Does mob mentality rule A2K?

The reason for that
is that the Founders (whose views conservatives definitionally support) were intelligent.
Smart enuf to defeat the English.

Interesting perspective David.

I view the founders of the US as the opposite of conservative as their goal was to shake the status quo to its very foundations. They wanted change - extreme change. They did not like how things were, wanted to change them - and did.

They were liberal in their thinking.






If they hadn't been willing to discard the old views/behaviours, the United States would be part of the British Commonwealth to this day.

Thank u.


Yes, indeed; we agree, Beth. U misunderstood my point.
U refer to a DIFFERENT subject matter of the conservation.
Thay were radically (not liberally) against the Divine Right of Kings
and against the Crown controlling or influencing their former American colonies.



Thay were MORE than liberal; thay were RADICAL.


lib·er·al
ˈlib(ə)rəl/Submit
adjective
1.
open to new behavior or opinions and willing to discard traditional values.

No, not necessarily: Hitler was liberal (i.e., deviant)
as to the Weimar Republic, but not what that lexicografer said ("...freedoms" etc.); agree ??

I was bringing out the point
that Barry Goldwater & I very rigidly & loyally support a literal
application of the Constitution and its underlying filosofy
of limited, curtailed, strangled government jurisdiction,
so as to enhance Individual Freedom at the expense of government jurisdiction.

The subject matter of THAT conservation is the US Constitution.

The subject matter of the conservation
to which YOU referred was the property rights of the King of England.

Apples & oranges; we had 2 different things in mind.

Is my reply to u clear ?
Did I succeed in getting my point across ?

You may want to re-consult your dictionary for the proper usage of words like liberal and liberalism. Adolf Hitler was not liberal under any of my dictionaries' definitions. (My dictionaries are the American Heritage Dictionary and Merriam-Webster.)

yes. I understand that you do not understand the word liberal.

I'm surprised you didn't respond to Setanta with your standard "I'm not going to do your work for you." line.

It doesn't take much to surprise those with a limited imagination.

Been studying Fortune Cookies lately?

I remain un-certain regarding whether
we have had a meeting of the minds or not.
I also remain un-certain of whether your answer
is rendered in jest or not.

Liberal means deviant or loose
in regard to something that has been designated,
e.g., an agreement, or maybe a style of art
which is either applied literally, rigidly,
or loosely and with deviations. It need not be political.

For instance, someone who attends a formal affair
that requires evening attire: if he arrives in a good Tuxedo
and wearing red sneakers, then he is applying a liberal interpretation of formal dress,
because he has deviated from the applicable paradigm. It need not be political.

Do u see what I mean, Beth ?

That is because it is a compound word now. Try liberal fascism it will be easier for you to understand.

That's funny! Your using two words that contradicts the other. LOL

Maybe in your world. The connections and techniques employed by liberals are nothing else but fascism.

Are you afraid of being sent to a concentration camp run by liberal SS?

I am afraid for my grandchildren.

LOL. Afraid you should be, but not of liberals. They are of the "live and let live" kind.

They are not liberals. That is just a name that belies the fact they are progressive statists. They change the meanings of just about anything to suit their needs. And it is done anyway it can be done. There are numerous examples of their double standards and double talk. Any action taken is usually subversive and has to be exposed. And when it is exposed it is promptly blamed on someone else in their long list of whipping boys.

There is no truth in what todays liberals say. And there is no character or principles in their actions.

If you believe that, why do you call them 'liberals'??? Because it has become an insult and you want to insult?

If you read my posts I have made it quite clear what todays liberal is. That I don't call them progressive and fascist all the time is my mistake. Again I attach a different meaning to the word.

Your definition for any word is not worth the jumble of words you use; the dictionary has the correct definition.

Look up **** off.
