the individual versus the collective. The Liberal supports the collective in every contest against the individual. Liberals hate Individualism because it demands moral responsibility. Liberals support collectivism because they hope to eliminate the need for moral responsibility. The U.S. Constitution and specifically the support for rugged individualism which is evident in the Bill of Rights, is the enemy of the Liberal. The Liberal despises the United States because it is the premier protector and promoter of individualism in the world. In the mind of a Liberal, all institutions and concerns schools, environment, courts, etc. - serve no relevant purpose other than the promotion of collectivism. To a Liberal, abortion becomes necessary to guarantee sexual freedom and eliminate moral consequence. Any religion or religious person who believes or teaches that there are moral consequences for sin, is the enemy of Liberalism and must be oppressed. Thus for the collectivist Liberal bent on imposing socialism upon a nation, Christianity is the number one enemy above all other enemies. Christianity must be eliminated.. Strong families are one of the greatest threats to the final goals of Liberalism. The total disintegration of the American family in recent decades among some ethnic communities has occurred as a direct result of the design and intention of Liberals. Private ownership of guns is the single greatest symbol of individual power, and therefore is despised by Liberals. The Liberal despises national sovereignty. Why? Because the best protection of individual freedoms is found in small decentralized governments. The Liberal promotes the growth of multi-national and international governments such as the European Union and the United Nations because these organizations advance the cause of socialism and seek to destroy the very individualism that is best protected by sovereign states. The Liberal fears any hint of individualism in any part of the world, and is obsessed with the centralized control of all human activity and thought. Thus the Liberal constantly seeks total control over all forms of media. "Multi-culturalism" is the liberal code word for a single, oppressive, collectivist culture. Liberals speak often of tolerance, but they only tolerate Liberals and Liberal ideas. The Liberal seeks to criminalize any speech that promotes morality or individualism as "hate speech." Thus we see Liberal Judges and Liberal Courts outlawing the Bible and gutting the free speech provisions of the first amendment of the constitution. Liberal Judges are now declaring that the Bible's proscriptions against homosexuality are illegal "hate speech" and scripture is now in the process of being outlawed from any appearance in public discourse or the public square. The Liberal's only method of debate is to appeal to the emotions of uneducated and illogical persons. Liberals seek to insult and discredit anyone who dares to disagree with them, especially in the college classroom. Why? Because the facts of logic and history do not support the agenda they are seeking to advance. When possible, Liberals oppress anyone who questions their beliefs. Liberals despise all innocence - especially the innocence of a child. Thus Hollywood Liberals seek to steal the innocence of our children as early as possible and the public schools assist them in this goal. Liberals seek to sexualize our children, eliminate age of consent laws and promote the normalization of pedophilia, all in the pursuit of sexual freedom. The Liberal typically chooses a career in a field that produces nothing of value. A Liberal will look for employment in field such as public education, an employee of local, county, state or federal government, an "activist," a lawyer, or a bureaucrat in a tax free foundation or an NGO devoted to advancing Liberal goals, etc. Liberal do-good programs enrich Liberals and do little to actually help the poor. Liberals are not obsessed with sex, but with promiscuity. Promoting promiscuity among the masses is the primary mission of the Liberals who control the Hollywood, Television and print media monopoly. Why? Because Liberals know that the twin pillars that support conservatism are family values and faith in God. By promoting promiscuity Liberals know that they are simultaneously attacking both of the main support pillars of rugged individualism. Liberals say that they despise marriage and family because they are "patriarchal institutions" that oppress women and children. But the real reason they despise marriage and family values is because these institutions oppose, disapprove and limit promiscuity thus undermining one of the principal supports for Liberalism. Liberals seek to control public schools, and force all children into them, in order to foster promiscuity and instill collectivist ideology into the minds and hearts of our children. Liberals are obsessed with demonstrating their putative "moral superiority." Thus even though they live their lives without really helping anyone, the political activism they engage in is dedicated to convincing themselves that they are truly good people. Liberals are driven by the need to validate the unspoken assertion that "I care more than you do," which is ironic in the extreme since none of the government programs liberals have designed can be shown to have an overall positive influence in our society. Whenever a Liberal expresses concern "for the children," invariably they are using and targeting children to expand their own power, promote promiscuity, advance collectivism and enlarge their personal income at the expense of the taxpayer. Liberals are elitists who exempt themselves from the oppressive rules they impose on the general population. Liberals howl in rage if a homosexual transvestite or convicted felon is even slightly offended, but they openly bash Christians. Liberals claim to be against violence, but make excuses for Liberals like Lenin, Stalin, Mao and Castro who murder and torture political dissidents. Liberals claim to be against violence, but they seek to disarm individuals and render them powerless before the thugs, thieves and murderer's who rule the inner cities. Liberals have enormous compassion for criminal predators, but little for the victims. In the Liberal world, all problems stem from individualism, and all solutions are collective.

Liberal: As a liberal I'm proud to promote and celebrate all forms of opinions and lifestyles that humanity has to offer. Non Liberal: Neat\! So as a Christian I can assume that you'll tolerate my belief that things like homosexuality, pedophilia, and abortion are wrong? Liberal: Absolutely not\!\!\! That's hate speech and my buddies at the ACLU are working night and day to make what you just said a federal offense. Non Liberal: But I thought you just said that you celebrate ALL forms of opinions and lifestyles. Liberal: Yeah, but you don't count you hateful, closed minded bigot. I hope you die in a fire\! Non Liberal: Oh, I see. How kind of you.

A person, generally associated with Democrats, who often contradicts him/herself on many issues. They generally have good ideas, but do not think very much about the issues at stake. Their general views tend to be: anti-war, pro-abortion, pro-taxes, anti-religion, etc. On racial relations: Liberals will ensure "equality" of minorities by giving themselves fewer rights. On the environment: Use tons of paper to protest cutting down a forest. On personal responsibilities: There are none. The government must stop every choice a person makes before said person makes that choice.

Liberals want all Constitutional Rights enforced, except the right to bear arms. Liberals support abortion, but reject the notion of killing terrorists. Liberals claim George W. Bush is an incompetent boob, yet claim he masterminded 9/11. Liberals believe in evolution, but shun survival of the fittest.

1.NOT to be confused with a democrat. A liberal is a person with a far left mentality who is so far gone they refuse to listen to anyone else’s point of view. The hypocrisy of the liberal doesn't stop there, they constantly protest other peoples way of life and life choices under the label of freedom never realizing that all the protesting and complaining they do only creates more laws and rules thus further restricting freedom. 2. Hypocrite 3. A follower who believes they are a leader. 4. A person who makes decisions based on emotions or off of what another liberal said never from facts.

132. (liberal) (205↑, 422↓)
A politician who promises entitlements to certain groups in order to buy their votes. Note that the politician therefore wants those groups to remain static, so he can promise more entitlements and get more votes. A liberal has no desire to see [black], [Mexican], or [poofter] populations leave their ghettos, barrios, or prance halls and blend in with the rest of society. If they did that, there would be no easy block of votes. Liberals have no desire to see blacks or Mexicans get good paying jobs. With a good job comes the liberal's enormous burden of taxes, which soon wipe out your entitlements. In short, a liberal is most interested in preserving the status quo, by keeping black folk down on de ol plantation.

The liberals in the United States seek to destroy the USA's super power status and redistribute its wealth into the third world. Then they will place its military under the complete control of NATO and the UN, thereby ending American sovereignty. Due to these liberals' Marxist ideals, they seek to destroy all forms of western religion. Under a delusional belief, they think that the religious right is bound in chains to their protestant christian religions. Despite their willful attempts to protect their way of life, they must be "freed" from their religion by any means necessary (even by force) by the likes of "enlightened" secular, marxist, socialist liberals.
