Mine has a little different meaning but it is much better than being one of the little people where it is me,me, me all the time!!
Liberalism is an ideology, philosophy, and political tradition that holds liberty as the primary political value.[1] Broadly speaking, liberalism seeks a society characterized by freedom of thought for individuals, limitations on power, especially of government and religion, the rule of law, the free exchange of ideas, a market economy that supports relatively free private enterprise, and a transparent system of government in which the rights of minorities are guaranteed. In modern society, liberals favour a liberal democracy with open and fair elections, where all citizens have equal rights by law and an equal opportunity to succeed
Many of the me. me. me people are an abomination of poor parenting and usually can be classified as Fascist.

You do realize that there is a difference between liberal in the dictionary and being liberal in politics don't you? You define liberals as open minded yet republicans as close minded, why because republicans disagree with your viewpoint? Seems like you're the one being closed minded. Plus republicans are not against generosity they just believe that there are better ways of helping people then just giving a free hand out. There's an old saying "Give a man a fish and feed him for a day, teach a man to fish and feed him for a lifetime"

Why, yes it does... Thank You!
And by the way, the definition of Liberalism: A political theory founded on the natural goodness of humans and the autonomy of the individual and favoring civil and political liberties, government by law with the consent of the governed, and protection from arbitrary authority.
Aren't these the basic morals our country was founded on?
Just wondering...

Dude, do you realize how asinine it is to compliment yourself? What's next, give yourself a super-cool nickname?
You guys lost the last two elections and are likely to lose a third. Come back to earth. The liberal wing of the Democratic party keeps spinning farther and farther from the mainstream.

That sounds like the definition of 'liberal' in the dictionary, but a definition of liberal as in being leftist or on the right end of the spectrum. Also, different people have their own ideas of what a liberal is. And to top that off, you have people like me who feel 'in the middle', in other words, somewhat liberal, and somewhat conservative.

The only time a Liberal fits THAT definition is when he/she is giving something away that belongs to someone else. Liberals are just as greedy about their OWN belongings as Republicans are. It is easy to be liberal to give a bike away when you just stole it from the neighbor's house.

That's weird... Whenever I look up liberal in the dictionary I find a picture of Stalin, Marx, and several other dictators...

Nice try, Comrade. Everyone in tune with American politics knows that the terms "liberal" and "conservative" have been seriously twisted from their original meanings.

I bet you think your farts smell good to.
open minded is just another way of saying shut up and agree with me or go away.
By the way you sound just like a church lady doing her dance.
