"C J Campbell" wrote in message ... Seems a number of people have forgotten that liberalism has abandoned liberal principles. Modern liberalism is just monarchy dressed up in new clothes. It was not so long ago that the people who today call themselves liberals were called aristocrats and Tories. Bingo. Few people today understand the differences between classic liberalism and modern liberalism. They are polar opposites.

I think it is funny as heck that liberals like to compare JFK's administration to Camelot. Shows what their real values are.

I think it odd that Democrats call their party the party of Jefferson. If Jefferson was alive today he'd be vilified by Democrats as a right wing extremist.

He'd also be vilified by Republicans as a godless libertine. Free thinkers are despised by both parties. ". shake off all the fears and servile prejudices, under which weak minds are servilely crouched. Fix reason firmly in her seat, and call to her tribunal every fact, every opinion. Question with boldness even the existence of a God; because, if there be one, he must more approve of the homage of reason, than that of blindfolded fear." -Thomas Jefferson -- Dan C172RG at BFM
