Reply #50: When libeals won't even admit they're liberal ...

... then, what else should we expect. Obama himself has almost never used the word liberal and has never explained to people what liberalism is. Liberalism has been defined by conservatives as an ideology that's not unlike communism, is economically insane, wants to take everyone's rights away, etc. Until some leading liberal starts explaining and defending liberalism, as Reagan did with conservativism, liberalism will remain unpopular, even though many people who claim they are not liberal are in fact liberal.
