This whole liberal vs conservative discussion IS an American issue and one they've exported to Europe unfortunately. Liberal hasn't meant what you think it means in over 10 years except in circlejerks and academia
A quick hop and a skip from US-centrism to Euro-centrism doesn't really salvage the fact that liberal is still widely used around the world to describe those who adhere to liberalism, the hegemonic political-economic ideology of the west.
