What is Liberal Thinking & Who is the Most Liberal

Liberal has been the most improperly understood word in American politics, and politics around the world. The current understood definition is linked to a social meaning. The word literally means "freedom." I doubt most of us want less freedom.

However, in the political world, it is a term linked in the social sense. We automatically link Democrats or other parties that what social freedoms to this term. It is important to understand however that without economic liberalism, social freedoms will collapse. Because of this, it is improper to call Democrats liberals, for there economic policy are more linked to Socialism than Liberal Economics.

Liberal Economics is the best type of economics. It promotes freedom in social and economic sense. These policy were traditionally linked to Reagan and other past Republicans (Harding, Coolidge). Therefore, according to my definition, Reagan (The Founder of the "Conservative Revolution") is a liberal. However, this party is beginning to drop the Economic Freedom and merger the Socialism with almost a totalitarianism that is linked to fascism. There are few political organizations today that understand basic Economics. I will explain to you how Classic Liberal Capitalism would save the country, and what must be done to do this.
