Liberal is indeed associate with all of those things in modern American politics. It used to (and in some contexts still does) mean supporting a high degree of freedom. It is also associated with moving away from old ideas. If you try to apply everything the world is associated with in any context you get the same word with totally opposite meanings. For example modern American liberals tend to push for more government spending and regulation, which is directly opposed to liberal defined as a supporter or minimal government interference in peoples lives and the economy. Liberal can mean everything from socialist to libertarian, but it is most often used in America today to describe ideas that are closer to socialist then they are to minarchist. Tim
