For me, as a liberal/progressive/leftward American in 2013 it means...
Physical safety for all citizens. As much as is practicable.
All citizens have equal legal protection not just under the law, but in practice.
Expression. As much as is practical without threatening the physical safety or legal protection of others.

The following freedoms seem to matter to conservative/regressive/rightward Americans. They do not matter to me.
Guns. This is a really cool toy that the founding fathers said I could have. Plus, I like them.
Religion. I have my God thing and I should be free from hearing anyone disagree with me.
Money. I should not have to pay taxes, because money matters.
