That is just a fact. Liberal leaders will tell you they do not want small government, low taxes and private industry. We saw what the liberal judges did to private property.
I think you believe in those things you listed. How does it feel to find out that you have been voting liberal when you are really a conservative?
Thats just a fact

I think you are the one who doesn't understand what liberalism is. In fact, I don't just think that, I am entirely sure of that.
The values I described are values of economic freedom. Economic freedom combined with social freedom is liberalism. Economic freedom minus the social freedom is conservatism. Strongly limited economic freedom combined with social freedom is social liberalism.
Americans like you tend to use the terms in an erroneous, incoherent way (for example by equating "liberal" with "left-wing"), without realizing the origins, full meaning and underlying political theory of terms.
So how does it feel to find out you are talking about things without even fully understanding the relevant terminology?
