I frequently come across the expression liberal do-gooder used pejoratively. In my vocabulary being liberal and doing good are virtues. Can someone please explain what is going on ?

The best way to explain it to you is ....read the posts and threads where you've seen that term used. If you do so, then you'll see it clearly and no one will have to explain it to you. By the way, I'm guessing that you're one of those fuckin' liberal doo-gooders yourself. I can tell just by the way you're already trying to defend it.

And, no, "liberal" is not a virtue ....liberal means to steal from someone who worked to earn his wealth, then turn around and give it to someone else who doesn't want to work to earn anything.

Hello Myles, Since Max chose to be just a bit obtuse, I'll try to go the extra mile. Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image! Te term is used in a derogatory sense as a label for those who advocate things like 'redistribution of wealth.' They feel that everyone - EVERYONE - regardless of the degree of effort they put forth, are entitled to enjoy the exact same standard of living as those that worked very hard for it. They see capitalism as a crime against humanity because they view it as oppressing and exploiting "the poor." They also think the word 'profit' is the essence of evil. Someone wearing that label would never use the word lazy in describing any individual - rather, they would say those people are "disadvantaged." Little do they realize that by installing even more entitlement programs for the lazy members of the world that they are actually making worse the very problem they are attempting to solve. What I men by that is that the lazy ones make no effort at all beyond learning how to milk the various 'aid' programs - and then pass along that knowledge to each other and their offspring. I could actually go on but I believe you understand it by now.Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image!
Maybe if less tax money were spent on social services for pansy liberals who can't take care of themselves, more money could be spent on properly following through with vet aid?
I would modify that sentence to say, "...who WON"T task care of themselves." There are plenty of people who are honestly in need of help and I'm all for them getting assistance. But I have NO sympathy at all for those that are too lazy to work - and there are far too many of them.
It is amazing that conservatives find ways to channel unbelievable sums of money to wage wars, but then find themselves impotent victims of liberals when it comes to allocating money to aid veterans? You poor things. You need lobbyists.
A Liberal Do-Gooder is someone who - preaches equality and goodness; - thinks he knows what is the best for everyone, and insists in this no matter what; - demands that his actions be judged by the motives he declares to have, regardless of the actual outcomes and effects of those actions.
My changes in dark red. This would seem to take in most classes of political entity, certainly conservatives.
Completely incorrect! The Do-Gooder NEVER, EVER preaches the responsibility of the individual - instead, he/she wants the entire mass of the community/country to bear all the responsibilities of every individual - no matter how low-life some of those individuals are.
Conservatives claim to be doing good and those are words they often use. So using my template when describing a Conservative Do-Gooder we might fill in the blanks with those words, or perhaps 'freedom' instead of individuality. Or some other distracting abstraction so that we not notice that the next couple of points are true about this kind of Do Gooder also.
