I know you've already heard this but obviously you need to hear it again. Obama's half-brother was never part of his extended family and they'd only met once in their lives. Do you help relatives you'd barely recognize if you saw them walking down the street?

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
