Liberals and Liberalisms
The things that we would not have if it were not for a bunch of Liberals.
It was a bunch of Liberals who started the Revolutionary War.
I always end the converstion with the definition of Liberalism from Webster:
1 : the quality or state of being liberal
2 a often capitalized : a movement in modern Protestantism emphasizing intellectual liberty and the spiritual and ethical content of Christianity b : a theory in economics emphasizing individual freedom from restraint and usually based on free competition, the self-regulating market, and the gold standard c : a political philosophy based on belief in progress, the essential goodness of the human race, and the autonomy of the individual and standing for the protection of political and civil liberties d capitalized : the principles and policies of a Liberal party

The mention of Christianity always throws them.
