Do you mean "left" or "liberals?" When I say "left" I mean anarchists, Green Party, anti-globalization protesters with giant dirty puppets, socialists, left-over communists, and religious left pacifists. (Sounds like my neighborhood!)
"Liberals" in USA (to me at least) is the "left" of the Democratic party (with maybe a few Republicans and independents), where there may be a whiff of anti-globalization, etc., but without giant puppets. (Senator Kennedy, for example).
"Liberals" in Euro-land (to me) mean "Classic Liberals" who like human rights with their capitalism. (Sounds like _The Economist_)
