This is not the kind of a blog where anybody is likely to buy your Teabagger philosophy.<br /><br />If you want to keep trying to convince yourself that there are other Teabaggers out there and this isn't an exclusively American brand of insanity, that's up to you. But you've got to know that outside the Teabagger coterie nobody is buying this junk.Clarissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11027134365260069910noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3164556861454970487.post-20674329004601101492010-10-08T23:05:43.953-04:002010-10-08T23:05:43.953-04:00Not all dictionaries provide all precise and accur...Not all dictionaries provide all precise and accurate definitions. That's one reason why there is an abundant variety of them. The definitions you provide above without citing the source are flawed and incomplete. <br /><br />"Liberal" fails to mention the original classical definition of the word as associated with laissez faire capitalism.<br /><br />The political definitions of "Libertario" only refer to anarchists. There ARE marxist-anarchist "libertario" movements in Latin American that for some unknown reason have borrowed that term from capitalist libertarianism. However, the original definition of "liberario" in European langauges refers to one who essentially advocates limited government; a market economy not politically manipulated by government; secular law and government with social tolerance and equal rights under the law for all; and a neutral, non-interventionist foreign policy with international trade and commmerce.<br /><br />I suggest you read this if you haven't already:<br /><br />http://bit.ly/cvb8JhLa Voz Liberaltaria de Tijuanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14491577950274229170noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3164556861454970487.post-71376695352404546082010-10-08T09:58:10.625-04:002010-10-08T09:58:10.625-04:00I hate "working as a dictionary", but ju...I hate "working as a dictionary", but just this once:<br /><br />Liberal.<br /><br />Sinónimos.<br /><br />liberal: socialdemócrata, demócrata, progresista, independiente, libre, abierto, tolerante.<br /><br />Libertario.<br /><br />Sinónimos.<br /><br />Libertario: eximente, redentor, anárquico, ácrata, anarquista<br /><br />Referring to VL with any of these words is kind of ridiculous.<br /><br />Please, in the future, try consulting a dictionary first.Clarissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11027134365260069910noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3164556861454970487.post-55533767604552321962010-10-07T23:47:58.305-04:002010-10-07T23:47:58.305-04:00I read your response regarding Vargas Llosa on the...I read your response regarding Vargas Llosa on the "Classical Liberal" blog and posted a response there. In Spanish, the political terms "liberal" and "libertario" are synonymous.

(I'm convinced that Amazon is always one of the winners of the Nobel boon every year, considering how many people will buy his books today just because of the announcement.)<br /><br />The ones I ordered were "The Bad Girl" (it had a catchy title), "The Feast of the Goat" and "The storyteller." <br /><br />I look forward to relishing this new meal with delight.KThttp://www.ktravula.comnoreply@blogger.com
