What is Classical Liberalism?

by Skip

Certainly, it is not those values that a Progressive / Liberal now holds (or, at least, they’d REALLY have to twist themselves into pretzels in order to justify their present rhetoric in these declarative definitions:

However, if you DO do the research, one just might find out that my phrase, incremental socialism = progressivism, holds true.  And while I may not be a 100% Classical Liberal, I can assure you that those that call themselves Liberals are not Classical Liberals anymore.

Nowadays, that mantle is more worn by Conservatives and Libertarians.

    Co-founder of GraniteGrok, my concern is around Individual Liberty and Freedom and how the Government is taking that away. As an evangelical Christian and Conservative with small "L" libertarian leanings, my fight is with Progressives forcing a collectivized, secular humanistic future upon us. As a TEA Party activist, citizen journalist, and pundit!, my goal is to use the New Media to advance the radical notions of America's Founders back into our culture.
