Well I don't think that's right either. Nothing will get done unless both parties can work together. Both parties want the same things. They just disagree about how to get to that point.

Zorro, despite what some of the members here are saying we do have a couple of open liberals (Democrats) in Free Republic. Mind your manners, don't post drivel, and I'm sure you will be fine. Who knows, perhaps you'll learn something.

Yeah, I remember being young and naive enough to believe that too, but then I took a good look at reality and realized that it didn't match my platitudes.

That sentence alone gives you away as a troll. Only a total idiot would believe that.

That's simply not true. Liberals believe in centralization of power to a relative few who "know better", abetted by mob rule of those who believe government is the answer, aka democracy. This will get you "one size fits all" solutions, which typically are not the best solutions for anyone.

The United States was founded as a representative republic, so that each individual's freedoms were only limited insofar as their exercise interfered with the rights of others. Rights were defined as the ABSENCE of interferece with your pursuits, not a guarantee of a specific outcome. Franklin Roosevelt intentionally perverted the use of the words "liberty" and "freedom" so that many people are unclear about this concept today.

What liberals envision, and what we have to too great a degree, is a massive outcome equalizing machine which is less concerned with staying out of people's way so they can live their life than with crushing everyone to an exactly identical shade of beige mediocrity (lest someone's self esteem suffer).
