To answer you question: the definition of 'liberal' hasn't changed since JFK's famous speech.... “…if by a "Liberal" they mean someone who looks ahead and not behind, someone who welcomes new ideas without rigid reactions, someone who cares about the welfare of the people -- their health, their housing, their schools, their jobs, their civil rights, and their civil liberties -- someone who believes we can break through the stalemate and suspicions that grip us in our policies abroad, if that is what they mean by a "Liberal," then I'm proud to say I'm a "Liberal." - September 14, 1960
It would be nice if today's Democrats believed this.
Liberal- Someone who is extremely generous with other people's money.
Agree or disagree?
And kudos to Romney for giving 30% of his money to charity last year. Not too shabby. Meanwhile, Obama's own brother lives in squalor in the streets of Kenya, and Obama won't give him a dime.
Yep
That and or fascist. Liberals rarely donate to causes themselves, ad they are too cheap and consider that to be the job of the "government" , not them. Further, liberals are opposed to fee speech and individual rights and are more akin to fascists.

It doesn't matter what today's Democrats believe any more. They have made their bed for the last four (actually six) years. And now they are going to have to lie in it... out of office, starting in January 2013.

I agree, but on the same hand, conservatives are very generous with borrowing money and giving it away as well.
The Republican Party is dying and only becoming the true lunatic party, even you're own party members see that the party is falling to crap. The Democratic Party is the party of the people, but it needs to remember that it can't take care of everyone as it tries to do. "Liberals" not necessarily democrats are generally wealthier than conservatives, so I can't see how any of you can speak on our beliefs on wealth. In fact the wealthiest people in this nation (Bill Gates, Warren Buffett, Etc) all identify more with the democrats/liberals rather than conservatives. The wealthiest states (MD, NJ, CT, etc) in the nation are liberal grounds, so liberals don't believe that non-sense about working three jobs means your wealthy; instead we believe that if someone such as a single mother is working two or three jobs she deserves more of a break (in the forms of lower taxes, welfare, etc) rather than Bill Gates.
And don't speak on generosity with other people's money, when YOUR conservative politicians are asking for a additional $2 TRILLION to the Pentagon who hasn't even requested it, yet they want to cut education, social security, medicare, etc. And yes Romney has to mandatorily give the Mormon Church charity, if I'm not mistaken he was a pastor for a Mormon Church at one point so of course the amount of charity he gives is much higher in both percentage and actual cash opposed to most of us.
Liberals have stuck with their philosophy, conservatives are straying further and further away from theirs, so lets not play that game.
