act of inquiry, research, and learning requires openness to new experiences, which is characterized by liberalism.

In theory yes but in practice left leaning "thinkers" are completely dictatorial.

Both of you are correct - it's neither all one nor the other.

There is liberal exploration AND there is communist-totalitarianism WITH much grey between.

Yes in theory. Much like the original meaning of liberal was libertarian but now isn't. Anyone who is a liberal today is not advancing freedom they are advancing tyranny. I'm quite aware that many liberals don't think that but that's a fault of education and learning on their part.
