Words and meanings have been distorted for so long, that sometimes it’s nice to go back to the basics. Conservatives don’t overthrow the established order and create new forms of government from scratch. I personally have problems with specifics that are contained in the writings of a number of these guys, but the basic concepts are what make this country a good place, when they are allowed to be expressed.

The second group hated corporations for a very good reason, they had been victimized by them. The Boston Tea Party was an anti-corporation act directed at the WalMart of the 18th century, the British East India Company.

I’ve lived in Europe, so I know about European liberalism, and it is tied to economic policies. There are American liberals who think more socialism is necessary, but the only time there is a big push for a government take over is when the corporations have failed miserably.

Took a quiz on Facebook that labeled me as a “left social moderate”. Whatever that means. 🙂
