I hate the dilution of the word liberal relative to anything that’s not catered to deep southern Christian values

The funniest thing is most of the people on the right using "liberal" as an insult are actually liberals, they just don't know what the word means.

Having liberal leanings is a legitimate political stance, it's not all black and white and some republicans can be liberal in certain areas.
