Embittered, painfully self-righteous citizen who enjoys criticizing views that differ from his/her own. Often found speaking derogatory phrases against other political parties in the loudest voice possible, the liberal will not tolerate criticism of his/her beliefs in response.
Prefers to blame all economic speed bumps on conservatives, while not acknowledging folly in his/her own political party.
Proud of the fashionable, "edgy" label he/she possesses. This makes him/her feel artificially unique and intelligent.
Characteristics: hubris, defensiveness, ability to "pass the buck."

1. The worldview that history began yesterday and any point in the future beyond next week will never arrive. An exemption is 'global warming' which is certain to have us all swimming before the end of the century. No explanation is given as to how this can be accurate, since our best meteorological technology cannot tell us with absolute certainty what the weather will be like two days from now, let alone in 50 years.
2. One who is generous with OPM (other people's money).
3. Anyone who thinks an economy can be taxed into prosperity.
4. One who sees absolutely no linkage between cause and effect.
5. Anyone who thinks that America is great because of government and will be utopia when government controls every aspect of life.
6. One who thinks it possible to give a federal tax cut to someone who does not pay federal taxes to begin with.
7. A mongoloid.

In American politics, a liberal is one who believes that more government is the answer to everything.

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.

Today's liberals want to make the world a better place...as long as they don't have to make the big sacrifices, and someone else does.
