Good timelines.

[minionofmidas]

Hope he makes it to President next. Though I don't read timelines.

[Filuwaúrdjan]

Good news is good.

Freedom quote.

[feeblepizza]

Leftist scum.

[dead0man]

agreed

(though I still hate that the word liberal=idiot left winger...I'm glad they are starting to use "progressive" more.  Maybe liberal can eventually mean what it's supposed to mean again.)

After all, classical "liberalism" is interchangeable with modern conservatism.

I don't know if I'd go that far.  Modern conservatism hates the gays and victimless crimes.  Not very liberal.....classical or otherwise.

Our Founding Fathers (classical liberals) didn't seem to like gays, at least.

Yeah, probably.  I doubt it came up much.  They were pretty mixed on the whole slavery thing and didn't give women the vote either.  Their flavor of classical liberalism (and I suppose classical liberalism on the whole) was mostly for economic liberalism, which is great and all but kind of misses the boat when it comes to more....(hate to say it but I can't think of a better word), social liberalism.  Women (and brown people) should be able to vote, slavery is bad, victimless crimes shouldn't be crimes and gay people should be able to get married.

You can find an abundance of anti-slavery (thus "socially liberal") quotes from the Founding Fathers. And they did count every African-American (slave or freemen) as 3/5ths of one white in the Census. This means that they were, somewhat, "socially liberal."

But social liberalism isn't what I (or Ronald Reagan in the quote) was after. I'm speaking of economic liberalism. In the 18th and 19th centuries (in other words, before the progressive movement) economic liberalism = what we call fiscal conservatism today (free trade, deregulation, low spending, smaller government, yadda yadda yadda).

In that sense, modern conservatism and classical liberalism are alike.

It's a chunk of lyrics from a NOFX song.  Blasphemy the Victimless Crime

Thanks, but you forgot to comment my sig.

[dead0man]

I LOVED those dudes.  A great bit on a great show.

[Bunwahaha [still dunno why, but well, so be it]]

France still says this:

economic liberalism = what we call fiscal conservatism today (free trade, deregulation, low spending, smaller government, yadda yadda yadda).

As to the sig:

lol at the clip from which is the quote, funny how things like NOFX sound cute today.

[minionofmidas]

That is the current mood of France?

Cool.

Ah, you had to wait till about 40'' iirc to have the song. But the intro or the song, yeah, both would work.

Sig:

Eh, good for these big kitties I guess...

[Free Palestine]

Meh

Haven't they embalmed him yet?
