Sure. But I'm much more concerned about those who insist that we should judge a group of people (a political group in this case), not on the actions they take, or the agendas they pursue, but on a dictionary listing of the meanings of a word that is somewhat similar to the label they've applied to themselves.

That's just silly, right? Or at least, it should be. But it's remarkable how often the old "quote a list of dictionary definitions" bit works. Let's not look at what something *is*, but what the label for it means in a book...


I use the term "social liberalism" because it's *not* something that has a broad meaning. It's not perfectly defined either, but at least it clarifies that I'm speaking about a specific political agenda, and not the broader social ideologies expressed in the term "liberalism". I could type out "The agenda being pursued by modern Liberals in the US" if you'd prefer. :)
