Okay, I will offer you my observation of the term liberal.
#1 You oppose anyone that made money by selling people what they need, while you applaud people that get rich selling them what they want.
a) You think that items that people need should be free for the taking, even if the provider had to dedicate a significate amount of time and money to be able to provide the good or service.
#2 You judge political figures by what they claim they are trying to accomplish, instead of the results they actually achieve.
a) It is just fine if they never keep a single promise, or solve a single problem, as long as they continue to be 'sincere' about being there to help.
#3 You consider personal freedom the right to make others pay for your retirement because you were too busy wasting your income on pleasure seeking. But the man that worked al his life to have retirement money should not get this benefit.

How to spot 'liberal media':
#1 You can watch a news story and have no idea what actually happened, but intimately know the reporters opinion of it. (All testimonial, no facts).
#2 Entertainers are for some reason experts on political situations, like they even live in our world...
#3 Feelings and popularity are very important. Facts are pretty much ignored.


Bonus: They use standard catch phrases to dispute arguements like you did in your last post, rather than actually dispute any logic.
