One of many differences between the typical liberal and the typical conservative is their understanding of what is "truth." To the liberal mind (as far as any sane person can perceive the liberal mind), truth is relative and changing. There is no absolute truth because, to the liberal, truth is pretty much what an individual thinks it is. It is almost as if liberals live in a parallel universe where perception and opinion are reality. This mindset explains the liberal view of our Constitution as a "living, breathing document," and where that precious document can be interpreted to mean anything a liberal judge or liberal Supreme Court Justice says it means according to the current fashion of the day. Right now, we have four out of nine Supreme Court Justices who subscribe to this heresy along with four who do not and one swing vote, Justice Kennedy, who can go either way as the spirit moves him.
In other words, we are just one vote from a majority liberal Supreme Court that most certainly would repeal several laws that they do not like, such as the Constitutionally-protected right of individuals to own and use firearms. If only one conservative Justice is replaced by Obama, the judicial mischief that would result would take generations to fix, if ever.
The current debate over the national debt is serious and has long-range ramifications but pales in comparison to the problems our republic faces should the Supreme Court become majority liberal. This is, in my view, the #1 reason Obama must never be re-elected.
Absolute blather. A liberal is not a democrat, nor is a republican always conservative. (If they were, they would demand to throw out the postal service in favor of private couriers.) The sooner these labels are thrown out, the better. Then you can get on with the job, and throw the partisan straw men into the rubbish heap where they belong. Right now the only job I see my Republican Party friends have in front of them is to get rid of my Democrat Party friends. Well, we will see what happens when y'all can't pay the social security payments next week. I would look to my guns.
ReplyDeleteI wonder when the word "liberal" became a dirty word. I think I prefer the term "right wing and left wing". People from outside the US (like me) think the tarring of the word "liberal" as synonomous with "left wing" to be, well, not offensive so much as rather amusing. A simple case of rather obvious political "linking". Linking is a dangerous but remarkably effective thing to do. (The nazi party believes in gymnasiums, winter camping and healthy diets. So I guess anybody who does not want fries and unhealthy diets in the schools is a nazi!) Oh well...its not like I will be able to change the habits of an entire nation overnight.
Just one of my pet peeves.
