1. If liberalism today was the Classical Liberalism of our Founders, all of us would be liberals. In fact, from the New Deal through the 50's Americans pretty much were liberals.
.
Most normal, rational, humane people are individualists it is part of being human. Too bad the OP seems so eager to encourage that the term "Liberal" be resigned to the elitist re-definition.
3. Today, liberals are viewed by many as permissive on social morality, including government programs that offer not merely indulgence, but appear to many to encourage lazy, ill-mannered, and sexually promiscuous conduct, gaming the system and making excuses for riots, violent crime, and other forms of anti-social behavior. Eric Alterman, Why Were Liberals, p. 38.
We are only viewed that way if you submit to the re-definition of the word as offered by pinko's.
It really is up to you.
b. Complicated interrelationships between the various left wing groups, i.e., civil libertarians, socialists, communists, anarchists, populists, etc, melded all together in the eyes of much of the apolitical public. The actions of any of these groups often colored the perception of all.
Anarchists are the opposite of communists!
Why would gold worshipppers like to lump completely opposing ideologies together as "leftist"?
The elitists fund the communist and socialist ideologies (knowing full and well how repugnant such things are to most people) then try to associate them with the truly humane ideologies of liberalism, because true liberalism is what pinko royalists absolutely hate...
Great way to play their useful idiots, the "conservatives" or even "populists" into whatever the rich wish. Too bad for the cowardly gold worshipper, there is a higher plan (or evolution) to which mankind is destined. It is inevitable that humanity will evolve to be ever more humane, it is only a matter of how much life we true liberals/AMERICANS will let the rich destroy.
It starts by refusing the the re-definition of words by the elitists. If we do it now, that is all that it will take to save countless lives from the hate of the pinko.
c. Conservative thinking has been propelled by well-funded,
So it really is up to you. Are you going to allow the gold worshipper to dictate to you the re-definition of "Liberal"?
If rich people command you to do so, should you give up the principles of America? The principles of Liberty? Liberalism?
Or are you comfortable to be redefined as a "conservative" a fluid, spineless, after-the-fact follower of whatever the royal pinko demands you to think?
I would be more than happy to give an explanation of the definiton/beliefs of conservatives...
Would you do the same for your understanding of the definition/beliefs of a contemporary liberal?
I think th comparison would be, to use a pun, Enlightening. (The modern liberal traces his provenance to the age of Enlightenment...)
