Is "classical liberal (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Classical_Liberalism)" a good label for most Ron Paul supporters?

"Libertarian" is the new term for classical liberal.

Once upon a time people like Adam Smith, John Locke, and Thomas Jefferson were called "liberals."

People like Al Gore and Barack Obama would have been called socialist or communist.

Now Al Gore and Barack Obama are called liberal.

The god damn left and their FUCKEN esoteric agenda. It shits me off to NO end.

You are NOT progressives, you are REGRESSIVES.

You're socialist tyranny is NOT NEW and it is not progession you fucken assholes. :mad:

</vent>

Check it out now.. there are LEFT-Libertarians.. :rolleyes: etc.

One of the smartest things Rothbard did was call his logical conclusion of libertarianism - Anarcho-CAPITALISM.

Love to see the left assholes try to corrupt that baby. :cool:

Calling it voluntarism or simply anarchism is leaving it open to the Tyranny of the left... in what they use so well - the tyranny of words.

At this point in time, no. The word "liberal" has been so distorted in meaning that we have to use a more specific name. "libertarian", "anarcho-capitalist", "minarchist", "autarchist", and similar sub-categories seem to work better in practice in my experience thus far.
