Let's remind all that every presidential assassin in the history of the nation has been a liberal- or has not been associated with a political outlook- none were right-wingers.
So you believe that Booth was a liberal? Then how do you explain Guiteau? The Republicans of the latter 19th century were the liberals of their day. Now, you may deny that and attempt to paint Booth as a liberal, but then that leaves you with a dilemma. Guiteau assassinated Garfield after continued (albeit incompetent) advocacy for Grant, Garfield, and the Republican party. His crime was spurred because the President denied his applications to a various jobs within the administration.
This is what I said: every presidential assassin in the history of the nation has been a liberal- or has not been associated with a political outlook- none were right-wingers.
And, of course, as usual, I am totally correct.
"Then how do you explain Guiteau? "
Simple...almost as simple as your are:
Charles J. Guiteau, who shot President James Garfield, was part of a utopian commune, the Oneida Community, where free love was practiced.
What could be more "liberal."
You can find that here: Ackerman, “Dark Horse: The Surprise Election and Political Murder of President James A. Garfield,” p.135
Let's remind all of the attempt to hide behind, and obfuscate via the various meaning of "Liberal."
Classical liberal, the Founders, would be known as conservatives today.
That is proven simply by the following litmus test: those liberals, and today's conservatives have doctrines based on individualism, limited constitutional government, and free markets.
Colloquial 'Liberals'....e.g., Obama, Bill's wife, and Democrat voters, endorse none of those.
Horse shit, Spandex girl. The term "Liberal" has never changed. Your Revisionista "classic" song and dance is one more lame attempt to Doublethink an existing term into its own opposite so that you and your fellow travellers may pervert it. Been going on since the Red Scare daze. It still ain't selling.
And NO, the Founders could in no way be called "conservatives" in any stretch of that term. They were radicals, upsetting the existing apple cart of the First and Second Estates with the radical ideas that power derives from the People. There is no way in hell you can call that "conservative". The actual conservatives of the time were the Loyalists.
You should prolly try to peddle this kind of revisionist crapola somewhere where nobody knows their history or political science.
" The term "Liberal" has never changed."
I'll let you choose: are you a liar, a fool or both?
For the education of those who might believe your lie:
1. The 'Greatest Lie" is the one that the modern Liberals tell. They claim that those called Liberals today are the liberals who founded this great nation. Nothing could be further from the truth. The Founders were 'classical liberals,' whose vision included . individualism, free markets, and limited constitutional government. That's why they wrote out a detailed Constitution.
a. Communist John Dewey, the one who corrupted education in this country, convinced the Socialist Party to change its name to 'Liberal.' And it's values and doctrines formed those called Liberals today.
The benefit to them, of course, is that the uninformed attribute the greatness of the Founders, of America, to them.
Now....which 'Liberals' today espouse individualism, free markets, and limited constitutional government.
Certainly not the socialists/communists known as the Democrat Party
2. The Progressives were in such disrepute after the Wilson Administration, that the name ‘Progressive’ had to be re-branded. John Dewey renamed Progressivism as ‘liberalism,’ which had referred to political and economic liberty, along the lines of John Locke and Adam Smith: maximum individual freedom under a minimalist state. Dewey changed the meaning to the Prussian meaning: alleviation of material and educational poverty, and the removal of old ideas and faiths. Classical liberals were not called Conservatives.
3. “Finally, Dewey arguably did more than any other reformer to repackage progressive social theory in a way that obscured just how radically its principles departed from those of the American founding. Like Ely and many of his fellow progressive academics, Dewey initially embraced the term "socialism" to describe his social theory. Only after realizing how damaging the name was to the socialist cause did he, like other progressives, begin to avoid it. In the early 1930s, accordingly, Dewey begged the Socialist party, of which he was a longtime member, to change its name. "The greatest handicap from which special measures favored by the Socialists suffer," Dewey declared, "is that they are advanced by the Socialist party as Socialism.” FindArticles.com | CBSi
