of course if freedom from liberal govt was delusional you'd would not be so afraid to point out why. What does your fear teach you? Ever see a conservative have to run from a debate? What does that teach you.

I already told you that conservatives run from debates all the time.

I would ask what your lack of reading comprehension teaches you, but considering your inability to form a logical argument, the question is pointless.

(The only reason I don't put you on ignore is that once in a while you say something so ridiculous that the laughter truly makes my day.)

why not cut the substance free BS and try to say just one thing in support of liberalism?

I've said plenty of good things about liberalism (and I've also said it isn't perfect). All you have to do is pay attention and you would know this.

why not cut the substance free BS and try to say just one intelligent thing in support of liberalism or admit you cant with your silence or attempts to change the subject?

You're a different drummer by going on a debate site and being afraid to debate?

You want to hear one intelligent thing in support of liberalism? You likely won't understand it. . . but here goes:

Liberalism supports ideas that are compatible with freedom of speech, freedom of the press, freedom of religion, free markets, civil rights, democratic societies, secular governments, gender equality, and international cooperation.

Don't play with your goal posts. You asked me to say one intelligent thing in support of liberalism, and I did. Not my problem if (as predicted) you didn't understand it.

Conservatism supports ideas that are compatible with freedom of speech, freedom of the press, freedom of religion, free markets, civil rights, democratic societies, secular governments, gender equality, and international cooperation.

I feel sorry for you if you think the above is a meaningful statement. Do you understand that everybody claims to support freedom of speech although the left here for the moment supports safe spaces where only liberal speech is allowed.

I don't feel at all sorry for you. In fact, I'm done with your off-topic whining. Stop trolling and start addressing the actual topics of the threads here.

translation: when asked to say something intelligent in support of liberalism I said: "liberalism supports ideas that are compatible with freedom of speech, freedom of the press, freedom of religion, free markets, civil rights, democratic societies, secular governments, gender equality, and international cooperation."

So how, in theory, is overall wealth supposed to grow in a capitalist economy?

very very simple. new wealth comes from new inventions. We got from the stone age to here thanks to the supply of new inventions. This is why Republicans support supply side economics.

All of which is true. Now get back on topic.

The last part is totally irrelevant. New inventions are developed regardless of whether the prevailing economic system is demand-side or supply-side.
