Skeptic; those definitions of "liberal" sound fine to me.

These days, if you are in any way not in favor of an all-out war effort in the face of the attacks on New York and Washington, you are seen as "un-American," or a "bleeding heart liberal" or a "Commie" or a "coward" or a "trust fund brat" or a "peacenik" or any number of insulting labels I have heard hurled at people who are somehow capable of holding two or more contradictory thoughts in their heads at one time...

"Liberal" is somehow seen as "against the war" these days and I do not see how something like this (this tragic event and our varied responses to it) can be reduced to petty matters like political affiliation but there it is...it is also distrubing to me that people are exploiting these events to make a profit, or to further their own political agendas...
