Can you be a liberal who wants limited government like the nations founding fathers wanted?

Yes. Thats true meaning of the word liberal. Classical liberal = libertarian.

Because the socialist party stole the name liberal in 1927, today we would recondnize the founding fathers as libertarians if they were living today.

Yes, and maybe together we can achieve it. My daughter echoes my thought, Merry Christmas to you and your family.

Anyone who wants the government to operate like in the times of the founding fathers need to realize things have changed in the past few hundred years. Things have changed and our government should reflect that change or it won't be effective.

That would be a "Classical" Liberal. Open minded, but cautious, self reliant and forward thinking.

The founding fathers WERE liberals. Conservatives supported King George. Nothing has changed in 235 years.

Oh, yeah -- on e thing I different -- the Boston TEA PARTY were liberal citizens engaging in civil disobedience to protest conservative corruption and taxes on the middle class -- like Occupy Wall Street.

"Government is instituted for the common good; for the protection, safety, prosperity, and happiness of the people; and not for profit, honor, or private interest of any one man, family, or class of men; therefore, the people alone have an incontestable, unalienable, and indefeasible right to institute government; and to reform, alter, or totally change the same, when their protection, safety, prosperity, and happiness require it.

This question broadly generalizes in more ways than one "The Men who oppose a strong & energetic government are, in my opinion, narrow minded politicians" -- George Washington; from letter to Alexander Hamilton (July 10, 1787).

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
