Thoughts by Bernie Sanders - (socialist running for President as a progressivet....)
What to know the definition of ‘liberal’?
“A man goes home and masturbates his typical fantasy,” wrote Sanders. “A woman on her knees. A woman tied up. A woman abused.”
Sanders didn’t specify as to how he had gained such a deep understanding of the male psyche.
In terms of his understanding of female sexual fantasies, Sanders provided similar insight.
“A woman enjoys intercourse with her man–as she fantasizes about being raped by 3 men simultaneously.”
FReepers beware that there are probably lots of conservatives who have never been taught about the federal government’s constitutionally limited powers, more specifically the Constitution’s Section 8 of Article I.
The 17th Amendment needs to be repealed.
There are primary distinctions between the Right and the Left:
The Right: Recognize government is under God. That some truths are self-evident; e.g. Marriage = man & woman. That government does not create rights. That government is not a moral authority. That man is fallen and the most assured limit on corruption in government is to limit the purview and powers of government officials.
'Conservatism' is NOT about imposing through government a status quo. Rather, conservatism is about opposing government imposed morality 'progress' RE: a government religion e.g. Fascism...
- The Theme is Freedom:
- Religion, Politics, and the American Tradition
by M. Stanton Evansis an excellent book. It makes the point that conservatism preserves the theme of the society in which it exists. Russian conservatism is different from American conservatism, for example, because Russian traditions are different from American traditions. Anyone trying to impose the traditions of one society on another society is not conservative.
It is also the case that American conservatives are actually progressive. If you want to conserve respect for the Constitution, you will have no trouble at all with the idea that it is legitimate for the government "to promote the progress of science and useful arts." It's right there in Section 8 of Article I. You could look it up.
