There is only one meaning for this word.

Only one meaning ever, and no clarification or distinction drawing is ever needed.

It is very frustrating when American "conservatives" call this or that person or thing "liberal" as a pejorative without defining what kind of liberalism they mean, as if there can only be one interpretation—which, apparently, means what they want it to mean rather than any dictionary definition!

It's pretty funny that pretty much nobody would ever say that they hate freedom, and yet both leftists and rightists seem to use "liberal", which derives from freedom, as a snarl word.

ime when people on the left use liberal as a pejorative they normally mean a non-radical form of left politics (as opposed to marxism or feminism or what have you) - not so much evil as just non-critical and incapable of enacting real positive change

unless they're talking about economics, then it's something totally different
