http://www.azstarnet.com/sn/attack/135159.phpMIAMI — American presence in Iraq is more dangerous to world peace than nuclear threats from North Korea or Iran, Rep. John Murtha, D-Pa., said to an audience of more than 200 in North Miami Saturday afternoon.
Mr. Murtha just said goodbye to his remaining credibility!!!

what i'd like to see is a working definition of "Liberalism" from now on.
since it's obvious that most of you who throw the term around like Limbaugh does as the ultimate pejorative have even less clue about it than you do about the the meaning of "conservative". but, if you want to let the media determine the content of your mind and all the while decry the media all the same....then that's your "choice".
liberal - one who disagrees with Tuba.
Where have you been !?!
You tell me it's the institution. Well, you know, you'd better free your mind instead.

It's a good thing being a ********* isn't a disorder, otherwise we'd have to install handrails and ramps on the board.

Okay, I'll try. Liberals are folks who believe government's role is to enact laws which drive social change and in so doing make society better while making sure no one suffers from want.
Conservatives believe if government would kindly tend to the business of defending the country and keeping up the roads and stay the heck out of the way, the social advancement stuff would take care of itself just like it has for a thousand years through entrepreneurship, private innovation and private charitable activities.
Gross generalizations to be sure, but that's the best I can do with 5 minutes notice.
Oh yeah, most people are liberal until either a) they acquire some property b) they hit 30 or c) they get mugged, raped or robbed.
You're welcome.
"Discourage litigation. Persuade your neighbors to compromise whenever they can. Point out to them how the nominal winner is often a real loser; in fees, expenses and waste of time." -- Abraham Lincoln, (1809-1865) Lawyer and President who saved the United States.
"Without opportunities on the part of the poor to obtain expert legal advice, it is idle to talk of equality before the law"-- Justice Chas. Evans Hughes
that's a decent ("fair and balanced" FOX style) rendition of contemporary usage, but has nothing to do with historical definitions.
WTF does that mean? Okay, yes, strictly speaking, the United States is a "liberal democracy." In the US, the liberals are the Democrats. The GOP are the Conservatives. Libertarians (to which the older and wiser I get, the more I lean) are right of the GOP on some stuff, left of the Dems on other stuff.
Liberals in the UK are roughly equivalent to moderate Dems and Repubs here. Brit "Labour Party" members are socialists. "Conservatives" in the UK are just a smidge left of Goldwater Republicans.
Is that better?

Not bad... and not all that misrepresentative of the political spectrum as we understand it today.
I always though an unhealthy obsession was a mental disorder.

i thought we were a constitutional republic?
As a general rule, however, many SO posters subscribe to the Humpty Dumpty school of language: "When I use a word," [insert name of poster here] said, in a rather scornful tone, "it means just what I choose it to mean, neither more nor less." Communication suffers, sure, but nobody is ever wrong!

I challenge your use of the word "communication" here.
"The choices we discern as having been made in the Constitutional Convention impose burdens on governmental proceses that often seem clumsy, inefficient, even unworkable, but those hard choices were consciously made by men who had lived under a form of government that permitted arbitrary governmental acts to go unchecked."

Liberal = anyone who disagrees with a knee-jerk war-mongering me-first conservative = communist.
Conservative = anyone who disagrees with a pansy-a$$, welfare-loving, tree-hugging liberal = fascist.
Everyone else is a weak fence-sitter with no moral compass at all.
Damn, we all deserve to be horsewhipped.
