Liberalism as we knew it is dead. Much like how Nazis destroyed the concept of socialism and the Soviets destroyed the concept of communism. These leftists have forever turned liberalism into an oppressive ideology. That judges people by the color of their skin rather the content of their character...
Liberalism has become a racist ideology...

Perspectives like yours is how we can bring everyone back to the table and find our common ground and save humanity in its darkest hour.

The perpetual tug of war between progressives and conservatives has made it apparent that neither side know the direction they wish to pull us.

I think you're on to something. We need to define what a liberal and a conservative is. What are ten things you stand for if your conservative or a liberal. What is important?
Not stereotypical. like all Liberals want to take all guns away, raise taxes, protect the environment, offer free college and all conservatives want to shrink government, lower taxes, allow guns to everyone, increase military spending and put the ten commandments in every court house and ban abortion.
Is that all we're about anymore? That's why I'm an independent. It allows you to want to protect the environment and own a gun and want lower taxes...all at the same time, while allowing gay marriage and wanting term limits on congressmen. LOL
Throughout the rest of the world and history, "liberal" and "liberalism" have different meanings. Things such as freedom of speech, separation of church and state, free markets, free inquiry, individualism, and so on, are markedly liberal ideals.
