Oh, I been flying... mama, there ain't no denyin' I've been flying, ain't no denyin', no denyin'

Thursday

The last 7 years have sucked for democracy in the United States. I'm not saying that Democrats would have done a much better job, I'm saying that the current administration has perfected a culture war full of misinformation that had us (perhaps, still has us) divided so completely.

We're no longer debating issues, we're stuck debating the wrong issues. I'm very conservative, but I completely and have always despised President Bush. I used to love Bill Clinton when I was Liberal, but now I'm liberal and conservative...and I hate President Bush, and Republicans, and Fox News, and Ann Coulter, and Bill O'reilly-- I'm conservative, and I hate Sean Hannity, and Karl Rove, and Ronald Reagan. I'm liberal and I hate Hillary, Joe Biden, Jack Murtha, and John Kerry...

-- I'm a true, blue classic liberal/conservative.


I don't love America, I love the United States of America. America is a vision, a dream that never materialized. Ok-- I won't be so harsh, it partly materialized, and we've done so much but we've also got so much wrong.

The problem is we're confused over the definition of conservative and liberal versus Conservative and Liberal. We apply them in certain context, Democrats are Liberal, and Republicans are Conservative.

The difference between conservative, Conservative, and Liberal and liberal is lost. Democracy can no longer grasp this idea, and any attempts to rectify political party and today's ideologies from our forefather's ideas are in vain.

A conservative is one who totally upholds the ideals and notions of our Constitution. A conservative is very liberal...a conservative is liberal in the sense that they love and are willing to fight for liberty. Liberty per the Constitution is the right to do whatever you wish as long as you refrain from infringing upon the rights of others.

A Conservative is one who listens to Fox News to be told how to vote and act. These people often consume pure propaganda, they are so deep in the much of propaganda and the seduction of an idea that says "this complex issue is very simple after." Conservatives are the people that believe the War in Iraq was really about "weapons of mass destruction." Instead of rectifying the simple idea that Saddam has never attacked the United States, they're blind...they're debating the wrong topic: WMDs.

Liberals are just as bad. Liberals hate liberals, conservatives, and Conservatives, alike. Liberals are those who wish for a large government. One who tells us just like Fox News-- what we should think and do. Liberals know that the War in Iraq wasn't about WMDs. Liberals know that the war was about oil...yet, they act surprised. And, they haven't provided a convincing argument as to why waging a war for oil is wrong. The United States isn't going to survive in its "glory" without oil...so what's your plan for making it available beyond opening up (via democratic stability) the second largest oil reserve?

There's really no difference between Liberal and Conservatives.

Liberals want to impinge on your right to liberty by taxing the hell out of you, creating needless government bureaucracy. Conservatives today want to tax the hell out of your kids' future by financing a massive war by borrowing while cutting taxes to give the appearance to you that things are "alright."

The Liberals and Conservatives has one MASSIVE thing in common, they think you're stupid...and we might be (as a whole), but focusing on the right issues could really start to change some things...we need to end this mindless culture war between Liberals and Conservatives and get down to business...

Instead of embracing "freedom" we all need to rethink what exactly "freedom" is. Because, what good is "freedom" from foreign actors if domestic ones are pulling our strings and infringing upon our freedoms?

Which is precisely what a true conservative and liberal would ask...
