Stop Calling Democrats 'Liberals'

[wildchild]

Would everyone please stop calling these democrats 'liberals'. There is nothing liberal about them. There is not a single liberal in the democrat party. They are authoritarian statist.

Take Obamacare for instance. What is liberal about using the tax code to coerce an individual to buy a product? What is liberal about forcing a person to provide a service that is against their conscience?

What is liberal about sending federal agents to a school, confiscating a lunch that a mom packed for her child, and forcing the child to eat something else?

Those are just two right off the top of my head. I am sure we could compile a large list.

they are liberal because they advocate a liberal use of government to solve any little problem they can think of

Politics isn't a horizontal line, it's a multidimensional matrix.

yeah, except one side always wants to tax and spend and the other side doesn't (even though that's what they all do)

That is not the definition of liberal in any dictionary I am familiar with.
