Don’t you see what the Liberals have done to this country?

We cannot support any Liberal anywhere!

I have to wonder what the word liberal means in the context of Libya. In Europe conservative and liberal have nearly the exact opposite meaning they have here in the US. If that is the case in Libya liberals in control is a good thing. Liberals would not be hard line Islamic extremists, they would be the ones promoting liberty.

Unfortunately the meaning of the word "liberal" got badly twisted in the U.S. in the 1970s-1980s, which is why I never use it -"leftist" is a much better word for people to use to describe what they usually call "liberals" here.

I admire Reagan greatly, but this largely was his doing.

Liberals are a (coalition) in a different context in Islamic nations than they are in Western nations with a foundation in Christianity and European culture.

I dare say that in the Islamic nations we would be (extreme) liberals.
