They’re playing with labels. Someone who believes in free speech, freedom of religion, a free market, and a social contract called the Constitution was, in the late 19th century, a liberal. Today he’s a conservative. It’s a really silly semantic game.
Not me. I want government to back off and (at most) stop people from interfering in my life. Don't do me any favors: just leave me alone. I don't care what vocabulary they want to dress that up in, it's not a Liberal view.
I am and will always be a ‘Classic Liberal’ which is by today’s standards a Conservative. But make no mistake, I find nothing redeeming in central planned economics (big government) or the fascism we’re living with today.
True. Or people who question authority were considered liberal. Now liberals are conformists and if someone breaks from the ranks or does not hold the same thought, those people are outcasts.
Probably better to use that quiz that results in someone’s political views mapping them to some area of a quadrant.
That’s why I prefer the term “Constitutionalist”. That simplifies the question.
