Generally speaking, '''liberal ideology''' in America outlines a system of government which emphasises intervening in the national economy in order to counter market forces. Liberals generally perceive taxation as a means of redistributing wealth and funding public works that could not be adequately supplied through the free market, such as roadbuilding and provision of police forces. Liberals generally advocate increased personal freedoms, however individuals will often dissent on one or more issues, such as [[gun control]], and may even hold multiple conflicting values simultaneously, as seen in the 2005 [[Muhammad cartoons controversy]] which posited freedom of speech versus freedom of religion.
