Gay marriage is, I agree, not a Marxist issue, though most Marxists are on the the side of gay marriage. But the converse is not true, I agree. (I'm in favor of gay monogamy too, and I'll punch anyone who calls me a liberal or a Marxist in the mouth.)

Your "conservative" friends who label you a liberal because of your libertarian stance on gay marriage are guilty of sloppy phrasing.

In the case of Lieberman, who is an avatar of the Third Way movement, there is no doubt he is a socialist. Just consider his fellow traveler Tony Blair. Now, no one is more grateful than I am for Blair's steadfastness in the War on Terror. But the man is not just a leading exponent of Third Way, he is a socialist, in fact a Vice President of the Presidium of Socialist International. Anyone who touts "Third Way" or "progressive" as their philosophy is a socialist, plain and simple. That would include Bill and Hillary Clinton... and Lieberman.

You hit it on the head with this. Problem is today we don't attack that. We accept the terminology due to Political Correctness.

My favorite is Pro-Choice. Everyone is pro-choice. It is just what we choose. Conversely, the left isn't pro-choice and are using the phrasing as a way to suppress choice.

Funny game.
