Entry: Toxic Liberation Link: http://www.takimag.com/blogs/article/toxic_liberation#16040 Post contents: The "conservative movement" in the USA is a misnomer. It got started as a reaction against the New Deal. The goal was to restore an earlier version of liberalism. American conservatives believe in free trade, globalization, small government, low taxes, laissez-faire capitalism, religious tolerance, radical individualism, etc. They are unanimous in the belief that "liberty" is the highest good and takes precedence over all other concerns. This political orientation is known as liberalism. The political mainstream in the USA, which is occupied by "liberals" and "conservatives," is a merely a debate between two factions of liberalism over whether priority should be given to "liberty" or "equality." The end result is always more liberalism because there is no real opposition to liberalism in America. Sent at: 2009 01 08
