Default Re: Is Bush a Conservative

It's funny how the meaning of liberalism has changed over the years. At the beginning of the twentieth century, being a liberal meant favoring laissez-faire economic policies and personal choice...the basic elements of liberty. But the socialists co-opted the word liberal and applied it to their economic policies, and suddenly laissez-faire became a conservative policy.
