    Default Re: Usage of the word "Liberal"

    It's a fashion thing, the latest insult for the (mainly american) right wingers against anyone that doesn't agree with them or their esteemed leaders. It's also a way for them to explain away someone they don't agree with or like:

    "liberal, that's it he's/she's a liberal. I don't have to listen to his/her viewpoint I can safely ignore them... phew"


    They'll have a new favourite word/phrase next year, something like:

    "progressive wimps!"
