I don't want to get into an argument about semantics, but liberal does not mean right wing.

It isn't about pleasing them or playing by their rules. It's about not giving them ammo to shoot your comrades.

Well, the said liberals have defunded schools, hospitals, trains, retirement and anyknd of welfare here in the name of "being opened to new ideas", so it's a bit more than semantics. Sorry, I don't want to be associated with liberalism.

Liberal bourgeois are a significant political force since the French revolution - and always opposed people. It is and always was about the freedom of industry barrons and nothing else.

Liberal ≠ liberalism. I've had to explain this so many damn times in this thread it's beginning to make me nutty.

Look at the definition above. Those are leftist ideals, very different from those who are American Liberalism fanatics.

It's because you're using liberal as in, "wow that was a really liberal amount of gravy," synonymously with liberal as in, "a supporter of a political and social philosophy that promotes individual rights, civil liberties, democracy, and free enterprise."

Hey man, I don't fuck with gravy, I'm vegan. That's how leftist and liberal I am.

You know you can make gravy from vegetable stock, right?
