I characterized the attempt to nationalize health care as extremist, not liberalism in every part of its program. Each element of the characterization was drawn from the preceding discussion of the particular issues.

Earlier, I am discussing why I consider some positions moderate, that are clearly identified nowadays with conservatism, and contrasting them with positions that would be considered liberal. In this instance, I am dealing with common usage, which differs. There is no contradiction, they are two different exercises. Even in this account, however, Clintoncare was extremist, because it was an attempt at nationalization, and that is why it lost resoundingly.

I consider the preceding to have answered the question.

Anyway, the post in question was merely descriptive, not partisan. Nor was there any reason to read that subtext. I did not say, nor do I believe, that liberals only care about equality, nor that conservatives only care about liberty. If I do not believe it, I do not see how I could have implied it........
