I do not think that Liberals "favor transfers of autonomy and personal responsibility to the government" -- certainly, no Liberal person would put it this way, and it seems to me an inaccurate characterization. The phrase seems to me a cryptic way of describing things that ought to be described more openly & frankly -- e.g., if this is a refernce to bills such as the Americans with Disabilities act, then the phrase should be "favors government protection of people who, in its view, are victims of discrimination" [[User:Boethius|Boethius]]

== Changing the first definition of liberal ==
"Liberal is a term used in politics to describe a person who generally is left-wing in his attitudes towards the government, establishment". Left Wing links to "The term Leftist refers to the Liberal side of the political spectrum". Recursive definitions are bad form. I am updating Liberal to reflect this.
