or, Just Plain Dumb.? Like I See This Over and Over, here on Yahoo Answers - in Both The Questions and Ans. Posted. Don't You Think some sort of Basic Standard, where These Terms, Words, Groups, having trouble making a point here.. OK for example The Word 'Republican" has Long been Recognized in American Politics or Govt. etc, to me Republican is a POLITICAL PARTY. Agree? Hell, I really don't Know the Proper "Definition" of This and I assure you Many Other Words in The English Language. So in Order to get a REAl Good Idea of This Word, Rep. which by the way is Only an EXAMPLE Word, still Hoping to Make a/My Point.. OK Players here it Seems Use, (let us stay with "Political Party's" ya know 'Labels" such as: Liberal, Conservative, Democratic, Independent, Progressive, Neo-Con, O'Reilly Always Blabbers with Terms like Seculars, Wacko-Nuts(somethin' like that) Cont.

Maxed Out up there.. To continue. I think a Word DEFINITION List would be VERY Helpful in the Q and A's.. example; like People say/Write "Why do Liberals want to See the "Terrorists" Be Victorious"? and the Baseball Cap Im sporting does a 360.!! I think, HUH ?? What the Heck is a Liberal.?? especially what the user of that Word "THINKS" , their PERSONAL Definition... Dont you agree, that a Source, that can somehow be Used, as a Guide, with a basic/Generally Acceptable LIST of DEFINITIONS .

You are right.
All the best philosophers (bless them) say.. first define your terms.
There is little point in debating with another if they have an entirely different understanding of the the term you are each using for debate.
Reading thro these pages on Answers it seems to me that for some (mainly Fox News addicts you know :"we report - you decide" -- hahaha never a bigger lie .. but so well packaged!) for them the word liberal is almost synonymous with traitor.
America has become so divided it is quite frightening- one of the best educated (sic) countries, and one which cannot distinguish fact from propaganda, Zionist propaganda from truth, Hollywood from the real World, and Bush from the Flag.
Yes lets have people define what they mean.

Language is a growing thing and personally if I had to stick to a group of pre-formed definitions here, I would leave. Part of the fun can be stretching the envelope a bit I know it can be annoying and stressful to hang out in a pond of snapping turtles with the likes of O'Reilly. It really makes no sense to even try to understand some of them. I think if you wish to clarify your own definitions and connotations, it's fine, but it would be unfair to impose that on others here.

Some of the terms i. e. , Republican, Democrat, liberal, conservative, neo-conservative change their meanings from time to time. The true, exact, definitions change. Sometimes it depends on the leader-du-jour of that group of people.
A List of such definitions would have to change as well

Not everyone fits into a single mode and to insult liberals, as opposed to Wacko-Nuts, would include many who do not deserve the insult. lol

First, you need to get your blathering under control. Then learn how to think. Then you may be ready to post a question.
