These are universal truths that would work no matter what the country or time frame. If we allow "tweaking" of these universal principals, we end up losing them forever.
The ignorance of these constant truths is what depresses me daily. To look at a Democrat is like looking at a moron that keeps sticking bobby pins in electric sockets. Lets raise taxes so we can have more money. Lets lose a war so we can lose the next one, when attacked. Lets kill babies to save women. Lets legalize dope so we can all be morons without fear. Lets be friends with N. Korea and see if they will like us more. Lets stop drilling for oil so we can be energy independent. The list is mind boggling.
I visualize democrats as people who get others to stick bobby pins in electric sockets.
We differ, but not by much.
