You don't believe in centrist positions? I do.

And what...is a 'classic liberal'?

Stanford says, "Classical liberals employ a second argument connecting liberty and private property. Rather than insisting that the freedom to obtain and employ private property is simply one aspect of people’s liberty, this second argument insists that private property effectively protects liberty, and no protection can be effective without private property."

Henry's pro liberty and pro private property, and perceives a key link between the latter and the former. That's a Classical Liberal basic.

I couldn't give a flying rat's turd what 'Stanford' has to say about it. It can't even spell 'encyclopaedia'.
If Henry's a 'classical liberal' (but, heaven forbid, never 'liberal' (because apparently the two have opposite meanings ) ), then you are a 'classical fool'.

Yeah, I thought that's what you'd say.

And if the reason for American illiteracy is some misguided attempt to make English 'more phonetic' then how the hell do they justify taking the 'ae' out of encyclopaedia and replacing it with just 'e'? Do Americans pronounce it, encyclo 'ped' ia, with a short 'e' sound (rhyming with 'peg')? I think not. They are just being arrogant, contrary fuckwits.

So you don't believe "the Left" really exists? But you think "the Right" does?

Funny that there could be a "right wing," as you call it, and just a big, vacant space on the "left" of that.

I did not say "THE right" as if it were some sort of homogeneous evil the way you use "THE left".

Nice, succinct way to describe the philosophy or your cuntry--''Do what we say or we'll bomb you coz we got da biggest boom booms''. Gee. I wonder why y'all are so well loved around the planet? Americans; sophisticated and enlightened thinkers.
You really do need to ban those revolting things you shove in your babies' mouths.

Which woulda been nice if they coulda done unannounced inspections.

No, Iran was subject to self-inspection and and 'appointments' (we'll be there in 30 days, so don't even think about cleanin' up the site we'll be inspectin'...and since we'll only be inspectin' that site, if you have any black sites, well, shame on you!).

There shoulda never been a deal, only a warning.

Actually I'm glad you are on here because you reinforce everything I say about Americans. You are a living, breathing example of the fact that there are no 'stereotypes', only 'types'.
'Stereotype'; add that to the long list of PCfuckturd buzzwords.
