The Forward March Dictionary.com/liberalism: A political theory founded on the natural goodness of humans and the autonomy of the individual and favoring civil and political liberties, government by law with the consent of the governed, and protection from arbitrary authority. Yeah, that's what I thought. For a while I was a bit confused by all the redefining of terms. Dictionary.com/conservatism A political philosophy or attitude emphasizing respect for traditional institutions, distrust of government activism, and opposition to sudden change in the established order. These are dictionary definitions people. Not from the New Limbaugh Dictionary of American Political Terms. So we can see that I am a liberal. I seek progress. I do not advocate for arbitrary change, but I do not reflexively oppose it either. Conservatism is an opposition movement. One that assumes the existing order is preferable to any possible new ones. With the irony being that today's conservatives will be arguing to maintain institutions built by yesterday's liberals; representative democracy, freedom of speech, equal protection under the law, and the idea of basic human rights, among others. All opposed by conservatives of yore. | |
