Do liberals annoy you?
I am young, so I don't know many in my age group who would describe themselves as 'socialists', or 'social democrats'. Most describe themselves as liberals.
What does that mean exactly? They're 'liberal', because they are pro gay-rights, pro-choice, and anti death penalty.
They annoy the hell out of me.
