ok, i think im about as beaten and bruised as i can take for one day. Thanks to all of u that actually gave me advice and acknowledging that I really do care about being well informed on both sides. To those who enjoyed ridiculing me the entire time I hope you had fun too. over 200 posts? who would of thought. I’m going to read more in depth with the constitution and the other major documents. If I made anyone angry please realize that I am surrounded by liberal people all the time and I have never had a fair look into the conservative side. Knowing both sides of the argument and why they argue the way they do is something that everybody needs to know. Now I do and thanks. Maybe I’ll put up another post and let you guys really tear me apart haha.

Next time, don’t put up a stupid vanity thread. Reply to somebody else’s thread so you can demonstrate the ability to read.

The single best book that you can read to help you understand the two predominant political views (liberal and conservative) is Thomas Sowell’s ‘A Conflict of Visions.’

Sowell is a conservative historian/economist but the book is not a partisan diatribe, but a serious, scholarly look at how we got to these two opposing views, how they formed and evolved through history, what exactly they are, and why different people end up being attracted to one view over the other.

I’m going to read more in depth with the constitution and the other major documents.

Try "The Federalist Papers" and "The Antifederalist Papers."
