This is the intro to the Wikipedia article on "American Liberalism":

"American liberalism—that is, liberalism in the United States of America—is a broad political and philosophical mindset, favoring liberty, and opposing restrictions on liberty, whether they come from established religion, from government regulation, from the existing class structure, or from multi-national corporations. "

I contend that this is an absurd definition. American Liberalism has liberty mostly as its casualty, not its goal. Thoughts?
