Proud to be Liberal - not a screaming lemming...

Lets see what the definition of Liberal is:

4. favorable to or in accord with concepts of maximum individual freedom possible, esp. as guaranteed by law and secured by governmental protection of civil liberties.
5. favoring or permitting freedom of action, esp. with respect to matters of personal belief or expression: a liberal policy toward dissident artists and writers.
6. of or pertaining to representational forms of government rather than aristocracies and monarchies.
7. free from prejudice or bigotry; tolerant: a liberal attitude toward foreigners.
8. open-minded or tolerant, esp. free of or not bound by traditional or conventional ideas, values, etc.

So the opposite is bigotry, prejudice and persecution. A preference for an aristocracy, monarchy and totalitarianism. I am curious as to who the Tea bagger / Tea Party protests want for their King?

I do have to make a concession to the Tea bagger / Tea Party protests, I do not care for big dysfunctional government either, abusive cops, authority, cover ups, starting wars, lackeys for the corporations. I suspect that the governments failure is the direct consequence of sabotage from within, law makers purchased by the corporations looking to reduce risk and increase profits or deluded by religious fundamentalists.

Just wanted to understand what was at stake when one claims to be anti-liberal......
