Yeah, maybe so but it was good enough for Rush, so it's good enough for general daily use here and anyplace else where literally everyone understands what is meant.
(Usually it's liberal talk show hosts who play the game of stumping conservatives, changing the subject, and slamming the brakes on a discussion by saying "Define liberal." Not saying that was your intent here, anon :)
If you wanna get technical, they aren't on the "left" of anything either, really. That's just a conventional term left over from the French Revolution in 1789. The National Assembly happened to be split into revolutionaries on the left side of the hall and the king's supporters on the right side.

Thanks for the history of where the term originated.
It' more of a personal matter for me because I find they have very little "liberal" views and they are all about conforming to one type of thought.
