Too libertarian. In my readings and ramblings, I have come to the conclusion that many of the Founding Fathers foresaw the United States as an Authoritarian Christian Republic. That is to say, only rights to which we are entitled are protected, while denying un-enumerated license in perfect harmony. That takes care of quite a bit of nonsense we have to deal with today on a range of issues, from abortion to gay militancy to gun/people control. For example, the SCOTUS struck down bans on sodomy, with some members citing equal protection. If it was clearly assumed that there is no right to sodomy, there would be no question of equal protection. I would happily vote to outlaw burning of the American flag.

Too strict? Look at it this way. Our nation operated as I outlined for most of its history and Americans as a people kept their heads on straight. Only very recently with the advent of liberal-tarian freedom of immorality and license has America turned into an Authoritarian ANTI-Christian regime.

There is no void between good and evil. Throw out God, and evil takes His place.

[Kip Russell]

Too libertarian

This country isn't Libertarian enough.

I have come to the conclusion that many of the Founding Fathers foresaw the United States as an Authoritarian Christian Republic.

“Political tags — such as royalist, communist, democrat, populist, fascist, liberal, conservative, and so forth — are never basic criteria. The human race divides politically into those who want people to be controlled and those who have no such desire. The former are idealists acting from highest motives for the greatest good of the greatest number. The latter are surly curmudgeons, suspicious and lacking in altruism. But they are more comfortable neighbors than the other sort.”
