Tyler Cowen joins Marian Tupy to discuss the New Right, the relationship between freedom and progress, and whether classical liberalism is equipped to meet today's political challenges.
Cowen states : "In history, there are these periodic classically liberal moments. The American Revolution and the collapse of communism would be two of the most visible."
....... "classically liberal moments" ! REALLY ? CLASSICAL LIBERAL MOMENTS !! HIS WORDS !!!!
The American Revolution.....led to a republic....led by George Washington.....a Liberal Republican !
The collapse of the Berlin Wall was the culminating point of the revolutionary changes sweeping East Central Europe in 1989. Throughout the Soviet bloc, reformers assumed power and ended over 40 years of dictatorial Communist rule.
The Berlin Wall fell in 1989, and the US President at the time was George H.W. Bush. He had taken office in 1989 and his presidency oversaw the fall of the Berlin Wall and the subsequent collapse of the Soviet Union.
George Herbert Walker Bush (June 12, 1924 – November 30, 2018) was the 41st president of the United States, serving from 1989 to 1993. A member of the Republican Party, he also served as the 43rd vice president from 1981 to 1989 under Ronald Reagan and previously in various other federal positions...........PLEASE NOTE : ALL OF THESE ARE REPUBLICAN PRESIDENTS !
Surely ONE of the GREATEST LIBERAL MOMENTS was the Emancipation of Slavery !
Britain [ a CONSERVATIVE GOVERNMENT ] officially abolished slavery across the British Empire with the Slavery Abolition Act of 1833, which received royal assent on August 28, 1833. The Act took effect on August 1, 1834......America had to wait a further 30 years....until President Abraham Lincoln's Emancipation Proclamation of January 1, 1863, declared that “all persons held as slaves”
in the Confederacy “shall be then, thenceforward, and forever free".....in the third year of the American Civil War !....but it did not abolish slavery nationwide. Lincoln then championed the 13th Amendment, which permanently abolished slavery and involuntary servitude throughout the country. LINCOLN WAS ..........AS YOU HAS ALREADY REALISED..........A REPUBLICAN !!!!
So , in essence , THE REPUBLICANS ARE THE TRUE LIBERALS and the TRUE REFORMERS !
You can add TRUMP to that list too !
It is long-overdue that these REVISIONIST HISTORIANS , and especially the UNIVERSITIES and the
MEDIA , STARTED PUBLISHING THE TRUTH AND THE FACTS . The American people have been MISLED and LIED TO for 3 or more generations by the very people they should most TRUST !
The DEMOCRATS were the SLAVE OWNERS......THE REPUBLICANS released the slaves ! FACT
LIBERTARIANS were REPUBLICANS..........DEMOCRATS twisted the narrative ! [ They LIED !!! ]
Pollyanna personified !............. Deliberately blind !................Can't see the wood for the trees !
Won't know what it was that hit him when reality strikes home !
Life DOES get better and better......the entire world is improving ECONOMICALLY...............but ,
due to several factors , mostly excessive TOLERANCE , Western Christian Liberal Ideals are being discarded thoughtlessly , and the traditional Western Free-Enterprise Capitalist Democratic
SOCIETY and CULTURE is being deliberately undermined and replaced by other , less successful ,
less cohesive and less fit-for-purpose ideas and ideologies ! It is great to have a prosperous and successful ECONOMY but unless you have a RICH CULTURAL COHESIVENESS you will lose your SOCIETY , your purpose and your way. Our "religious leaders" have become so tolerant that they have become useless , ineffective cultural eunuchs , mere apologists for those who intend us harm !
We now NEED a TRUMP to point out important things like that !
You may deride him but , boy oh! boy , he has thrown down the gauntlet with GREAT FLAIR and GREAT COURAGE and invited YOU ALL to participate in RESTORING AMERICA and AMERICAN VALUES like no other POTUS before him ! You have all been empowered to make the effort !
It's up to you NOW...............or are you going to remain "gutless bystanders" ?
This was a great conversation.
No.........it wasn't ! It was an ideological continuation of THE LIE ........a twisted narrative
to RE-WRITE and RE-INTERPRET HISTORY against the REPUBLICANS ........and by default......
favour the reprehensible DEMOCRATS.....who deserve all the opprobrium you can possibly heap onto them !
