Of course you already know what a Liberal is, but they are so pathological that I can't help but keep vigilant in my essays about them.
I have lived in various regions, some Liberal some not. I've seen the worst of Liberalism, and after experiencing Liberals first hand in Santa Fe, Amsterdam, San Francisco and many other regions, I really believe they have a mental disorder. Savage is correct on this point.
The categories of Liberals that chap my hide most are these:
Lily whites: You couldn't take them to a bar because they would upset the locals, start you in a fight and run out the back door. They usually haven't created wealth, rather have been financially supported by parents or spouses, obtained positions through government or they've inherited money. Some tend to do a lot of drugs, or are the complete opposite and are AFRAID of facing the real world. Their kids are the worst of the worst: John Walker Lindh and Adam Gadahn are perfect examples. They drive around in beat up cars with smoke plumming from the exhaust and a thousand bumper stickers on the back supporting; abortion, the environment (hypocritically), Wellstone, or coexistence with evil. They are usually very mean and self righteous. Oh, and they often smell strange.
Jews: Confused and self-hating for some reason, their weak support of core principles and wishywashy values keep others wondering what they stand for. I bash them sometimes but I do like them overall as long as they keep supporting democracies and not socialism. I dislike the extremes of orthodox and secular.
The above two groups control the levers of the Liberal movement, and together they are causing a breakdown of morality and justice.
To be fair, the extreme right can be dangerous in different ways, but at this time in history, at least the far right continues to uphold and appreciate American values.
I think that I might have liked a "Classical Liberal" if I was of that era.
