The real problem is that the word "liberal" doesn't mean anything anymore.
I mea nit's certainly not "Liberal" in the classical, Enlightenment, anti-fuedal, anti-aristiocracy menaing is it?
Is liberal someone who supports the social justice side of democratic theory? Is liberal somone that supports the welfare state?
Liberal a few years back menat supporting using the military to overthrow evil dictatorships and consequent nationbuilding - a definition that conservatives used on everyone from Wilson to Clinton.
Now Bush is doing it and somehow the EXACT same policy and action is seen as conservative and if you disagree with it, well you're a "liberal".
It's a meaningless term - as much as "left" and "right" are meaningless...
