No Liberals should be people who believe in the basic Liberal principles like free speech no speech is banned no drugs should be illegal all sex is OK even with a child though I do have to say not all and small government but for some reason people who are statists call themselves liberals they are for speech that disagrees with them banned drugs to be illegal against gay marriage and big government neither of them are to do with the economics of the country that is left and right also neither are progressive or regressive or nationalist or globalist
