A liberal is a person who advocates for a system in which everybody can coexist pacifically without anyone forcing sb into doing what they want. This implies that for example, Christians cannot but convince peacefully that their belief is the best.
The state shouldn't intervene either, except for some few areas: military, police, minimal social assistance and the judicial system to enforce the non-aggresion laws. In this line of thinking, Milton Friedman is one of the greatest exponents of liberal ideology. Any tax is considered theft, since it's an aggression to private property, but some can be considered so beneficial and so inexpensive that may be justifiable.
There is a natural tendency to want to be the most liberal in the room. Some even advocate for anarchy: no state intervention at all. The rest are called minarchists, and hated by the radical anarchists.

Get the liberal mug.People who don't live in reality.
People who only criticize everyone else without offering any of their own solutions.
People with no valid arguments because they aren't arguing from any sort of position and so their mind changes like the wind.

Get the Liberals mug.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."
