The point you were trying to make is bunk. Sure, one meaning of "liberal" is "free, or freedom-loving," but we are referring to a particular political and social viewpoint that is also called "liberal." There is a disparity between classical liberalism, which seems to favor what you think is going on, qwerty, and the current American ideological set known collectively as "liberalism." In terms of this debate, liberal is a particular slant or perspective, and has nothing to do with loving freedom.
