I am raising a valid issue.  No worthwhile political discussion is possible as long as the participants do not agree on terminology, so the issue of authority naturally arises.  Based on my education and life experience I must conclude that most people on the net don’t know what it means to be a liberal, conservative or libertarian. When someone tells me that they know what these terms mean, I want to know what their source of authority is.  I want to know what qualifies them to define these terms if they think they are qualified to use them to label me.
