A '''liberal''' supports an increase in [[government]] spending, power, and control, as in [[ObamaCare]]. By contrast, a [[conservative]] favors limited government, individual freedom, personal responsibility, and moral values.

A '''liberal''' is someone who supports '''liberalism''', which is a [[politics|political philosophy]] on the left of the political spectrum. Liberals favor an increase in [[government]] spending, power, and control, as in [[ObamaCare]]. Most liberals also support the [[censorship]] and [[denial]] of [[Christianity]] because of its strong moral values<ref>http://www.worldviewweekend.com/worldview-times/article.php?articleid=2062</ref>. Liberals who are a part of the [[secular left]] prefer the [[atheism|atheist religion]] over the Christian faith, as atheism has no objective morality to hinder their big government plans. This lack of an objective morality, or [[moral relativism]], was used as one of the main justifications for crimes against humanity by the [[Nazi Party|Nazis]] and the [[Communism|Communists]], both of whom were [[Similarities_between_Communism,_Nazism_and_liberalism|liberal]]. Increasingly, liberals side with the [[homosexual agenda]], including supporting [[same-sex marriage|homosexual "marriage"]]. Most<ref>http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/right-turn/wp/2014/05/23/reform-conservatives-tackle-the-failed-liberal-welfare-state/</ref> 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. The liberal ideology has worsened over the years and degenerated into economically unsound views and intolerant ideology. Most liberals simply support, in knee-jerk fashion, the opposite of [[conservative]] principles, while lacking an actual ideology or values of their own.
