What does being a "Liberal" mean? (US)

[BigV]

mercy, you're elusive because you just don't stay on topic. you don't have any compunctions against conflating the most disparate and irrelevant statements. you do this all the time. I want to keep up, but you don't talk in a straight line, with contiguous thoughts. It's frustrating because I bet you have some good ideas, not all the good ideas of course, but the ones you probably have are practically impossible to discern. If I thought you were just being deliberately difficult or nuts, I'd ignore you--I don't think those things.

So, for example, how would you reply to F+B's question? I read your post, it's practically a non-sequitor.
