Hmm. You Americans ... ( 8 months ago by waw460)
Hmm. You Americans should really learn the original (=european) use of the term 'liberal'. Liberalism=SMALL government, low taxes, right side of the spectrum. (Liberalism~~>latin word for freedom)
Liberalism is not left. Left liberalism is a contradictio in terminis.

what about brown and the board of education. both of them!!!
No, because ... ( 8 months ago by maxime32)
No, because liberalism was always on the Left. When Socialism arose later liberalism moved to the centre, since really rather few people will take up arms to fight for free trade and total free markets compared to tradition, nation, race, Church, etc. Social-liberalism came about when some liberals realised the obvious : freedom from the STATE is only one type of freedom, a company or oligarch can be equally powerful and tyrannical. (I am anti-all liberalism)
NO, the terms ... ( 8 months ago by gwhayden3)
NO, the terms liberal and conservative have to do with the government's approach to the constitution. A liberal interpretation to our constitution means you read it liberally, thereby being a flexible. A conservative means a limited reading of the contract between our states, meaning the government cannot and should not take liberties with our constract that we call the constitution. Yes the root word for liberalism is liberty, but the term us used in how our government takes "liberties."
So, the term is ... ( 8 months ago by gwhayden3)
So, the term is used about how our government reads the constitution "liberally," thereby taking "liberties" with their power. Yes liberalism by the people means liberty. Liberalism by a government means liberally using their power over the people. WE know what liberalism is and the root word is liberty. But, when we debate liberalism vs. conservatism, we are talking about the liberal approach to governing.
In fact when one is ... ( 8 months ago by gwhayden3)
In fact when one is discussing the freedoms or civil liberties of the people, I am very liberal. When we are talking about the approach, reach or execution of governance, then I am very conservative. I believe a government should be very conservative with the powers that have been delegated to them-using those powers reluctantly, conservatively and as little as possibly thereby protecting the rights of the sovereign people of the sovereign states.
If that mnemonic ... ( 8 months ago by GBanville)
If that mnemonic helps you make sense of it then, ok. So I hope I'm not spoiling your attempt to understand modern political labels when I point out that the terms liberal and conservative, along with left and right, originated in the French pre-revolutionary parliment, and continued to be defined by events and changes during and after the French revolution. (Wikipedia is informative.) Todays liberals are a misnomer. Socialist is more like it. Todays true liberals call themselves libertarian.
George Washington ... ( 7 months ago by Whoo69)
George Washington was a conservative??? I dunno about that... Saying that is a little much. I prefer to call him a liberal, even if liberalism today isn't the same as "classical liberalism" back then. He still would not have been anywhere near what the GOP stands for today, which is what conservatism today is defined as by the beltway.
How did you come to ... ( 7 months ago by shiftstart)
How did you come to the conclusion that Washington is a liberal politically?
As for today's GOP they stand no where close to true conservatism even if it smacked them upside their heads. As for the "beltway" they are loose as a goose and by know means they have monopoly over the conservative principles.

You actually sound like you know what you are talking about avenger- which is fucking scary at first, then of course you trail off into intelligent "sounding" lunacy which proves why douchebags like you can attract a following of people who are intelligent but don't really have the time to listen.
Culling the busy voter is all you've got- besides a gift of making idiots look fairly decent. If you weren't so fucking ugly you get easily get an anchor gig on FOX News!

I'm a democrat, but I'm against Big Govn't, but unfortunatly the Bush adm, and current GOP is so in love with the Big Govn't aswell, it's hard to tell the 2 parties apart, but I'll be voting democrat, just cause Sarah Palin can not run the nation, if something happens to McCain. People think Obama is inexp. try this women from a former Commie territory. AK is short for pinko communism

Ironically 'liberal' used to mean interested in securing liberty, unlike the modern Marxist connotations. Under that standard he is a liberal.
Actually Washington ... ( 2 months ago by shiftstart)
Actually Washington would be more of a Libertarian then a liberal. He secured our liberty against the British Empire attempt of colonizing. And here at home remained "conservative" when it came to government role in the affairs of its citizens. Example, Washington turned down to become the "King" of New England. Because he would be no different than King George of England grabbing power after he fought for independence.
Libertarian and ... ( 2 months ago by filmzo)
Libertarian and liberal used to mean the same thing. Liberal doesn't mean libertarian anymore, but that doesn't change the fact that at the time he was both.
Well...filmzo I'm ... ( 2 months ago by shiftstart)
Well...filmzo I'm afraid it did not used to mean the same thing and you might want to look it up. Politically speaking a liberal even as far back as the Wilson years had no intention to make government role in peoples lives less including affairs on a global scale. Libertarianism was not responsible for every war this country has faced, its been Liberalism. But that is not to say that a person of liberal philosophy may not have a streak of libertarian values.
However, often ... ( 2 months ago by shiftstart)
However, often times such streaks have always been self serving and limited when it comes to people in government.

you say the avenger doesn't know what he is talking about yet you make no counter points or even make any point at all in your rambling. all you do is insult him and your calling him out? well i call you out to make your case on how he is wrong. if you don't then i think "it's obvious as the day is long" that your full of hot air and are only hating on him because of his political affiliations or some other petty reason.

If Reagan is so conservative how come we had a budget deficit under him? Even though he cut taxes, he did not reduce spending.
