Liberal today equates to Plunder

Liberal vs Conservative Philosophy

When you see the word Liberal used in politics, you should, in all propriety, read 'one who plunders.' To better explain, here is a definition of the word liberal from Webster's 1828 Dictionary:

1. Of a free heart; free to give or bestow; not close or contracted; munificent; bountiful; generous; giving largely; as a liberal donor; the liberal founders of a college or hospital. It expresses less than profuse or extravagant.
2. Generous; ample; large; as a liberal donation; a liberal allowance.

Notice that the theme is that you give much of yourself, but, in order to give, you must possess, and, in order to possess, you must exchange the fruit of your labor. Yet, the Liberal political philosophy has nothing to do with giving of the fruit of their labor; rather, it deals with plundering (taking from) as much possible of the fruit of the labor of others in order that they may act generous.

Just because a thing, in this case, plunder, is called outside of its name, it does not transform that thing into something else, in this case, liberal.

An example that I like is,

How many legs does a horse have?
If I call the horse's tail a leg, then how many legs does the horse now have?
The answer is four, not five; changing the name of a thing does not alter one physical characteristic about that thing.
