Thread Name: BS: Overcoming Liberalism. A 12 step Program
Subject: RE: BS: Overcoming Liberalism. A 12 step Program
From Amos (highlights are mine): Liberalism is the political philosophy believing in intellectual freedom and progress, as well as ECONOMIC EQUALITY. Based on the works of John Maynard Keynes. This "Modern Liberalism" grew out of Classical Liberalism; the political philosophy believing in ECONOMIC and intellectual FREEDOM.

"Economic equality" AND "economic freedom"? WHICH is it? Everyone's equal or everyone's free to make as much as they want? You can't have it BOTH ways.

Let's face it, no one is going to change their philosophy from reading this forum. I'm moving on. Come on Martin. You can't enlighten even the most liberal thinkers.
