Madisonian Liberal


 

In 2015, Todd Horwitz posted an article on on the Ron Paul-sponsored website Voices of Liberty aimed at restoring the definition of liberal. Horwitz explained:

“Today’s liberals are not liberal at all. They are elitists, communists, and socialists that believe that they should dictate how people live. The true liberals are conservatives that try to restore the country to the way the founding fathers envisioned it.”

Adding that “current progressives want to provide basics for individuals to keep them in power, but are not interested in individual rights.”

Perhaps there is no more persuasive evidence of the unmerited coopting of the “liberal” label by Progressives than the relationship between the writings of the poster boy of classical liberalism, John Locke, and the man identified (inaccurately) as the “Father of the Constitution,” James Madison.

  1. For years I have carried a stock military 1911A1. I am SERIOUSLLY thinking about trading my near mint M1903 for a new Sig P220 in .45ACP. I think that a SA/DA .45 that will feed any ammo and is corrosion proof to USN SEAL standards (with tritium sights) might be an appropriate upgrade at this stage of human relations. IMO time is run out for those of us that do not wish to bear the communist yoke and are still willing to keep the tree of Liberty alive.

      Most assuredly and for some reason I thought it only came in 9mm, so I'll look into it again. Thanks.
