You say you're Liberal I say Conservative,
Libervat, Conservalib,
Conservaral, Libertive... Let's call the whole thing off.

Labels and even speech become useless as the Socialists re-define words. Democracy means a Republic, Wasteful spending is Stimulus, Leftist fascism means Republicans, Theft from one to give charity to another is called Progressive Income Tax etc.

I used to classify myself as a Liberal until I realized that the current philosophy we call Liberal is the opposite of the one the founders lived, due to Democrat/Socialist new speak.

The Conservatives were the Monarchists who wanted to conserve their positions and the Monarchy. The rest of us believed in Liberty and individual effort and were liberals.

The conservatives of old re-named themselves as progressives when the Marxist State replaced the King.
When the evils of Communism and Nazism were revealed the progressives usurped the moniker of Liberal.

Today's Liberal is the Conservative of yesteryear; wanting a strong state, central planning and control much like the authority of the king.

Today's Conservative is the Liberal of old; knowing that preserving liberty requires a free market economy and individual effort rather than state planning and wage and price controls.
