Are you seriously saying you don't

know what a "liberal" is, politically speaking?
A liberal is OPEN MINDED, and thinks OUTSIDE the box. A liberal is tolerant. That means "PC" language is not something to be denigrated or dismissed as inconvenient; it is second nature because of the way we think about, and treat, other people who are different from us.
A liberal believes in LIVE AND LET LIVE - meaning we don't stand in judgement of those with different ideas, lifestyles, beliefs. If you are not harming me or others or animals/environment, (not breaking the law) what you do with your life is YOUR choice and not something for me to judge OR LEGISLATE.
Liberals believe in SEPARATION BETWEEN CHURCH AND STATE: Our nation WAS founded on the principles of freedom OF religion and that means the freedom to have NO religion should one so choose.
Liberals believe in the Constitution which is currently in shreds in the GRAYHOUSE... that means rights to PRIVACY, FREEDOMS LIKE SPEECH and assembly, etc.
I'll let another liberal add their definition, because the above is not a complete list.
ONE WORD ABOUT CONSERVATIVES: A true conservative is respected by liberals - what is running under the GOP are despicable men with a platform of hate and intolerance and only too willing to BANKRUPT us to advance their imperialist agenda...
The last thing is something the DEMOCRATS have in common: BOTH SUPPORT U.S. HEGEMONY. Which is why there are NO TRUE liberals in the Democratic party.
