After you lost the original argument, trying to spin Reagan into Schwarzenegger and Schwarzenegger into Reagan, you obfuscated the debate by offering up a little used term called neoliberalism. I then based some of my remarks on a dictionary definition and not a full encyclopedic explanation. The information contained in the Wikipedia link calls neoliberalism a modern day version of "classic liberalism" and does make a connection with Reagan and Thatcher on economic policy aspects. Fine.
Neo-liberalism isn't a "little known term" among the educated.
You based your remarks on ignorance. Period. Face it, you got schooled.
Neo-liberalism is primarily an economic school of thought, though it is also the basis of the foreign policy agenda commonly known as "neo-conservativism", and a great deal of modern Libertarianism. These are the philosophies I subscribe to, so when you call me a "liberal", I don't mind, because your are actually correct in the classical sense, despite your best efforts not to be.

>>>Neo-liberalism isn't a "little known term" among the educated.
You based your remarks on ignorance. Period. Face it, you got schooled.Neoliberalism is not a commonly term used in American politics today. If you think by using it, that makes you an intellectual elitist, your deadwrong. It does make you an elitist snob.

So you subscribe to neoliberalism, neoconservatism and Libertarianism of the party ideology. You don't know what the hell you are. You're trying to cover all the bases, so as not to leave anything out.
In almost five years on FR, you're the most illogical, unprincipled and confused FReeper I've ever come across.

and a great deal of modern Libertarianism. Then I can understand you siding with Arnold on his social liberal stances, but I'm having a tough time figuring out why you'd agree with his bond issue and inability to restrain growth of government.
