>'Liberal' is not a bad or offensive word. It is just like 'conservative'. The current US Administration, which is not 'conservative' but 'neocon' - something different, has sought to demonize the word 'liberal' as if it was some kind of disgusting disease or something. Don't believe it. It is just a political and social position.
Yes, that was more or less what I gathered - that it was
used offensively, without it being in itself a bad word.
Difference in opinions hath cost many millions of lives: for instance, whether flesh be bread, or bread be flesh; whether whistling be a vice or a virtue; whether it be better to kiss a post, or throw it into the fire... (from Gulliver's Travels)
