" Elaborating Subtle Nuances Of Absurdity "
* Signature Problem Hilarity *
The contemporary lexicon applies the term " liberalism " with a false equivalence for an establishment of positive liberties , which is entirely a conservative precept ( conservation of government ) .
Negative liberty - Wikipedia
Negative liberty is freedom from interference by other people. Negative liberty is primarily concerned with freedom from external restraint and contrasts with positive liberty (the possession of the power and resources to fulfil one's own potential). The distinction was introduced by Isaiah Berlin in his 1958 lecture "Two Concepts of Liberty".
Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy describes negative liberty:
"The negative concept of freedom ... is most commonly assumed in liberal defences of the constitutional liberties typical of liberal-democratic societies, such as freedom of movement, freedom of religion, and freedom of speech, and in arguments against paternalist or moralist state intervention. It is also often invoked in defences of the right to private property, although some have contested the claim that private property necessarily enhances negative liberty."[1][2]

Again , negative wrights establish negative liberties with respect to government ( freedom from interference by government - libertarianism ) , however negative wrights do not establish negative liberties with respect to other individuals ( freedom from interference by other citizens ) which are ensured through authoritarian actions of government as positive wrights .In America, there should be no "negative liberties".
Unfortunately, after 2001 there have been some, and there should not be.
Also that "Brady bill" thing, too.
