Get the Liberal mug.
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)

"We must embrace a liberal economic agenda or the minorities in our society will never be equal"

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.
John Kerry flip flopped like a screwball and couldn't make up his damn mind and so the people could see that Jerry Lewis would make a better president than dumbass John Kerry!

ok i'm sure that some liberals are pot smoking hippies but if all pot smoking hippies were liberals that would mean hyde would also be one along with all of the other people on that 70's show (dont worry, i know that this show is ficticious) however i am a liberal also and i do not worship john kerry or any other politician for that matter you people are really stupid if you think that we do it seems more like the conservatives worship bush and his family. so i guess you think we are hippies because we give a thought to the environment hmmm riiite yea we suck so much because we dont want everyone to painfully die from the suns rays. not

Nationalist: I'm so glad we liberated those Iraqis!
Socialist: Yeah, the more people we liberate the fewer hate us.
Nationalist: Isn't it great how that works out?
Socailist: If I'm ever liberated, I'm going to come back from the dead and liberate you back for not getting my sarcasm.
