A '''liberal''' (not to be confused with a "leftist") is someone who rejects traditional and biblical standards, often for delusionally altruistic reasons. Some may be Christians, but they are rarely immensely committed to Christianity. Liberalism began as a movement for individual liberties, but today is increasingly [[statist]] and, as in Europe, [[welfare state]]-ist.  Liberalism has changed over the years and degenerated into a delusional (in the sense of economic views), and anti-traditional ideology.

For example, [[Franklin Delano Roosevelt]] firmly believed in private sector unions, but vehemently opposed and condemned public sector unions, stating that the idea of collective bargaining can't be transferred to the public sector, as that would result in the government being unable to carry out its duties.  Yet today, decades later, [[Democrats]] and liberals are almost in cahoots with public sector unions, as they "donate" money to the re-election campaign in exchange for more taxpayer money in their wallets and fluffed up pensions.
