KarlMarx said:The people we characterize a "liberal" today don't fit the original definition.
I believe that in the past a "liberal" education included a study of western thought and the classics. The idea was that by doing so would give a person a broader education.
Now at least some "liberals" seem to be hell bent on erasing western values and culture. Many of those liberals even seem to think that Western Civilization is evil. Given that, I think the term "socialist" or "neo-Marxist" might be a better term.
Much is true....the liberals of years gone by - I mean from JFK and back are completely differnent to the liberals of today.
I used to be one and had this image that people should do what they want when they want and the conservatives were stuffed shirts - who had hard nosed opinions of everything. I used to think that if a job opened up - it should be offered to the minority (whoever that happened to be) before offering it to anyone else...why? Because they need more opportunities than anyone else...than I realized - you know, the whole light in attick thing going on - that its up to you...Today I think of liberals as people who want everything for nothing...whinning all the time ... instead of blaming yourself for your own woes, blame society....if your kid is holy terror - it is societies fault - if you murder someone - its societies fault....
