Bleeding Heart Liberal

Bleeding Heart"A person who is considered excessively sympathetic toward those who claim to be underprivileged or exploited."

Liberal"Of, relating to, or characteristic of liberalism."

Liberalism" A political theory founded on the natural goodness of humans and the autonomy of the individual and favoring civil and political liberties, government by law with the consent of the governed, and protection from arbitrary authority."

So from this, we can gather that a "bleeding heart liberal" is an individual that aligns themselves with the Liberal party(aka left), and is particularly sympathetic to the underprivileged class. Oftentimes this phrase is misused to denote any far-left individual. Ironically, some far-leftist are anything but liberals at all, but most have some bleeding heart tenancies.

"That bleeding heart liberal jury let a rapist go with six years in an institution."

"The Governor got re-elected by pushing his bleeding heart liberal views, and got the sway vote from the lower-class."

Limosine Liberal

A highly liberal person (a democrat) who lives an upper-class (republican) lifestyle enabled by wealth. Holds philosophically correct liberal positions that they couldn't hold if they weren't so well protected and insulated (through their wealth and power) from the side-effects of those positions. Some common issues include: homeless rights, non-native species removal, etc.

Some Limosine Liberals are thoroughly conservative but publically liberal only in certain areas that are safe for them-- a classic example being: supporting arts organizations that present controversial art.

See: most local politicians in San Francisco, Berkeley, and Marin counties, California

Of course Holten thinks that new City housing shouldn't have parking requirements because cars are environmentally incorrect-- he's a Limosine Liberal who takes cabs everywhere.

Massachusetts College of Liberal Arts

MCLA. Small (slightly shitty, but still enjoyable) liberal arts college in North Adams, MA. Good place to start out... that's it.

Enjoy: Townhouses, Blackinton St, The Mound, Fish Pond, 24/7 Dunkin Donuts, Fort Zen, Fire Pit, 3 AM pizza deliveries and townies.

Beware: RA's, the never-ending winter, herpes, and townies.

"I go to Massachusetts College of Liberal Arts because I'm smart enough for Williams and Smith, but not poor enough for more financial aid."
