Am I to believe then that conservatives are all things for all people? Perhaps the only "true" Americans? Nice to see that the right is finally coming out and saying exactly what they want: conservative, one party rule. On a side note, I did notice that on immigration the author was thunderously silent on Reagan's amnesty, not that I was surprised.
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."
You subscribe to a "nanny state" skewed view of the democratic party. Some go too far but not most. Clinton, Rendel, Obama, Harold Ford Jr., Steven Rattner, all are democrats and none are promoters of such a policy. You have used a fine author to put forth a false choice.
Yeah,Clinton (Bill) said to extend the tax cuts til next year.......I think he was right and the administration was ready to have him shot!!!Originally Posted by bbsam

That's my point. Brett wants to say all dems are the same, all repubs are the same, conservatives are wonerful and liberals are socialists. As Carlin said, "Nice trick, if you can pull it off."
I can read Bubba's motives.......he's laying the ground for Hillary to run in 2016. He 'pretends' to be for Obama, but then he say's stuff like, "remember me? I was the one who balanced 4 out of the 8 budgets?" Slick Willy still applies!

Oh, he's slick alright. But don't think for one moment he wants anything but an Obama win right now. If he's going to be campaigning for Obama now, the last thing he needs going into '16 is looking like a loser.
Thats not what I said at all.
It is and you know it.
