I guess you will disagree with Michael Moore too. You'd think a radical liberal like him would know a liberal when they see one. I'm guessing he would think you are one too.

The humorous thing about your months of repeatedly calling me a liberal is that you do it because you really do consider it a slur

I have called plenty of people here liberals, and none of them seem to take offense. Except for you. You just have a confused political identity. I'm here to try to guide you to your rightful place on the left as a liberal.

Oh, then you can relax, as I will repeat yet again that I am not offended, simply amused at your constant, dependable return to the subject

C'mon your comment "Obama has never been considered a "liberal", in the US. At best, center left." was post of the year material

but your refusing to say you were wrong after a preponderance of evidence was shown and correct only in your head is where I find the amusement.

He's not as liberal as I'd like.

I think people see defecit and forget that a true Liberal would be doing a lot more things that he isn't.

Who is? He cant do what you guys want because that would insure your side be out of office for a long time. And he knows it.

Where did that term come from? Seems like Progressive is a much more accurate term for the goals involved. I've always considered Liberal to be the opposite of strict. So, in that way, I think people on the right have tried to sell Liberals as being undisciplined with their kids etc. It's pretty clever. They somehow get a loose morals aspect involved. They do what they do for a reason, and that term isn't going away. I don't like the term ( not that it matters, or anything.) I think it has double meanings, and they know it. Liberal can be an adjective, or a noun. One of the definitions of it (as an adjective) is loose. So, I am not saying the Right started using the term. Someone else probably did, but don't look for them to ever give that term up. It has all the negative multiple meanings they want to involve, and they will never give that up. It's an advantage. Guess I wouldn't give it up, either (if I was them.)

it's probably similar to saying someone is 'a card carrying member of the ACLU' as tho that's akin to devil worship and animal sacrificing. altho the aclu at times may seem to take a very odd, 'wrong' side-i think for the most part they have accomplished quite a bit, and are necessary.
