"Ever wondered how people discovering that there is a political group of people out there who are actually opposed to informing you that you have a choice, even about anything, will view that political group???"

I have thought about this quite a bit and have come to conclusion that choice is a matter of education, not necessarily academic, but investigative pursuing of a topic. Choice requires that an intelligent decision must be made about something based on factual material.

The term "liberal" with a different meaning in the US rather than GB is ambiguous and a precise definition of the term is required. I like George Lakoff's view that a liberal in inclined toward a nurturing path modeled by a nurturing parent, with a concern about humanity whereas the opposite is true of those who are not so inclined who actually model and suggest a "strict parent" approach, enabling "authoritarianism", dictatorship and anti-social behavior, such as in the philosophy of Ayn Rand.

The critics of this nurturant idea are generally in the category of "authoritarianism" and are given to ideologies that run the extreme from punitive to fascist.

For further information read Lakoff's "Moral Politics" and "Don't Think of an Elephant".
