I’m 100% against Nazis. They’re socialist dumbasses. I’m also 100% against Communists. They’re, well, Communists. I say we let them fight each other and then just end the winner when the fight is over.

If you live by a constitution that seeks to protect “natural rights” enabling “classical liberalism” then you are a “constitutional conservative” A constitutional conservative differs from a social conservative as there’s no traditional values that a constitutional conservative wishes to adhere to beyond the protection of rights instilled in the constitution. A constitutional conservative seeks to preserve the conservation of rights in the constitution. Not far off from: A constitutional moderate - belief that government has a proper limited collective role in society, but in that role people should manage government, government should not manage the people. One who refers to the constitution. The constitution then plays a role of moderation in the government’s role and functions A constitutional purist - which is to say that the constitution is a set legal document (as opposed to a living document), and “it says what it says and doesn’t say what it doesn’t say”. There is no room for interpretation to suit your agenda. Whereas most writers are happy for their work to be subject to interpretation, this isn’t the place for that. Be clear, be precise. A constitutional originalist - similar to all of the above but where the conservationist in the first example would likely be open to new paragraphs, the originalist is a purist that doesn’t want to see anything added beyond it’s original ratification and would likely repeal anything that wasn’t set in the original. It’s of paramount importance for any political movement to have viable political rhetoric so I was hoping to add “classically liberal and constitutional conservative” as a means for disarming both sides of the partisan viewpoints - who will tend to dismiss arguments that lean too much to an opposing side. Many of today’s youth have an aversion to the word “Conservative” as it’s often associated with social conservatism which seeks to impose traditions and values on others, and that alone is highly-offensive to anyone with a respect for freedom and liberty. So before I went out of my way to bind phrases likes “Classical liberalism” and “Constitutional conservative” together I had to study the surrounding ideologies behind the phrases - It’s important to remember that cultural warfare happens in the battle of language, and thus words like “Globalist” and “Liberal” have taken on partisan meanings in the political discussion beyond their dictionary definitions. lib·er·al - “favoring maximum individual liberty in political and social reform” Whereas those engaging in the “progressive” push of leftist agenda are referred to as “liberals” they often anything but that, usually seeking regulation in place of liberty in the name of safety and justice, which are usually the first opponents of freedom and liberty. Then there’s “Conservative” Much like their “liberal” counterparts, they also operate under the guise of a word that takes on a plethora of meanings depending on the context and all is disregarded in the name of agenda. By disregarding this principle and only pushing forth social conservatism, they’ve alienated many and it’s become easy for the opposing side to attach a negative connotation to the conservatives. Whereas Republicans are expected to be conservative in government spending you’ll be hard-pressed to find many times where they’ve voted against additional government spending, usually electing to vote for bills that increase spending while remaining unconcerned with the pursuit of a balanced budget leaving all of Washington to run wild at taxpayers’ expense. In today’s political leaders you’d be hardpressed to find either classical liberalism or a constitutional conservatism in any sect of the two major parties. By connecting these phrases and bringing them back into the political lexicon conversations are made free to steer clear of the partisan rhetoric that pervades our political climate. It’s time to take back our language. In place of the negative associations with the word “liberal” we are reminded of the inherent freedom and liberty of classical liberalism. “Constitutional conservative” should not be confused with social conservatism but instead should invoke a sense of “Conservation” of our rights and our freedoms. I will not accept safety in the place of freedom and I will not let you tell me this is the home of the brave if you wish to govern by fear. I affectionately remind you that nowhere in the constitution is their place for government in my medicine cabinet, my refrigerator, my bedroom, my car, my marriage or my toaster. My body is mine. I’m not to be governed by fear and I reject that in principle. Freedom is not subject to regulation. There’s no place for chaos in freedom so long as you do not harm anyone else, and that to me is the whole of the law.
