I wasn't defending liberalism by any means. What I would really like is a party which stood for both economic liberty as well as social liberty. With the conservatives, you generally get the economic side (the current US administration not withstanding) and with the liberals, you get the social side. I want freedom on both ends. In practice, I see no difference between socialism and fascism. Perhaps the worst is the centrists, the populists who try to please everybody.

As the saying goes, "He who stands for nothing will fall for anything."
