999: "2) I am still waiting for someone to give me the working definition of liberal (presumably a name interchangeable with leftist) that keeps getting strewn around for some reason or other."

I usually call them "so-called liberals", because 'liberal' is the furthest thing from them. I find the modern day 'so-called liberals' some of the most close minded, pedantic whiners, hating, name calling spoiled little immature brats, living in a delusion of utopia around the corner, that the world has seen in centuries..if ever!!!! It's gotten so bad, that Conservatives look more liberal!!!!!
