Liberalism is an archaic term that can mean:
- an economic view in support of free enterprise
- a political philosophy based on a belief in progress and goodness in man
- a Protestant movement embracing intellectual liberty
- support of individual liberty
The term is almost never used in contemporary political discourse in the United States. Instead, if you ask a Liberal what Liberalism means, he would most likely not understand as a Liberal in the United States favours deceit over the truth, and Socialism over Capitalism. Indeed, Liberals have been at the forefront of every major societal catastrophe, such as the Sexual Revolution and the downfall of the family unit. When approaching a Liberal, it is important to remember their contempt for the truth as although what they say may be enticing, it is important to remember the Christian virtue of self control in order to survive such a conversation. Ann Coulter wrote a book about what to do when caught in one of these situations.
