This is not a very complicated concept buddy. We don't revert to technical terms that aren't even applicable in a modern context in order to prove a point. If you want to rebut the points made earlier, don't run to the dictionary. That was transparent as hell.

Some conservatives identify as classically liberal. However, social conservatism has completely dominated in the United States.

One basic foundational aspect of classical liberalism is opposition to direct democracy, and yet I can't count the amount of times I've seen conservatives on this forum whine that gays and activist judges are trumping the "Will of the people", and they claim majority rules in this country.

Oh so it is true when they say conservatives are hostile to facts. You've basically just told me not to cite reputable sources like the dictionary when arguing. What is so wrong with using facts to prove a point? Is that idea too foreign to you guys?

It's even dumber than that. They don't know the difference between classical liberalism and modern liberalism.

Why do many liberals dislike libertarians? I never understood that.

But it's perfectly ok for you all to claim liberals are communists?
