Your argument was destroyed by yourself.Thanks for validating what I said and destroying your own argument.The founding fathers weren't liberals by any stretch.So....you don't like the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution....and yes, our Founders were Liberals...the Tories were the Con-servatives.
But feel free to continue talking about Blazing Saddles.
If they were alive today they would make any conservative, short of a Islamic Radical, look like a liberal.
They were innovative, not liberals.
This is yet another example of the commie bastards on the left trying to glam onto conservative ideas the way they snatched blacks away from the Republican Party with a bunch of false promises and free shit.
Liberals have no good ideas.
They just steal everyone else's.
Pffffffffffffft. Liberalism is exactly what built this country and wrote its Constitution. Which btw doesn't make them "left" or "right". Go buy a PoliSci book.
Here, let's get you started:
>> Liberalism is a political philosophy or worldview founded on ideas of liberty and equality.[1][2][3] Liberals espouse a wide array of views depending on their understanding of these principles, but generally they support ideas and programmes such as freedom of speech, freedom of the press, freedom of religion, free markets, civil rights, democratic societies, secular governments, gender equality, and international cooperation.[4][5][6][7][8][9][10]
Liberalism first became a distinct political movement during the Age of Enlightenment, when it became popular among philosophers and economists in the Western world. Liberalism rejected the prevailing social and political norms of hereditary privilege, state religion, absolute monarchy, and the Divine Right of Kings. The 17th-century philosopher John Locke is often credited with founding liberalism as a distinct philosophical tradition. Locke argued that each man has a natural right to life, liberty and property,[11] while adding that governments must not violate these rights based on the social contract. Liberals opposed traditional conservatism and sought to replace absolutism in government with representative democracy and the rule of law.
Leaders in the Glorious Revolution of 1688,[12] the American Revolution of 1776, and the French Revolution of 1789 used liberal philosophy to justify the armed overthrow of royal tyranny. << (Wiki)
"The Citizens of the United States of America have a right to applaud themselves for having given to mankind examples of an enlarged and Liberal policy: a policy worthy of imitation. All possess alike liberty of conscience and immunities of citizenship. It is now no more that toleration is spoken of, as if it was by the indulgence of one class of people, that another enjoyed the exercise of their inherent natural rights." -- George Washington, 1790

I didn't even make an argument. Mudwhistle did. I corrected it.
It's sitting up there in a steaming heap.
And the fact you leftists immediately attempt to assume responsibility for what government does only validates the OP.
Leftists know nothing about personally helping others.
They only destroy.
Once again for the Dumbassagogues: that post had nothing to do with "leftism". Anyone who can actually READ can see it was supposed to be about Liberalism ---- which is exactly why it says "(/offtopic)" since your topic here is "the left". That post purportedly on Liberalism was a complete definitional train wreck, which is what I corrected. And you yourself, I might add, put an "Agree" on that train wreck so you're completely lost in your own topic.
