:stupid:
Nope. Nazi's and neocons are not "liberals."

However, it's rather obvious that modern American "liberals" have abandoned the classical liberalism of the enlightenment and embraced the warped extremist leftist policies which have historically led to authoritarianism, and in some cases they have even embraced communism openly.

I do not hate the neocons, but it is also obvious that they are still classical liberals at heart who have rightly rejected the radicalization of the American left.

I have no problem with being a "classical liberal at heart." Most of us conservatives share many of the components of classical liberal thinking and attitudes.

Ok. Now you backtrack to "classical liberalism." That is so out of date when referring to any contemporary American politician. You sound like you are just making shit up now. :lol: :ohno:

Wrong again, skelly. I didn't make up Rich Lowry's quote, or George Will's quote, or the material from Urban Dictionary, Sourcewatch and Wikipedia.

The reference to classical liberalism was to help you grasp a concept, so that perhaps we could share a basis of discussion, not to prove you wrong.

But my mission is apparently hopeless. You have no desire to share a common understanding, and you don't need my help to prove yourself wrong - and breathtakingly shallow - over and over again.

And like most modern day liberals, you take responsibility for nothing.

LOL. I now see that you edited that post 30 minutes after you originally posted it. You're editing makes it fine. Your original post didn't contain "classical liberalism" but liberalism... as if the brand that refers to modern Democrats/progressives/whatever.

Don't edit posts 30 minutes later. It's fucking confusing and it's probably not going to be noticed.

Nope. Grace of God stands on its own as one of the greatest concepts of human existence. :thumb:
