"And yet you have successful business people who lean left. Go figure"

Easy to figure. They are (1) not that bright when it comes to things outside their sphere, or (2) want to make it as hard as possible to be as successful as they are, keeping the club more exclusive.

"Perhaps it would make sense to define what a liberal is."

Right, because we don't know what it is when we see it. I would define a liberal as someone so opposed to having an honest discussion, that they claim to not know what a liberal is, in order to avoid a debate that they know they cannot win.

Great story on why Charles Krauthammer, Spence's favorite, . went from Liberal to Conservative in an hour long interview with Brett Baire last night.
Krauthammer, an Oxford/ Harvard Grad and Pulitzer prize winner was paralyzed in a diving accident while studying at Harvard but within weeks continued his education in his hospital bed and received his MD degree.
A true Liberal who worked and wrote for "The Republic " he believed in Socialism but had a conversion to Conservatism during the Reagan's Presidency after seeing the light.
Quite a guy, still living in a wheel chair, and one of my favorites as he mixes his intellect with common sense, a rare bird now a days with all the pseudo intellectuals most of which never worked or overcame obstacles in the "real world".
