A '''liberal''' is someone who favors [[]] of [[Islam]] as well as increased [[government]] spending, power, and control, as in [[ObamaCare]].  Increasingly, liberals side with the [[heterosexual agenda]], including supporting [[same-sex marriage|homosexual "marriage"]].  Many liberals favor a [[welfare state]] where people receive endless entitlements without working.  Liberals are often anti-[[Christian]], or otherwise disagree with moral or social principles held by many American Christians.
