Technically, Liberalism is at the center of the political spectrum. In UK politics, this position is championed by the Liberal Democrat Party. However, in the US, 'Liberal' is often used to describe members of the Democratic Party, despite the Democratic Party occupying the socialist area of the spectrum, much like the Labour Party.
UK:
Jack: Which party do you support?
John: Lib Dem.
Jack: So you're a Liberal?
John: Yep.
US:
Jack: Which party do you support?
John: Democrat.
Jack: So you're a Liberal?
John: No, I'm a socialist.
Jack: Which party do you support?
John: Lib Dem.
Jack: So you're a Liberal?
John: Yep.
US:
Jack: Which party do you support?
John: Democrat.
Jack: So you're a Liberal?
John: No, I'm a socialist.

Liberate your mind
You motherfucker, you're so narrow-minded
So narrow-minded
Liberate your mind
Now motherfucker, will you liberate your mind
This time
Bold motherfucker
Don't limit your mind
Can't you see that the pace
Has fallen behind
All the hate in your heart
Will be leaving you blind
So bold motherfucker
Don't you limit your mind
This time
Waiting, for your modern messiah
To take away all the hatred
That darkens the light in your eye
Still awaiting, I.
"Out of Zion shall come forth a law
And the word of the Lord from Jerusalem
Nation shall not raise sword against nation
And they shall not learn war anymore
For the mouth of the Lord hath spoken"
Waiting, for your modern messiah
To take away all the hatred
That darkens the light in your eye
Still awaiting, I.

5 The VILE person shall be no more called LIBERAL, nor the churl said to be bountiful.
6 For the VILE person will speak VILLANY, and his heart will work INIQUITY, to practice hypocrisy, and to utter error against the LORD, to make empty the soul of the hungry, and he will cause the drink of the thirsty to fail.
7 The instruments also of the churl are EVIL: he deviseth wicked devices to destroy the poor with lying words, even when the needy speaketh right.
8 But the LIBERAL deviseth liberal things; and by liberal things shall he stand.

Rev. John Stott (in Basic Christianity) has said: “The great tragedy in the church today is that evangelicals are Biblical but not contemporary, while <b>liberals</b> are contemporary but NOT Biblical. We need faithfulness to the ancient word and sensitivity to the modern world.”
I think it’s important for Christians to use aspects of contemporary culture if they are serious about beginning a dialogue with NON-Christians/Liberals.

a group of people who place names on people such as homophobics, calls every republican either a white trash hillbilly who doesn't know better or a super rich stuck up snob who hates the poor and wants to take their money which doesn't make any sense when you think about it...why take the poors money? They have barely any money? There poor? Liberals can be any person who belives in their views...no one puts a name on them like they do to the conservatives. Liberals own all of the media and control all of it which isnt a bad thing its just that the news on TV is extremely biased. Democrats are fine in my opinon its just the extreme liberals that can hurt the country in my opinion.

Well-off college students that live with their parents and have never held an actual job before (outside of "food manufacturing"). They usually major in communications, sociology, art, film, woman's studies, English, or any other major that doesn't actually require any actual effort or provides a degree you can actually start a career with outside of McDonalds.
The average liberal has read an average of 7 pages from a Noam Chomsky book and has watched 2 or 3 Michael Moore documentaries (usually while baked, how else could you watch Moore?), and thus have declared themselves to be all-knowing and all-seeing about everything. Most hardly ever read a newspaper regularly or have done actual scholarly research. They typically believe that music lyrics are a legitimate source of information.
If you disagree with liberals, they will accuse you of being a racist (even if the topic at hand has nothing to do with race), or will resort to what is known as "guilt-mongering" (it's YOUR fault that Christopher Columbus murdered millions of natives 500 years ago, as an example).

Hey look at those liberal film-majors with their $300 IPods their parents bought them and holding their $5 frappo lattes preaching about how "oppressed" they are in the US. I like their red/olive green Che Guevara t-shirts. It goes well with the Napoleon Dynamite-afros they all have.
