Liberalism is a political philosophy or worldview founded on ideas of liberty and equality.

...does liberty mean the right to keep the proceeds of my labor or does it mean the right for others to plunder the proceeds of my labor? Does equality mean equal opportunity or equal outcome?

Liberals espouse a wide array of views depending on their understanding of these principles

...actually it doesn't depend on their understanding of anything. What it depends on is whatever their agenda for the day is.

generally they support ideas and programmes such as freedom of speech
...as long as you agree with them

freedom of the press
...as long as you publish stories they like.

freedom of religion
...as long as it isn't Christianity.

free markets
...as long as they can control what is made, who makes it what it can be sold for and what employees can be paid.

civil rights
...for specific groups that are SPECIAL.

democratic societies
...two wolves and a sheep voting on what to have for dinner.

secular governments
...unless they are muslim

gender equality
...does that mean we are going to do away with the Ladies T's on the golf course?

international cooperation.
...only place the international community wants to cooperate with us in in looting the treasury.

And so what's wrong with:

Liberalism is a political philosophy or worldview founded on ideas of liberty and equality. Whereas classical liberalism emphasises the role of liberty, social liberalism stresses the importance of equality. Liberals espouse a wide array of views depending on their understanding of these principles, but generally they support ideas and programmes such as freedom of speech, freedom of the press, freedom of religion, free markets, civil rights, democratic societies, secular governments, gender equality, and international cooperation.
