	List of liberal leaders - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		(Redirected from List of liberal thinkers and leaders)
		The list of self- or otherwise proclaimed liberal leaders is now part of the articles on liberalism by country.

	Liberalism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Liberalism can trace its roots back to the humanism that began to challenge the authority of the established church during Renaissance, and the Whigs of the Glorious Revolution in Great Britain, whose assertion of their right to choose their king can be seen as a precursor to claims of popular sovereignty.
		Liberals are in favour of a pluralist system in which differing political and social views, even those viewed as extreme or fringe compete for political power on a democratic basis and have the opportunity to achieve power through periodically held elections.
		Liberals claim to believe that war can be abolished and world peace and economic prosperity can flourish if all nations loyally adhere to a world organization of all nations (the United Nations Organization), under the same law and equity, and with power to enforce strict observance of all international obligations freely entered into.

	Classical Liberalism. Politics. democracy. separation of powers, liberal justice
		Liberalism, in contrast, views all people as more or less equally imperfect beings, who are capable of good and bad actions and therefore unqualified to judge the others.
		This principle of liberal justice was established in the Magna Carta imposed by English barons and churchmen to King John of England in 1215.
		Liberal democracies are based on political parties, which result from the freedom of expression and of association.

	Dadmanly: I am a Liberal
		Liberalism submits that the best kind of social order is one in which each individual is given the widest berth in the pursuit of her personal aims and the realization of her basic human capacities, limited only by the equal freedom of others.
		A liberal order is neither imposed from the top by coercive authority nor settled in the middle by a common worldview prescribing the pursuit of a uniform aim.
		If we say that liberalism cannot tolerate its own demise, what we mean is that individuals in pursuit of their happiness cannot tolerate the breakdown of the conditions under which that pursuit is most likely to succeed.

	Authentic Liberalism - Chap.V. Politics Part II. Laws, punishment, debts, democracy, elections, leadership
		In contrast, the classical liberal approach, influenced by Biblical precepts and Greek philosophers (d1), is oriented toward protection of debtors and their families.
		Liberal measures on this issue are already specified in the Magna Carta imposed upon King John of England as early as the 13th century (d2).
		In many liberal constitutions and legislation, the right to preserve some assets from forced sale in payment of debts is granted to all the inhabitants by means of the simple procedure of declaring them "family assets" (d3).

	UUA News & Events: Sermon by Davidson Loehr: Living Under Fascism
		It is opposed to classical liberalism [which] denied the State in the name of the individual; Fascism reasserts the rights of the State as expressing the real essence of the individual." (In 1932 Mussolini wrote, with the help of Giovanni Gentile, an entry for the Italian Encyclopedia on the definition of fascism.
		Religious rhetoric and terminology is common from government leaders, even when the major tenets of the religion are diametrically opposed to the government's policies or actions.
		And the new liberal vision must be larger than that of the conservative religious vision that will be appointing judges, writing laws and bending the cultural norms toward hatred and exclusion for the foreseeable future.

		Leading the list are a brace of politicians, thinkers and activists who have helped frame America's response to the threats, driving the administration's war policy or leading opposition to it, rallying support for beleaguered Israel and building new and unfamiliar alliances.
		Because of the sharpness of the debates there are fewer consensus leaders on the list this year than in years past, and more ideologues of right and left.
		Meanwhile, liberals and moderates within the conference, long suspicious of Hoenlein's hawkish personal leanings, have begun a drive for structural reforms that would saddle him with a steering committee looking over his shoulder.

	Liberalism in the Netherlands
		It is limited to liberal parties with substantial support, mainly proved by having had a representation in parliament.
		It took until 1885 that liberals organise themselves in a party and for most of the time liberals are divided in traditional and more social liberals.
		In Netherlands liberals fought in 1848 to gain a new parliament from King William II of the Netherlands.

		Liberal arts classes tend to focus on ideas and how to handle them, and the courses are organized around reading books, having discussions, and composing papers.
		Liberal arts degrees are great preparation for careers in business, teaching, journalism, law, the arts, and many other careers.
		Liberal arts majors, particularly those in the quantitative or analytic liberal arts (economics, statistics, psychology, life sciences, etc.) have excellent problem solving skills, and are able to frame a problem, consider options and make reasoned decisions based on investigation.

	The Rise, Decline, And Reemergence Of Classical Liberalism (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		The phrase "the rise of classical liberalism" does not mean that a consistent and unified set of beliefs emerged intact in the late 17th century from the mind of John Locke.
		This may be measured by works' publication, thinkers achieving positions of authority and prominence, the toleration of and perhaps aquiesance to classical liberal critiques of existing policies and practices, etc. I explore the chronology of this tradition in the following study of its thinkers and movements.
		Later thinkers such as Frederick Bastiat (who lived from 1801 to 1850 and penned the satirical "Petition from the Manufacturers of Candles" in 1845 and the celebrated The Law in 1849) acknowledged the influence of Cobden and his colleagues on their personal philosophies.

	TAP: Vol 14, Iss. 9. Bullies in the Pulpit. Sarah Wildman. (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		It was the beginning of an extremely successful collaboration between a savvy White House and Catholic conservatives to reach a "core" of religious swing voters by focusing on moral issues like abortion.
		The Rev. Robert Sirico—president and co-founder of the Acton Institute, a conservative think tank that teaches the clergy about free-market economics, and a participant in the Thursday morning White House conferences—believes that these are not political denunciations but spiritual ones.
		That means that while Hudson and other participants in the Thursday morning calls with the White House may be marketing conservative social-renewal Catholics to the Republican Party, the base might not take so kindly to some of the rhetoric in Washington this past year.

		Recently, articles about a new “study” done by a group of college professors entitled “Political Conservatism as Motivated Social Cognition,” decry the authors’ depictions of conservatives, all conservatives as having certain character traits which in effect explain why people are conservatives.
		The professors list a number of characteristics which they have learned are necessary elements in a conservative’s makeup.
		There is another professor who is part of the study, who is from Maryland; suffice it to say, he thinks he is very smart, at least, from what could be gathered from his website, he seems to want everyone to think he is right about that observation.

		This is a good sign in the clash between science and religious fundamentalism, because his endorsement will probably force to the floor the bill that allows the stem cell research that Bush has vowed to veto, isolating Bush in his increasingly unpopular stance on the issue.
		Liberal activists can also identify cases in which Roberts advocated positions antithetical to the goals of labor, environmental groups, and supporters of affirmative action.
		Liberal activists respond that in some circumstances, it's perfectly appropriate to press a judicial nominee about positions that he or she has taken as an advocate.

	The American Spectator
		Inside liberal think-tanks, there are Democratic foreign-policy experts who are challenging some of Bush's most basic assumptions about the post-9-11 world -- including, most provocatively, the very idea that we are, in fact in a war.
		In the liberal view, the enemy more closely resembles an especially murderous drug cartel. Instead of military might, liberal thinkers believe, the moment calls for a combination of expansive diplomacy abroad and interdiction at home, an effort more akin to the war on drugs than to any conventional war of the last century.
		For more than 25 years, beginning with the U.S. Supreme Court's 1960s decisions in criminal procedure and the academically driven "deprisonization movement," liberals rooted around the country looking for the "root causes" of crime, always promising they were just ahead and that the problem was about to be solved.

		Following is a partial listing of previous MLA seminars.
		With the partial introduction of western concepts of law and individual freedom as well as the liberalization of the press in Russia, the ensuing two decades witnessed unprecedented social ferment and creative flowering, above all of the great Russian realist novel.
		After a generation of relatively sharp political differences between parties and their policies under leaders such as Reagan, Thatcher, and Kohl, there is now a growing convergence between government and their oppositions so that real political and policy differences are slight.
