I must remark that the fact is very simple that a liberal is not a designation for a human being. The fact is that they are liberal minded and not a liberal anything. They are not liberals in the same sense that you are not a screwer of light bulbs. You are a person who may screw in a light bulb.
So if I can detract from the ingrained heresy of the especially radical right of our towns and vicinity, the real way to talk about liberalism is to denote that someone is liberal minded rather than a liberal.
And the same goes for the conservative minded Americans. You can be quaint and say they are conservatives, but in truth they are conservative minded.
So if you want to give to the radical destructive minds on the right, keep calling people liberals. You will not be a proper spoken person and you will simply be in fact endorsing a system which does in fact offer itself to a radical way of patronizing the established proper order of mankind by segregating it into one group or another. In effect, we all can be both conservative and liberal minded in many of the situations we encounter and one modality does not in fact negate or trump the other.
