I'm not going to speak for deprave but I think he may be using the word liberal to describe the "classic liberal" which was the forerunner of today's libertarian, of which I proudly consider myself.
As to the poll, I thank deprave for listing me as a candidate and I truly feel that being considered is the real honor. Unlike the upcoming election, we have a full slate of qualified candidates. I like all of them and do not want to show favoritism, so I am voting for myself.

I don't think you are a classic liberal.

I think I am.

I don't think you know what you are talking about.
I do man, you are not a classic liberal and I am. I think we should settle this right here - I am the only classic liberal on this site.


Let us take a test and see.

I challenge you to a liberal duel!

Look out Neutron. When it comes to new liberalism, he's sharper than a ginsu.

That duel would come down to canndo and abandonconflict. Both sliced and diced to the size of cubed ham bits...

yeah, sounds fun.


You and I have argued at some length - reasonably and I respect you and your opinions. Presuming that you respect mine, or even that you remember what I argue - give me your assessment of where you think I am no a plot - left and right in relation to authoritarian, libertarian.


Now I believe myself to be left libertarian. I believe you to be more left authoritarian and further that you will fall to my right.


Tell me where you think I am and then we will each take a test - answer it honestly and see.

New liberalism vs classic liberalism. We need to define the terms before there can be any claims of who is what.

Kelly brings up a valid point - we will have to describe classicl liberalism vs the "new" liberalism or progressivism or what ever it is.

classical liberal = Defenders of humanity against corporations and government.
modern liberal = big government defenders of humanity against republicans and the private sector lol

na just make it easy, classic liberal is a 'libertarian', modern advocates for social freedoms but big government(little do they realize the two contradict each other lol had to throw that in there)
