Politics of International Diffusion: Our Common Future
"It's one-world now" -- so said Leslie Gelb on the Charlie Rose Show (4 May 1993). President emeritus of the Council on Foreign Relations, Dr. Gelb concedes that transnational paradigm shift is well underway. Indeed, the language of globalism is so deeply ingrained in American culture that definitions, and agendas supporting them, attract little attention beyond a knowing nod of placid approval. Whereas "national sovereignty," "free enterprise capitalism," and "traditionalism" are eschewed as "snarl" words, folks affirm as "purr" words "globalization," "harmonization," and "sustainability."
"International Diffusion" Purrs Pretty
... Professors, practitioners, and students from around the world recently gathered in San Francisco for the Fifty-fourth Annual Convention of the International Studies Association. Added to more than five thousand convention attendees were representatives from universities, non-profit organizations, publishing companies, and businesses from near and far. The ISA is a United Nations-recognized, nongovernmental organization that links directly to major UN conferences through which life altering global policies are determined.
Egalitarian Political-Economic Liberalism
... the ISA convention vigorously proselytized spread of political-economic liberalism across national borders with bogus promise of sustainable production and consumption, social justice, population control, and dispersion of power to a broader G-20.
One-world Reality, Not the American Dream
Be sure the one-world reality is no friend to our constitutional republic. Internationalists dis sovereignty of nation-states and require cosmic citizens to pledge their allegiance to a world community restructured around natural eco-systems (with surprisingly mystical nuances). Federalized global government redistributes the world's resources, thereby concentrating wealth and power into the hands of few.

The right is prepared for any "political-economic liberalism" that these devotees of international studies may dish out on behalf of the dreaded United Nations (the coming One World Government).
I suppose if you are on the 'patriotic' right you gotta be suspicious of "political-economic liberalism across national borders with bogus promise of sustainable production and consumption, social justice, population control, and dispersion of power to a broader G-20". "National sovereignty," "free enterprise capitalism," and "traditionalism" are much more comfortable terms for those folks who believe in "political-economic conservatism within national borders".

I would carefully distinguish our use of the word "liberal" and the economic Neoliberalism, as well. Note the definition.
It is like difference between Conservatism and Neo-cons in that the names and the games get changed.
So, with the predominate, transaction-oriented Neoliberal inspected, who does it really sound like and who would support it? I noticed that they omitted "neo". It is humorous how convoluted it all can get.
Neoliberalism
Neoliberalism is a political philosophy whose advocates support economic liberalization, free trade and open markets, privatization, deregulation, and decreasing the size of the public sector while increasing the role of the private sector in modern society.

Liberalism (from the Latin liberalis) is a political philosophy or worldview founded on ideas of liberty and equality. Liberals espouse a wide array of views depending on their understanding of these principles, but generally they support ideas such as free and fair elections, civil rights, freedom of the press, freedom of religion, free trade and private property.

That way, it becomes obvious how "liberally" and deceptively certain groups manipulate words, conflate ideas, and filter and distort the truth.
