My Dear Anon, the founding fathers were CLASSICAL liberals. Libertarians.

What's funny is that it has changed so far and a modern liberal is often misconstrued with a historical liberal when really they're just marxist-leninist motherfuckers who just have liberal as a name.
>>
A reappropriation of what liberal actually means. I ride with the Locke definition which basically boils down to as much individual liberty as is possible without infringing upon others.
I would never call myself liberal now because it basically means the total opposite.
Used to be small government, individual responsibility. Now it's big government, zero personal responsibility.

The founding fathers were socially liberal but economically conservative that's the problem

Basically. One day there was a a grand pig who had grand ideas that inspired the Pig's run to freedom

Two pigs took over from there and eventually the tryranicle Pig took charge

With the help of a media Pig, his sheep and his hounds, he took total control of the Farm

You mean the one one who's platform is full of things about how life isn't fair, and the government should do something about it by passing a bunch of laws? I believe the word you are looking for is statist. As is you're a statist faggot, not a liberal.
>>
>>67686564

Locke may have been a theist but it doesn't disprove his logic. Classic liberalism is the best way for a society to be healthy and thrive. We must provide opportunity for everyone, we must not infringe on individual liberty to enforce equality of outcome.

The key point that modern liberals miss is the difference between equality of opportunity and equality of outcome. It is our duty as freemen to create a civilisation that allows everyone to fulfill their potential without encroaching on the rights of the individual.

That's the crux of what Locke was getting at and the current libertarian movement embodies. It's what America was fucking built upon.
Sadly it has been coopted by those without the moral fortitude to succeed on their own merits and turned into a totally useless fugazi pity party for every shiftless sack of shit that was ever born.

Individual responsibility is everything. Without that impetus no civilisation can prevail indefinitely.

You are probably correct. Without the religious context it is nigh on impossible to convince the masses to actually live wholesome, productive lives for the benefit of their offspring. That said it's not absolutely theistic as a political ideology.
We just need to find something greater than ourselves to convince the average moron to fulfill their potential.

Liberals are never satisfied. They will always sniff out oppression and ally themselves with the oppressed, or even claim to be one themselves, no matter who is being persecuted or for what. These oppressed will be more taboo and more twisted than the ones who preceded them. The liberal must always hold a victim complex.

For thousandth time: American newspeak.

Socialism was outlawed there, so Leftists decided to call themself "liberal". While the actual liberals blended into both the left, where they've pushed for civic rights and the right, where they've pushed for liberal economy. The few purest liberals decided to call themselves librarians, or some shit.

Ignorant racist Brits like you are a disgrace to the country. Learn some history. The British empire contained a huge range of races but the slave trade was abolished in 1807 and slave-owning completely in 1833 - didn't take a civil war either and there was no huge meltdown. During the War of 1812 absconded slaves flocked to the British army and fought with honour against the American invaders of Canada. They were rewarded with homes in the British Caribbean territories.

Get this through your thick skulls - it is possible to be a conservative without being a racist shithead traitor like you nazi arseholes.
