    I always hear this, but it doesn’t make sense to me. To me it sounds like we define liberals differently. What specific stances make a liberal right of center? I would like to know we’re defining the word the same way.

      I’ve thought of it this way, a liberal is a master being giving liberally the treats they shower their workers with to keep them happy and productive. A leftist believes in the class consciousness struggle and that human rights are innate and not something handed down from masters.

          Then Google it. I gave you an overview of the two political philosophies. It’s not my job to educate you if you don’t like the answers you get.

            You weren’t even the person I was originally asking the question of. You went out of your way to give an answer that didn’t answer my question, and then you get upset at me for what you did?
