To be a true "liberal", you have to buy into one or more of the liberal philosophies (ie; abortion rights. feminism, environmentalism, animal rights, global warming, tax cuts being only for the rich, etc).
I see where you are going with that, but I think that in general there are a lot of self-defined liberals who would not accept that definition any more than most conservatives would define themselves by the following philosophies: (1) If it ain't in the bible then either its wrong or its redundant; (2) freeing black people was a mistake, let's either reenslave them or ship 'em back to Africa; (3) a good tree is a dead tree, let's pave America from sea to shining sea with asphalt - etcetera.
BTW - you think "tax cuts being only for the rich" is a liberal viewpoint? I thought they wanted to tax the rich.

Any possibility you could take your brain out of reverse & try first gear?

"Tax CUTS being only for the rich" IS what the Liberals accuse us of, so yes, THEY want to tax the rich, don't they?

(2) freeing black people was a mistake, let's either reenslave them or ship 'em back to Africa

Correct me, if I'm wrong, but weren't the Northerners supposed to be the "Free the slaves" Republican bunch while the Southerners were the DEMOCRAT Slave Owners?
