Based on definition 2 a-c of the noun of Liberalism, I can't understand the Right wing hatred of Liberalism. I guess it's because they don't actually understand it's meaning.

You really believe THIS / THESE 'definitions' of 'liberal' still apply to the ones who CALL themselves 'liberal' today ... ? Sorry - that's SO wrong ... 'Progressive' / 'Socialist' / 'Marxist' / 'Leninist' / 'Stalinist' / 'Maoist' ... all are correct descriptors for what TRY to pass themselves off today as 'liberal' ... The sad part is that 'liberal' actually once had a positive meaning - no longer ...

What does sexually liberated have to do with romance?

NOTHING ... That's what's so great about it ...

Every Lady likes a lil romance. Besides I just jumped in to mess with all you serious political peeps

Go ahead and rub it in my face all you want!

You are right, they have made up definitions for it.

I don't agree completely with liberals all the time but I do not see them as harmful to America.

I believe the right wing extremists to be much more harmful to our freedoms in this country.

A lot of "Liberals" take it to mean spending other people's money liberally for every humanitarian cause to cross their path.

Bohemians were once thought of to be liberal but these days Bohemian means something different from back at the turn of the 1900s.

Now "liberal" is tossed more than a salad at anything political.


So what exactly is in between the Right Wing and the Left Field?

A lot of conflicting political interests?

Stupidity would be charming if only it had better manners.

- Anonymous

Although I wouldn't call it stupidity because stupidity is subjective and also it is an allowed prejudice used against people in a manner meant to be degrading.

I would call it misguided.
I would call it words and actions coming from a place of not knowing what they are talking about.
I would call it traditions carried over from time when humans were less human and more animalistic.
I would call it fearmongering for control.
I would call it hatemongering to dehumanize.
Etc....

Yeah...it's called "election year"..tho~ this is mo' nasty with the racist element involved...and too, a lot of what you see over and over here are just political shills...the ones who have no mental spine in public. It's not misguided when it's planned and actioned. You could say that they're "full of shill" and intend to Say Anything to support a Just Say No agenda in their shrinking little party that remains the representation of Big Corporation and Big Pollution.

Liars for the rich and haters for brainless herds.

"It never got weird enough for me" HST.

Blah blah blah....you "liberals" are gonna lose big time soon!!

Liberate me please!
