[QUOTE="wkmac, post: 1793946, member: 2189"] [B]Conservative[/B], n. A statesman who is enamored of existing evils, as distinguished from the Liberal, who wishes to replace them with others. [Ambrose Bierce, "Devil's Dictionary," 1911] Modern liberalism with the emphasis on modern and in its noun form, you would be for the most part correct. Historically however and in its adjective form, not so much. You might note that the root word of liberal comes from the latin "liber" from which we get the words liberal, liberty, libertarian and also library as in Roman times the word was associated with books, where one gains knowledge which is a fundamental aspect of liberty. As to the etymology in its adjective form: And then there is classical liberalism which is important to the American form of libertarianism especially as it has generally manifested in the latter 20th century.
