liberal

One who cares for America and wishes to preserve the ideals of this nation's founders, all progressive men in their day.

Ben Franklin owned a Cannabis farm and George Washington was known to toke up as well. Plus, they wrote the Bill of Rights. They were liberals. They would start a riot if they could see how their ideals are getting assraped by the current government

Liberal

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)

I'm a liberal, so I won't vote for Sarah Palin, she wants to keep weed illegal and not let the gays get married.

Someone from, what a guy I once spoke with calls, the evil empire of Massachusetts. Or from California. Yeah, that's plausible I think.

Obama Pyjama is a liberal, as is Deval Patrick, and lots of other folks.

By definition, a liberal is, and always will be, a hypocrite. Liberals are the very basis of sin, and I hope that someday, we can all be free of their wining and crying.

(In a house, there is random crying and noise)
Tom: Mary, get the baby to shut up!
Mary: Sorry, honey, a liberal just showed up at the door.

liberal

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.

If you want to see true liberals read Adam Smith, Voltaire, or Tom Paine.
