When superleft leaning political parties started calling themselves liberal to try to use that meaning, it took on another meaning in the language. A word is associated with what gives it meaning. That changes over time sometimes. Just because your dictionary hasnt changed what it thinks the meaning is, doesnt mean the language hasnt changed. You britts keep trying to cling to the olde version of your language. Language is fluid, like water, not steadfast like brick and mortar. American english and brittish english are now 2 separate forms of the same language, much like spanish from spain, and spanish from mexico or spanish from cuba are all diffrent, even though they are all "spanish". Dont have the pretense to lecture me about language if you dont understand the basics of language itself and its fluid structure throughout cultures and time. My culture is not yours. If you want to argue meaning, then you are arguing against a wall, because meaning will not change here or there because you want it to, so it fits with your arguement.
Hey buddy I find it hard to understand your language at the best of times but that post was the hardest to date.

Two words, prove it. Its simple ok? Back it up back it up or it loses legitimacy.

Thats more in line with what you are writing. If my interpretation is in the dictionary and your's is not. It does'nt take a clever person to see who it is thats changing meaning to fit into their argument.

You have (despite knowing nothing about me) labelled me as Liberal So here is my label for you. This word suits you. you wear it well.

hypocrite

1. a person who pretends to have virtues, moral or religious beliefs, principles, etc., that he or she does not actually possess, esp. a person whose actions belie stated beliefs.

2. a person who feigns some desirable or publicly approved attitude, esp. one whose private life, opinions, or statements belie his or her public statements.
