Quote: The Indestructible Man said: I'm a Classical Liberal in the Jeffersonian/Adam Smith style -- representative government, individual liberty, and the free market = good.
I don't like calling modern 'liberals' by that term -- it debases the TRUE meaning of the phrase and gives strait-jacket socialists too much of a good name. The modern right in America is the true descendant of classical liberal thought -- the Left is nought but a loose collection of me-first crybabies who want to hand the UN their guns and pursestrings...
Horseshit, I-man. I'm a classic liberal as well, by your definition, but I'm way left of you on social issues such as human rights, guns, and international affairs.
Lest we forget, that bastion of free global trade, the World Trade Organisation, is a UN institution.
