Liberalism, if it is all the ideology that supports change, has no consistent ideals throughout history, but this does not bother it, as it generally ignores history.  Identifying its particulars cannot be done based on the literal meaning of the word, "the belief in freedom," because in the present context, liberals often suppress freedom of speech, freedom of the Second Amendment, and in the case of recent judicial activism, the freedom to use executive powers granted by the Constitution and to fulfill one's duty to protect one's country.  While the drafters of the Constitution are often regarded as liberals, as they were in support of change and freedom, their ideology is often in conflict with the liberals of today.

In a present context, liberals believe that lawful citizens' possession of firearms is more responsible for violence than violent movies.  They believe, in the face of statistics,<ref>Feeney, Nolan.  "Women are Now More Likely to Have College Degrees than Men." ''TIME Magazine''. http://time.com/4064665/women-college-degree/</ref><ref> that women still face discrimination in education and thus in the world.  They believe that any disagreement with a black person, woman, Asian, or gay, is racism, sexism, or homophobia, (but not the same to a white, or a man) and that homosexuality is as legitimate as race or gender.
