Answer 2

Liberal, city (1990 pop. 16,573) seat of Steward co., SW Kans.; founded 1888, inc. 1945. It is the trade center for a grazing farm area. Oil and natural gas are extracted, and helium is processed in the city. Meatpacking and sand and gravel are also important to the economy. The traditional International Pancake Race between the housewives of Liberal and Olney, England, is held annually on Shrove Tuesday.

Answer 3

It's very simple.
Liberals believe that more often than not - change of a certain policy or law is a good thing.
Conservatives believe that less often than not -change for a certain policy or law is a bad thing.
A Neo-Con believes they know the answer to all questions and if you disagree you are a commy, anti-american, leftist, elitist, and immoral person.

Answer 4

A liberal is a person who dismisses all traditional
moral standards so everyone can just do their own thing.
Most liberals that write in to "answers", seem to be full
of hate. It seems liberals and democrats want this Nation
to lose the war in Iraq by stopping the funding and pulling
out military out before victory has happened. Liberals
dismiss common sense and see idiotic visions of things
that never happened (911 conspiracy) which makes them
antiAmerican. Liberals want power in this Nation but they
don't care whom they run over or call names in their process.
Liberals never own up to wrongs they've done (trashing the
White House when Clintons left office; removing all the B
keys on all the computer keyboards, and stupid junk like
that). I have many more definitions, but I'll leave it at what
I've already written.

Answer 5

LIBERALS
Liberals share a belief in individual rights, free enterprise, representative democracy, and the rule of law. In this sense, almost all Americans accept liberal ideas. So much so that it is easy to forget how revolutionary these ideas were when the American Constitution was written. Thomas Jefferson said, “Peace, commerce, and honest friendship with all nations, entangling alliances with more.” All of our founding fathers considered liberalism a foundation of “the great experiment”. America since Reagan, liberalism has been colored to appear weak and elitest and our military force is used to intervene in other nations affairs.
Think liberal, think BIG.

Answer 6

You should realize that this is verbal manipulation. In the 1970's being a liberal was considered a very positive concept... Until the amoral and opportunistic conservative think tanks around Washington D.C. systematically attacked the concept of "liberal' through political and media messages.

Notice how the term "liberal" is sandwiched between negative words these days... Just like I sandwiched conservative in the paragraph above.

Today, people who believe in equality and opportunity for all identify themselves as progressives instead of liberals. Today we have self-centered, egocentric, conservative, soulless automatons who have no idea who they really are.

In the meantime, I'm doing all I can to sandwich the pugnacious "conservative" automatons in negative contexts.
