'Liberal' mostly stands for freedom but now a days is used against freedom.

This confused me for the longest time. Then I realized that Liberals and Libertarians were two different terms. Now I know that only the latter is actually for freedom. The former is more like liberal application of control and government over people.

If you go outside of the US, liberal still means what it used to. In Europe 'liberal' parties are generally the right wing ones.
