Excellent!! Another new troll appearance.
1) You obviously have a dearth of knowledge about the meaning of the word "liberal." I will provide knowledge, and you will be surprised to discover that the usage of the word by Rush, Hannity, or whatever other mouth-breather you worship does not comport with the common English usage. The following definition is an introductory passage from Wikipedia, which, though simple, is adequate for our purposes here today:
Liberalism is a broad array of related ideas and theories of
government that consider
individual liberty to be the most important political goal.<sup id="cite_ref-0" class="reference">
[1]</sup> Modern liberalism has its roots in the
Age of Enlightenment.
Liberalism emphasizes
individual rights and equality of opportunity. Different forms of liberalism may propose very different policies, but they are generally united by their support for a number of principles, including extensive
freedom of thought and
speech, limitations on the power of governments, the
rule of law, the free exchange of ideas, a
market or
mixed economy, and a
transparent system of government.<sup id="cite_ref-1" class="reference">
[2]</sup> All liberals — as well as some adherents of other political ideologies — support some variant of the form of government known as
liberal democracy, with open and fair elections, where all citizens have equal rights by law.<sup id="cite_ref-2" class="reference">
[3]</sup>
Liberalism rejected many
foundational assumptions that dominated most earlier theories of government, such as the
Divine Right of Kings, hereditary status, and
established religion.
Social progressivism, the belief that traditions do not carry any inherent value and social practices ought to be continuously adjusted for the greater benefit of humanity, is a common component of liberal ideology. Liberalism is also strongly associated with the belief that human society should be organized in accordance with certain unchangeable and inviolable
rights. Different schools of liberalism are based on different conceptions of human rights, but there are some rights that all liberals support to some extent, including rights to life, liberty, and property.
________________________________
As you can see, describing a person, or an ideal, as "liberal" is actually quite a compliment. Liberalism, as you can see, is the very bedrock of what this country was founded on. I hope you are able to accept this knowledge in the spirit with which it was intended, and are able to put it to beneficial use in all your future endeavors.
You're welcome.
Carry on. . . .
