Liberalism was a different thing. Peace, love, flowerpower, all that sh*t. Today, it is we're liberals and we're here to grab more power in any way we can, regardless of who we have to run over to do it.

Liberalism is many things but it never was about flowerpower, peace or love. Those elements were part of a peculiar cultural manifestation fused with the coming of age of a whole generation. Liberalism is a much more profound ideology.

I suspect that you were always conservative but "flowerpower" gave you the illusion of being liberal. I certainly don't want my understanding of liberalism to be confused with the 60's notion of peace and love.
