Could Not Have Said It Better Myself

The American Thinker nearly always has thought provoking articles. Today I highly recommend The Law Liberals Always Break by Edmund Wright.

Mr. Wright lays out the liberal fallacy very well. I disagree on one of his last points, however. I'm not sure so much that Liberals believe in the "perfectability of the human race," it seems to me they have no faith in the human race, they believe they have to take care of us b/c we're so incompetent. As a communication specialist, I have to add that the labels of "liberal vs. conservative" have become anachronistic and meaningless. I think the "conservatives" could experience renewal by developing a new label.

Thanks for posting a comment. I am delighted to get some feed back at last. I agree that the liberal/conservative labels are misused and misunderstood, but they have become shorthand for "approximate thinking" (that's a new term I've made up) as opposed to precise thinking. What the word, "liberal," means to a liberal is far different from the meaning a conservative gives to the word. If you can come up with a new label for "conservative," I'll work in the PR campaign to make it popular.
