Thread Name: BS: Why We're Liberals
Subject: RE: BS: Why We're Liberals
Stringsinger, I did not refuse to accept anything..I merely asked a question..nor am I a Conservative, based on what conservatism has presently been defined as. For instance, president Bush, stands up, and defines himself as a conservative, yet at the same time, radically alters the constitutional limits of presidential powers, to suit the needs of 'his' agenda. This, by definition, is quite 'liberal' in interpreting the constitution, is it not?? Obama, on the other hand, wishes to change the constitution, by some of what he is proposing(2nd amendment for one, but others as well). The constitution does NOT guarantee, that the government provide anything to the people, other that to limit is powers, to get OUT OF THE WAY, and that the rights the people have are given by God, as unalienable. The government doesn't GIVE us our rights, but today's interpretation of being 'liberal' seems to want to push that idea..and force those ideas on everyone. Conservatives, seem to get away with thinking whatever this administration is doing, is conservative, when in fact, it is NOT!
Like to get feedback about that.
