What is a liberal
Reader comment on item: Welcome, Conservatives, to Pariah Status
Submitted by Georges Dellopoulos (Spain), Jan 15, 2021 at 12:26
I always thought of me of being "liberal" (with the US meaning of the word, not the European one).
However, I must say that your definition of "conservative" fits quite well to my way of life and my principles.
May I ask you what is your definition of "liberal"?
