Actual liberals -- you know, one that aren't obsessed with marxism and identity -- are great, I might even be one.

Libertarianism came before Conservatism? Where does Constitutionalism and Classical Liberal fit into the timeline?The Conservative wrote:What do you think Conservatism came from?GrumpyCatFace wrote:Isn't that Libertarianism?The Conservative wrote:

These labels are starting to sound strikingly similar to the SJW snowflake/trans/queer/LBUTLKWEOIJTG!#JGF$ clusterfuck. Perhaps we should just have our own individual ideals, and quit trying to box them together?

Re: Google Memo
1796 was the first time Libertarian was used (as in defending a person's rights and freedoms) It didn't really hit the US till the 1860s.
1809 was when Conservatism was considered part of the Whig Party in the UK. You could go back to the 1500s if you want and delve deep into England for what some people call "The Father of Conservatism" but it never became a movement, just an idea. It didn't hit the US till the 1950s and the Red Scare...
So choose your poison.

I choose None of the Above. Why people feel the need to compromise their beliefs, in order to fit into a political group is absolutely beyond me. These definitions seem to change every week, and are always dismantled by Arguing the Extremes. They're useless.The Conservative wrote:1796 was the first time Libertarian was used (as in defending a person's rights and freedoms) It didn't really hit the US till the 1860s.

It would make a great episode topic, but I am sure Dan is going to lose several months of productivity because of the sexism expressed in that document.
