To live or die for Dixie!

You said you associate liberalism with socialism, which is laughable.

 

I said they contain some similarities. Sixty years ago I might have called myself more of a Liberal than I would today. The definition has been muddied over the years. But in reality I can no longer find a single term that would fully define my personal philosophy. Wouldn't any discussion be more productive if directed toward a particular problem?

 

you must not know the definition of liberalism

 

I know the definition, but it appears to have been redefined by many of those I speak with who claim to be Liberals. Would you consider yourself to be a Liberal?

 

this thread has gone to hell, nothing but insults, misdirected quotes and misunderstood historical facts. Too bad, as it started off as a decent discussion. This kind of thread is the reason I dont come to the politics forum lol

 

Yeah, I stopped reading it several pages ago.

 

Samson, AL perhaps? Been through there many times.

 

I 've spent the majority of my life in the south. I beg to differ.
