Liberalism

A broad collection of ideologies which share the importance of protecting individual liberty and the consent of the governed at their core. Liberalism originated from the philosophies of enlightenment thinkers such as Locke and Voltaire, and is based heavily on the social contract theory. Liberalism today manifests itself in many different forms, ranging from Libertarian ideas which state that the government must interfere little in private affairs, to Social/Progressive/Modern Liberalism which holds that the government must step in to protect "positive freedoms" such as the right to an education in order for all people to have the platform needed to achieve liberty. Liberalism is neither left wing nor right wing because of this wide variety.
Barack Obama is an adherent of the forms of liberalism which place emphasis on positive freedoms.

libradita

Not for the faint hearted. Very wild, she's someone you can't physically get bored around. She also happens to be extremely gorgeous but never admits it or takes compliments. Very odd, but only in good way. She's that girl that you assume is out of your league , but really is just a shy cute teddy bear on the inside. She usually goes by Libby because she's insecure about her name. Has an amazing sense of fashion and can pull off every outfit including sweats. If you ever meet a Libradita, wife her up immediately.
" did you see Libradita just walk by?"
"Yeah dude she blew my mind, I will never find another girl as perfect as her"

Liberalism is supposed to be, imho, defined as morally bankrupt, socio-culturally perverted, historically inaccurate, genetically unpatriotic, psychologically manipulative, medically unfit, educationally failed, mentally hypocritical, professionally dysfunctional, religiously sinful, pathologically conniving, financially insolvent, legally criminal and, above all else, sexually amoral
