"Libertarians and Republicans are the liberal class. It is they, and definitely not the Democrats, who embody liberalism--freedom, freedom of thought, freedom of speech, and open-mindedness."

Barry Goldwater described himself as a "19th Century liberal".

Today, we have one political persuasion who stands four-square for the status quo -- the liberals. And we have a second that is trying to force a change, in favor of individual freedom -- the conservatives.

It is, indeed, a topsy-turvy world.
