Read all about it here.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liberalism Liberalism (from the Latin liberalis, "of freedom")[1] is the belief in the importance of liberty and equal rights.[2] Liberals espouse a wide array of views depending on their understanding of these principles, but most liberals support such fundamental ideas as constitutions, liberal democracy, free and fair elections, human rights, capitalism, free trade, and the freedom of religion.[3][4][5][6][7] These ideas are widely accepted, even by political groups that do not openly profess a liberal ideological orientation. Liberalism encompasses several intellectual trends and traditions, but the dominant variants are classical liberalism, which became popular in the eighteenth century, and social liberalism, which became popular in the twentieth century.

I don't have to read anybody's proof. I am a liberal. I think I know what I am in favor of. Ah but I was talking about those fat cat's, those lefty's in office! Barrack hussein obama! The one who's raised taxes! Not paid off any of the national debt, and has not fixed the economy at all. His stimulous was a joke. (Unless you like pork) In a debate you ussualy have proof or something you can show the other guy. Something to end any argument. I can say all liberals are cowards but if I don't have any proof and I just say I don't have to show you anything. Then I just look like a moron. |

art, its nice to know wiki definition of liberal,,
and probably websters too but we both know most of the POPULATION has very broad views of what liberal means which is what makes the label so pointless in most cases and, we both know, that when a label has within it such a BROAD range of issues , barely anyone is going to be ALL of one or the other I wonder how many labeled socially as liberal actually are in favor of ALL those things and doesnt disagree with even one? those political labels mangled the english language to keep up the 'us vs them' wars that keep americans from looking at issues as ISSUES instead of winning points |

Oh, I do hae to take exception to ne of your points. Most ignorant people actually believe that Obama raised taxes. This is the faux News syndrome. Maybe you can tell me. When did this happen? Did it get into the news? Who told you this?

Did it get into the news? Who told you this? I asked you some questions earlier. You said you don't have to show me anything. So I don't have to show you either!
