The Cycle of Liberalism

The cycle of liberalism:

"It's not happening"

"Ok, it's happening"

"It's happening but it's not that bad"

"It's happening but it's a good thing"

Latte Liberals

"Liberals" who have nothing better to do than to join fashionable causes.

This term derives from liberals who sit around and drink overpriced diluted Starbucks coffee while lamenting the plight of the poor.

Latte Liberals have no sense of discretion and usually forget what they're arguing about soon after other latte liberals judge newer causes (polygamy, discrimination against left-handers, etc.) to be more worthy.

Note contrast to cornflake conservative
New Hampshire is invaded by Latte Liberals from Vermont once every four years.

Fuck liberals

A degrading term referring to a person who has the real life perception of a Hollywood celebrity (thus they're of course an expert on global politics), coupled with the backbone of a Frenchman, and multiplied by the intelligence of a Special Olympic athlete.

Stupid liberals

...believe oil companies' profits of 4% on a gallon of gas are obscene but the government taxing the same gallon of gas at 15% isn't.

...believe the government will do a better job of spending the money they earn than they would.

...believe Freedom of speech is fine as long as nobody is offended by it.

...are way too irresponsible to own a gun, and think that the local police are all they need to protect them from murderers and thieves.

...believe that people who can't tell us if it will rain on Friday can tell us that the polar ice caps will melt away in ten years if I don't start driving a Prius.

...believe liberal judges need to rewrite the Constitution every few days to suit some fringe kooks who would never get their agendas past the voters.
Those stupid liberals voted for pie in the sky again.

limousine liberals

Wealthy people whose political beliefs are nominally on the left side of the spectrum, but tend to have a rather hypocritical view of liberal agendas, being happy to write checks but unwilling to support them once they start affecting their private schools and gated communities.
Limousine liberals are the kind that silly old saying refers to when it says "if you're not a conservative by 30 you have no brain". If you're going to be a knee-jerk NIMBY, you may as well be a conservative, no matter how you vote.

Liberalism

An ideology based on beliefs of economic and personal freedom, and the fact that social inequalities are a part of nature. (Also libertarianism to the American readers.)

A definition later to be distorted by Americans, who mainly associate "liberalism" with being left-wing on the political scale, disregarding the original and correct sense of the word.

Liberalism

Liberalism is a political philosophy-ideology favouring centrist-laissez-faire economics, willing to comprimise a bit. Additionally, liberalism advocates for the invidualist freedoms, including democratic rights. They support a democracy. Liberals are also advocate of separation of church and state, open-disscusion, Social Progressivism and centrism.
Liberalism has it's own radicalized variations, not centristic. One such radicalized variation is Libertarianism. In the US, people confuse liberals with Social democrats, democratic socialists, and anyone not a conservative. Liberals, however, differ from Social democrats in not supporting too many government funded programs, being more to the right. They are, although, willing to make comprimises with them and conservatives.
