I am not into liberal versus conservative thing but I believe it would make more sense if you kept the list short and went to the point. Below is couple examples of why it sounds like you were trying to win an argument and tried filling the list for keeping it long.

Yes thats why Marx's writings are still on the stone but constitution is alive and practiced.

More to do with secular goverment. Goverment controls what goes into schools , but not internet. But if you do not want a secular goverment, its a totally different argument.

Thats how history went so there is no need to argue otherwise, but do you really want to make this statement: "Other people can build their own freedom on our pain" ?
I am not sure if promoting this is a good idea.

There is irony in everybody's beliefs. If that makes a person liberal, just by looking at this list, you would be a liberal too.

You wrote it while you were angry I guess. It doesnt make much sense when you say "You are a liberal if you dont see the parallel between yourself and Hitler and Stalin"

This is like saying whoever doesnt understand you in this world is liberal. Sounds like a tactic to force people to agree with you if they dont want to be called liberal.
