Why I do not like to use the word Liberal

As can be seen by my posts I am nothing if not a right wing capitalist, in my political outlook.
So why will I not use the word Liberal when referring to left wing, secular, socialists? The answer is simple, the word Liberal is derived from the rook for Liberty. I contend that there is nothing in the left wing, secular, socialist ideology that is liberating. Instead I contend that any ideology that places a person in servitude to the state and to ones passions as in the, pro-abortion and so called "gay rights" movements are by definition the antithesis of Liberty. Therefore I will not grant to such an Ideology any word that has at its roots in Liberty
