I think it's a little different though when we're trying to describe an ideology and those who identify with it. If a group of people who identify themselves as liberals consistently identify as liberals but fail to adhere to a principle at liberalism, at what point do you finally ask how crucial that principle is to liberalism?
Christians believe in not killing people, but yet millions of people have been killed in the name of Christianity. At what point do you say that not killing people is no longer a prerequisite to being a Christian?
