    Classical Liberalism

    This really nails 10 core principles of classical liberalism succinctly (follow link to youtube page):

    1) Liberty as the primary political value
    2) Individualism
    3) Skepticism about power
    4) Rule of Law
    5) Civil Society
    6) Spontaneous Order
    7) Free Markets
    8) Toleration
    9) Peace
    10) Limited Government

    Modern liberalism is the opposite.

    That's why I've been a libertarian since before I knew what it was. And the thing in, more and more people are seeing themselves that way. There is hope for America is we can save her in time.

    I ust wish the Republican Party would do more than pay lip service to classical liberalism.

    Modern liberals are socialists, nothing at all like classical liberals.

    Yes, it is, or at least here in the US. Damn shame such a wonderful philosophy has been $#@!ized into another flavor of authoritarianism.
