Wooly thinking
Very comfortable when worn close to the skin
I hate liberalism. And I hate 'X'. Therefore 'X' is liberalism.
Does anyone think that's valid reasoning?
If you're going to bitch about "liberalism", don't you think you should know what it actually IS, instead of shoving everything you don't like into one big pile, and throwing the lable "liberal" at it?
According to the dictionary :
Liberalism : A political theory founded on the natural goodness of humans and the autonomy of the individual and favoring civil and political liberties, government by law with the consent of the governed, and protection from arbitrary authority. An economic theory in favor of laissez-faire,
the free market, and the gold standard.
