A so-called "bad" thing to be before, now and probably in the future. It's been somehow turned into an attack word. What people don't realize is that no kind of progress is made without even an ounce of liberalism in your blood. Civil rights movement? Liberal from MLK Jr. Free speech/checks and balances/etc.? Liberal idea from Enlightenment thinkers. Any kind of new technology? Liberal in the sense that you want to change the existing conditions. Face it. Any kind of change, whether good or bad, is promoted by liberalism.
Ann Coulter: You can not be a liberal and be a Christian.

Get the liberal mug.The term varies a lot between contexts, so, to avoid looking like a dumbass, I'll stick with the ones I know.
#1: Liberal, adjective, non-political.
Stating using a large dosage of something or having mostly nonrestrictive views about issues such as sex or religion.
Example: I used a liberal amount of sugar to make those cookies. I am fairly liberal when it comes to what Church I go to. I am liberal and venturesome in the bedroom.
#2: Liberal, adjective, political.
Example:
Due to the sheer amounts of hate and propoganda floating around here, I will try to be as objective as possible.
Liberals are generally on the left side of the political spectrum. This is the same side as communists, fascists, and socialists. However, most liberals are not communists, or fascists, or socialists to any significant degree. Communism is to the far end of Liberalism. It is about the destruction of all class and property distinctions between people, like China during the Great Leap Forward. Fascism is a strong, centrist dictatorship, but is not communist. An example would be Suddam Hussein's Iraq.
See below to continue.

Socialism is the blanket term that most accurately describes what many moderate liberals believe. It is like a watered-down form of communist in it's media-presented form. However, it is not that simple. It is about the government and the people aiding one another and distributing supplies and wealth according to a system. The degree of socialism ranges strongly, from almost non-existent levels such as in ancient Rome's alimentia, which was free bread and vegetable soup to the poor. The extreme end would be Hitler's Germany, which had programs for the betterment of certain Germans. It brought the country out of WW1, but it turned essentially fascism with social security.
I think I've said enough. If you haven't figured it out already, I am a Liberal. Thats the end of part 1. I'd post more, but someone implemented limits on how long entries can be.

Get the Liberal mug.Liberal people have open minds. They don't let people tell them how they should live, who to love, and who to worship. They know how to keep the Church out of the Government. They are the most intellectual, Educated, logical people out there. The come mostly from the Democratic party. The Conservatives and Republicans fear them because they have the capacity to rule nations. Made to seem bad by the Republican party because Republican hate not having control! Liberals believe love will conquer hate and that an open mind will close hate!

Get the Liberal mug.a person that appears to prefer peaceful diplomatics and minimization of violent acts, against other countries, people, etc. They SEEM to be louder in polls and how they feel about politics. All of this is based on where I have lived, therefore I may be wrong, but I don't think so. Also, if a conservative disagrees strongly with a liberal, they refer to them as a communist.
a liberal is a person that is the political opposite of a conservative.
I have voted in 3 polls so far.
I wish Bush didn't start the War on Terror.
