Ignorant freedom-haters who don't think it's worth their time to read up on "the facts". They think that killing soon-to-be babies is right and that noone should have at least a chance at life, no matter how bad it may be. They all praise their pagan forest god Al Gore, whose house emits ten times as many greenhouse gases as a normal house. During the Civil War, they supported slavery against the newly formed Republican party, which was against slavery. Many American liberals cannot speak proper English, either speaking in a completely incoherent "big city" accent, or like they think that they're a rapper. Many value material objects and sex over anything else, and others think that everyone who doesn't think their way should be shot. A common profession among liberals is that of the drug dealer.

When a fart can't escape safely past your butt cheeks then begins an exodus by climbing your cheeks to the small of your back to the promised land and freedom. Usually when sitting in cramped conditions.

An annoying, college aged hipster that objects to all traditions, and thinks that most flags are racist.
Conservative: “Puts up Gadsden flag in yard”
Annoying Liberal Next door: OMG that flag is so anti feminist, anti gay and racist! I though racism was extinct!!

Initially associated with a philosopy of personal liberty and self reliance, protected by Libretatrian and democratic government, mainly defined as such in the years 1750-1963 (Ending upon the death of John F. Kennedy)
Currently signifies, at least in western democracies, a dedication to what was previously known as socialism, with chief tenets including Government provided healthcare and education, along with mild to heavy redistribution of wealth through "Progressive" taxes based upon income. Also generally associated with the moral relativism and supposed "nonjudgementalism" of American celebrities, Secular Statesman in Europe and a whole range of other "Progressives" who criticize the current system of regulated capitalism in place in the United States. To be fair to liberals, though their economic ideas appeal especially to those within the so called "Progressive" community, the semi-socialist modern liberalism is a seperate entity from the relativists, nonjudgementalists and general haters of western civilisation and its norms(See Noam Chomsky, Michael Moore, Oliver Stone, Barbara Streisand, etc)

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.
