Define "Liberal".

I know conservatives love some kinds of control, and centrist/leftist parties love other kinds of control. Swinging from one to the other gets you both, not neither.

The Liberal Party of Canada

Liberal is basically equivalent to Centrist.

"Liberal" is anything that "Conservatives" don't like, and vice-versa. To each, the other is "The Devil Incarnate". They're just the two sides of the same extremist political cultist coin.

Edit: Yeah, I guess I shoulda expected the downvotes on this one. Too many folks I guess just ain't old enough to remember when both ends of the political spectrum presented themselves as a bit more sane than they do these days.
