The link is perfectly appropriate.

I'll certainly admit opinion creeps into much of my writing. Readers should know that too. Perhaps, when I've more time, I can add citations, but that may just make some statements better researched and cited opinion. I used the Pronoun "I" because I was less than comfortable with "We", or "Liberals" generally. The point was to get the idea out there, for consideration without claiming that it was a general Liberal interpretation.

I do believe that calling the liberalism which existed after the abandonment of the principles of "no privilege except in the service of the people" and "no perpetual privilege" Classical Liberalism is just wrong.

I believe the Corporatism that was already established by that time Conservatives choose to call Classic Liberalism was anti-liberal. I do accept that regulation may be necessary, but elimination of privilege (though perhaps more difficult) would be fairer, more reasonable, and more in keeping with Liberal philosophy.

Many of the articles I've added were intended to give people the information they need to understand Liberalism. I certainly don't expect that everyone who reads this stuff will come to the same conclusions which I have. But, they do deserve to know that there are interpretations of Liberalism which differ from the corporate sponsored Liberalism that is widely promoted.
