OK, it's been a while since I posted. Most of my time has been spent doing research with regard liberalism and conservatism and have discovered some very important and interesting aspects. Conservative thought goes back to the founding fathers fear of government and their desire to minimize government and celebrate the individual. Our founding fathers wanted a government that didn't get in the way of the individual to make a living and do well on their own without the government imposing roadblocks and rules that makes it difficult.

Liberals on the other hand believe in the state as the means for the people to succeed. They focus less on the individual then on the "people". Taking the liberal movement back to the source leads us to socialism, communism, fascism that abounded during the early 19th century. From Wilson, FDR, down to LBJ, to Clinton, the central theme was the government, most especially the federal government had a responsibility to take care of the people. Example of this in the extreme is the experiment in Sweden where there is cradle to grave care by the government. The trouble is that this care places huge budget strains and causes Sweden to have the highest tax rates ever. I have heard of cases where people ended up owing more than they made if they made enough money. This kills innovation. Listening to President elect Obama speak about redistribution of wealth from the rich to the poor, it is disturbing. The solution is not to redistribute wealth, but to create new wealth. This can be done through education. Not the kind of education the liberals are espousing but real education in science, engineering, trades such as welding, electrical, etc.
More later on this. The biggest danger to the liberal belief in the power of the state to take care of everything. This belief almost borders on religion. Going back to the earliest stages of Liberalism, this belief in the state caused the liberals to hate Christianity. It is my belief that Christianity empowers the individual and places in the church the powers the Liberals believe belongs to the "people" or in other words state. That could also be the move of the liberals to place more power in the federal government rather then states or communities and cities. More later.
Thanks
