I voted for the first, but a liberal and a socialist is not the same thing. A libertarian in the American sense is a liberal, or more precisely a libertine, right winger. A socialist is someone who believes that money should not be the primary measure of someone's worth and that society needs to intervene to prevent this from being the case in some way, whether it's through government or voluntary associations like unions or communes.

The Socialist Progressive, in fear of incarceration and retaliation for their Fascist & Marxism Communist leanings, They crawled uder a rock, only to reemerge rebranded as Liberals. Using name games to fool the people. There was nothing liberty oriented about liberals. Take rights and grant privileges, is not liberty. It is control.

Which do you prefer?
Since neither is accurate the answer is Neither.

Considering that I've seen the ignorant things you've said about conservatives, that seems to be an exceptionally stupid thing for you to wish for. Such an order would immediately silence you.

Myths?

Opinions being presented as facts is what this is.

You have the Conservative Golden Rule so completely wrong. The correct version is "He who has the gold makes all the rules." Everyone else either obeys those rules or gets life in prison for disturbing the peace (if you are lucky since the use of deadly or excessive force has been approved.)"
