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."

What you are when you're young.

Includes the following:

1. Youth/Ignorance - Naive, easily deceived, listen to mommy and daddy and what they say about the bad man in Washington D.C.

2. Self-entitlement mentality - The government owes me this and that. Gimme gimme gimme gimme. Fraudulent welfare checks and social security payments abound.

3. Foolishness - Let's give money to third world nations that won't use the money to help said nations - just to fuel those in power.

4. Apathy - nothing in the world is worth fighting for. Let everyone else suffer under tyrants as long as we have our drugs and our booze.

5. Prey on minorities - Vote for me, all you blacks and mexicans, and I'll put money that you didn't earn into your pockets! (NOT.)

6. Redistribution of wealth - take money from those who earn it and give it to those who don't do fuck all. See "entitlement mentality."

7. Irrationality - anyone who favors the other side or merely disagrees with a liberal is racist, politically incorrect, stupid, and naive for not having seen Fahrenheit 9/11 .

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.
