Because free speech definitely means we can exclude some people.
Stop whining because it hurts your petty feelings, libtards. |

| In fact, "liberalism" is the complete opposite of what OP is implying. It's the advancement of social rights. |

@Xc
Didn't you used to be on OT if I remember correctly?
Anyway, liberals advance social rights but seek to do so by completely removing the rights of people who disagree with them. |

Then that isn't liberalism. That's authoritarianism. Please stop misusing words with different definitions. If I pointed to a boat and said "Oh, look! It's a car!" would I be correct? |

| No, european usage of liberal is far closer to the american usage. Classical liberals are the staunchest supporters of freedom and social advancements. |

I would prefer you to just use "authoritarianism" because then wherever you got that definition, it's been used incorrectly, and people mistake you saying "liberals" for not "american liberals". |

Understand that the psuedo-socialist progressives use liberal as a buzzword instead of actually defining themselvas as is. |

@Xc,
'Liberal' refers to a broad spectrum of political ideology.
One of those ideas, a very popular one at that, is Socialism. |

"One of those ideas, a very popular one at that, is Socialism."
But let me get this clear.
Being a socialism == being a liberal.
Being a liberal =/= being socialist. |

| Yes, but it's only one of, if not the most, popular liberal ideologies. |

| Evidence? I'm expecting percentages. Anything else I will reject and call your claim ludicrous, because I think it is very much so. |

Because there aren't any statistics that show the most popular liberal ideologies, I found the next best thing.
sources:
htt p: //to wnhall.c om/tipsh eet/gu ybenson/20 12/11/29/53_percen t_of_democrats_t hree_cheers_for_socialism
h ttp ://ww w.washin gtontime s.c om/blog/ inside-politics/2012/n ov/30/gallup-yes-democra ts-liberals-favor-s ocialism/
There are other sources with similar statistics, but I can't quite put them all. |

| It hasn't elaborated what "favourable view of Socialism" means, exactly. Very etchy and journalist-spin rich |

| To me a liberal is simply the opposite of authoritarian rather than being on the scale of left & right. Socialism on the otherhand is a left wing ideology in regards to economic means. |
