Podcast: Beer and Conversation with Pigweed and Crowhill
Episode: 152: Crowhill is a liberal?
Description: P&C review a new brewer's first beer, and Pigweed is shocked to discover that Crowhill is a liberal. That leads to a discussion on the differences between classical and modern liberalism. Classical liberalism insisted that government is only justified with the consent of the governed. It was all about liberty, free speech, small government, self-reliance and individual rights, which didn't come from government, but from the creator. The government only has power because we let it have power. Modern liberalism has departed from these ideals in important ways, which the boys summarize.
