Re: What is a Liberal?
I can see that the terms "liberal" and "conservative" are rather on end compared to the way some look at them.
In America "liberal" seems to be a liberal use of government power. One of the interesting things is that "liberals" in America tend to espouse freedom of speech as an ideal. However, they then do everything they can to shout down or intimidate any who use that freedom to disagree with them.
In America, "Liberal" does not seem to have much to do with liberty.
"Libertarian" is a new term. It seems to, in many ways, have supplanted the term "Libertine."
