First, you need to define 'liberal' - and slapping the label on political positions to which you object is not the way to do it.

Can you define liberal, outside the context of contemprary political hot buttons?

In 1915, you'd have been posting some nonsense such as "a liberal is someone who thinks women should have the right to vote."

In the mid 1800's you'd have been posting "a liberal is someone who thinks niggers should be allowed to own property (or vote even!)"

First we have to separate the terms 'liberal' and 'conservative' from the political entities "Democrat" and "Republican"

A "conservative" is one who wants to maintain the status quo; a liberal is one who wants changes, which are usually social. There have been liberal Republicans and conservative Democrats.

Your latest cut-and-paste tirade would find a mix of Republican and Democrats agreeing with any given line item; for instance, there are lots of Republicans against Iraqnam. You're attempting to impugn them with the color of 'liberal' (as if it were a bad thing) because they haven't signed onto your chickenhawk NeoCon agenda.
