Liberalism is a mental disorder

San Francisco has been labeled the most liberal city in America, marginally rivaled by Seattle Washington and possibility New York. I had just returned from a vacation to this liberal land. This visit inspired much thought on the term liberalism. I have a lot of friends and family members that use the word liberal in an almost derogatory context saying "Well he's liberal though" or "the liberals think this" or even "we don't discussion liberalism here"(I was told this at the school I used to work at). While in Sanny Franny I saw an appeared homeless man walking the streets with a sign that read "Liberalism is a Mental Disease". I was shocked because of the preconceived notions of the city but than I thought that he was probably just trying to get attention. This did get me to thinking...what is wrong with liberalism. Dictionary.com's definition of the term is: a political orientation that favors progress and reform. As far as I can tell our country was founded on change and reformation; us separating ourselved from the problem we had with the English government. In a sense, we are founded on liberalism, so I don't understand why so many people judge and complain about the liberals. I'm sure that they don't know the true definition of what is means to be liberal. I can moan and complain for a long time about the judgment and misuse of this word brings, but that would make this blog too long to read. What I'm trying to say is that most people think that other people are doing it wrong and think that things need to be changed, therefore most people are liberal. Let's stop judging and go smoke some sausage.
