Get the Someday Later mug.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.

Get the liberal mug.Cyber Liberals are a group of people who gang up in chat rooms and or on public boards. It is important to note that, due to their herd mentality, Cyber Liberals are never found alone; they are always part of a group.
Cyber Liberals believe that the government can magically solve all of mankind's problems. The Cyber Liberals' trust in government leaders is absolute. From birth to death, Cyber Liberals have ultimate faith in the government to provide equally for everyone. They have no understanding of where wealth comes from, and are completely unaware that the government has no wealth except that which it first takes it away from its citizens.
If confronted with their flawed logic and the fallacies of their beliefs, they huddle together and hurl insults and call names. They are unable to defend the unsound reasoning upon which they have based their beliefs, because they lack even the most basic understanding of what they profess to believe. Some Cyber Liberals exhibit symptoms of mad cow disease if asked to explain the fallacies in the logic of their arguments.
When Cyber Liberals are provided with the reality of the results of full government control, whether socialism or a theocracy for example, they deny the facts, deny history, and again resort to hurling insults and name-calling.
Typically a cyber liberal is one who believes that his employment is beneath him, and that his employer owes him a job, regardless of his qualifications and education. Typically he is a high school or college drop out. Although, it is not unusual for a Cyber Liberal to have a B.A. degree in Fine Arts. Those who do cannot understand why they are flipping burgers instead of having their paintings of bird droppings exhibited at the Museum of Modern Art in New York City.

The Cyber Liberals in the chat room, typing insults in all caps, left no room for a rational debate of principles.
