Allen Said:

What is the true definition of "liberalism"?

We Answered:

Classic Liberalism.
Individual freedom, free markets, limited government, human rationality, individual property rights, natural rights, the protection of civil liberties, equality under the law, constitutional limitation of government, and a gold standard to place fiscal constraints on government.

Social liberalism is far different and is what we call liberal today. Unlimited government, welfare state and state socialism.

Jill Said:

Which definition of Liberalism do you adhere to?

We Answered:

Classical liberals rocked.. they were pro free market, and were constantly trying to get government out of their lives..

Modern liberals are not true liberals at all.. But are rather Radicals in that they want immediate change. and that change mostly involves more government intervention and control.

Leonard Said:

Can anyone here give me a good thorough definition of Liberalism?

We Answered:

The root word for "liberal" is "liberty", which pretty well sums up their point of view.

Liberals typical believe that politicians should work for their constituents, maximum freedoms for individual citizens, minimal government interference, accountability in government, and individual responsibility.

Occasionally you'll see people posting about liberals wanting to control this and that, but it is a misrepresentation -- liberals want voters to have control, but it is the voter's responsibility and obligation to be informed.

Rafael Said:

What is the definition of Liberalism?

We Answered:

Liberalism is the position of victimizing every citizen in a country to make them believe that they need government in every aspect of their life, Conservatism is the position of working hard and getting what you work for and not relying on the government for everything.

We Answered:

Naughty naughty!! You must not offend the children (liberals).

Ramon Said:

How many conservatives feel this definition of liberalism also applies to them?

We Answered:

Yes, it can apply to both.

The difference is the means in which you ensure liberty and equality.
