Lets see:

Pro Abortion - Check  
Atheist - Check  
Pro Gay Marriage - Check  
Pro Education (should be free until first degree or trade school completed) - Check  
Pro support for those who need help between jobs or can’t physically or mentally work - Check  
Pro drug legalization (all drugs, not just weed) - Check  
Pro assisted suicide (for everyone for any reason - waiting period applies) - Check

So, why don’t I classify myself as a liberal? The difference being is that I’m also pro responsibility which seems to be sorely lacking for people on the left.  
Do what you want, but take responsibility for foreseeable consequences. If you choose to use that education to take advanced flower arranging and can’t get a job, then it sucks to be you, but we shouldn’t have to support you indefinitely until you ‘find’ yourself. Inject battery acid into your veins for all I care, but if it affects your judgement then you better not get into a car and drive down the road. And if there is a new voting requirement then don’t expect the rest of the world to stop because you can’t figure out or arrange to get an ID within a two or four year period.
