Quote:Originally, liberalism

Originally, republicunts were anti-slavery. In politics, origins mean little.

But to an ideology core values matter, otherwise the word used to describe it loses meaning. If you are a liberal you should like "liberty" - Private property, freedom and life seem fundamental values to me

Whoever fights monsters should see to it that in the process he does not become a monster. And if you gaze long enough into an abyss, the abyss will gaze back into you
