      not servile or mean;

   -  Bestowing in a large and noble way, as a freeman;
      generous; bounteous; open-handed;

   -  Not narrow or contracted in mind; not selfish; enlarged in
      spirit; catholic.

catholic? well, i guess you do belong here, amongst us liberals, after all!

wait, there's more:

   -  Not bound by orthodox tenets or established forms in
      political or religious philosophy; independent in opinion;
      not conservative; friendly to great freedom in the
      constitution or administration of government; having
      tendency toward democratic or republican, as distinguished
      from monarchical or aristocratic, forms; as, liberal
      thinkers; liberal Christians; the Liberal party.

   -  One who favors greater freedom in political or religious
      matters; an opponent of the established systems; a reformer;

seems like you are in good company,
