And I prefer classical liberalism to conservatism, myself. What’s the difference? Paleoconservatism has way too much populism for me. For instance, I don’t think we should legislate religious values. What do I mean my that? Simple, if it doesn’t affect your life, rights or property, you ought to have a limited interest in it. Yeah, there are some basic societal issues (for instance gay marriage [yech] we have to agree on. BUT, we need to avoid tyranny of all types - majoritarian, as well as tyranny of a minority. The way that works out in practice? Don’t like abortion? Don’t have one. Others may think differently. They are wrong by my lights, but they get to be wrong because they don’t affect my life, rights or property. YMMV.
I have no idea what “classical liberalism” is nor do I care. I don’t see anywhere in history that liberalism did anything good for America .. but instead it only lives to serve itself.
“, ... if it doesn’t affect your life, rights or property, you ought to have a limited interest in it.”
That statement is truly amazing. I cannot believe anybody who claims to be a liberterian would ever make such a totally ignorant statement. Like I said, liberalism has only one goal - itself - therefore the interests of anyone else is of no value to a liberal - so after they take your neighbors property will you finally wake up and realize - YOU’RE NEXT!
Good grief!
