[QUOTE="brett636, post: 982315, member: 249"] Conservatism is rooted in the individual and empowering said individual to succeed by eliminating unnecessary government constraints. When the individual succeeds, the civil society succeeds. Liberalism on the other hand focuses on controlling the individual for the supposed greater good of the people. This rarely works out and usually ends in tyranny. C.S. Lewis stated it best when quoted "Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated, but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience."
