Well that's because the left hijacked it. See - every time society figures out what the left really is and what they are about - they "rebrand" themselves. They started out as Marxists in the late 1800's. Once society figured out how evil and disturbing marxism was, they switched to "communists". Once society figured out how evil and disturbing communism was, they switched to "progressives". Once society figured out how evil and disturbing progressivism was, they switched to "socialists". Once society figured out how evil and disturbing socialism was, they pulled their most hilarious one yet and branded themselves as "liberals" (as if the left wants anything to do with liberty). Now that the left has destroyed liberalism, we can expect a new moniker over the next decade or so.If you're talking about your reality-forget it. Too many history books in the library and I've read too many to be swayed by people on these boards that cannot even define liberal, or else define it to fit their politics.
