Can a person be too liberal?

yes, too much of something ain't good. i'd say... balance.

Other than someone who is incredibly biased, factually incorrect, and needlessly divisive, she wouldn't be too bad. Well, there's also the deliberately provocative use of emotionally charged words, as well. \nBut she seems to fulfill the need of some to demean anyone who she decides to label as liberal, right or wrong.

If you used the dictionary definition of a liberal, most conservatives would want to be liberals, or would think they already are liberals:\n\n"marked by generosity and openhandedness, broad-minded, tolerant, bountiful, munificent" and so forth.  All except the part "lacking moral restraint, licentious" applies equally to conservatives.\n\nGood question, because I don't think a liberal defines himself the way a conservative defines a liberal.  And vice versa.

Because sometimes being liberal means being extreme without thinking of the consequences that will follow.

The limitations are the intelligence, wisdom, and honesty of the liberalisator.The thing to watch out about is how far to go. You don't want chaos and anarchy. You want organization and public peace, while granting maximum personal freedoms to responsible people.

To a liberal, there is no difference. Just look at them a way they don't like and the politically-correct, overly-sensitive morons will consider you both!

There is nothing wrond with being liberal, its the opposite of conservative...  Liberal covers the entire left side of the political spectrum - it's generic for people who believe in individualism, freedom, equality, the social contract and rational evidence-based (as opposed to morality-based) public policy but often disagree on the application of these principles.

Liberal is the abolition of  regulation so that a person could do what he wants.

I too can tell a liberal just by the way they act...they have a hate basis for anything they don't agree with while paying lip service to "tolerance".  The way they act is so child-like.  What they don't understand is that they are attempting to take away all the rules in our country...commit crime....let them out,  marry same sex...there is nothing perverted about that....be a pedophile,,,,it's ok, you were born that way.....and down with religion, esp Christian because it is evil to have a higher power say that anything is wrong.   It is a child-like existance in a world of theory...global warming, abortion, gun control etc. etc. I wish we could cut the country in half and live in the conservative half!!!

I was just talking with a friend about this yesterday. And we can't figure it out either. Being open minded means that you will listen seriously to someone else's opinion without judging them ahead of time. You still may not agree with them, but at least you took time to consider what they say. That's what I describe as open minded. Very often, people who are on the extreme ends of the political spectrum (conservative and liberal) will say they are open minded when they really are not. I think people in the middle of the road tend to be more open minded because they listen to both sides and make a decision based on a variety of opinions.\n\nI have liberal friends who claim to be open minded, but they don't allow conservatives to have their say. They automatically close down and won't listen seriously, especially if the speaker is working for a corporation, or is a conservative Christian, etc. On the other hand, I have conservative friends who do the same. They get their opinions from Ann Coulter and Rush Limbaugh and they don't want to listen to Michael Moore, for example.\n\nI don't understand this at all. You can't be open minded unless you let down your guard, stop protecting your existing point of view, and listen to what people who disagree with you have to say.

That's a big Yes. \n\nAnd before you jump on me about it, I was a liberal, but i got better.

Well, I consider myself moderate- leaning conservative, but I don't think there's a problem with having the liberal point of view.  There's nothing wrong with being conservative or liberal, but no matter where you are on the spectrum, there is something wrong with intolerance toward another person's point of view.\n\nI will agree that there are some on both sides that are an embarrassment both to their ideologies, as well as the United States.  But remember that single events (such as Jane Fonda's trip to Hanoi during the Vietnam War) may not be characteristic of all people holding that point of view.\n\nI would like to close with two of my favorite quotes regarding differing ideologies:\n     1.  I may not agree with what you have to say, but I would fight to the death for your right to say it.\n     2.  Just because we don't see eye to eye doesn't mean we can't stand side by side.\n\n\nI hope this helps.

Certainly. I don't align myself to any particular political demographic. Some of my views can be liberal and some conservative, democratic, republican, or other. I never could understand why anyone would want to be "pigeon-holed" in any sort of demographic description. I pay my taxes, abide by the law, and don't need to be so one-dimensional.

I agree with you, I do not want to live near liberals. I feel like they think they are better than others. They would like the government to take care of everyone who does not take personal resposibility for thier lives. They can not accept that life is not fair and the world is a dangerous place. thier answer is make every one else live by strict pc rules except for them. they are a joke.

I have found most teachers to be liberal (at least most reflective teachers).  The term liberal can be misunderstood though.  For example, considering someone from New England a liberal would not be the same thing as considering someone from the South a liberal.  I believe they are more liberal than the general population, but if that population is extremely conservative (like in the south) then I don't know if you could technically call those people liberal.

I completely agree with you. I think people focus too much on being for or against certain political parties and less about being for or against a particular candidate based on that candidate's stance on certain issues.
