I haven't posted for a while. I have been watching the direction of this new administration to discover if Obama is really a progressive liberal or more center as originally thought. After just a few weeks it is apparent that Obama is trying to get his entire agenda as soon as possible. At least as long he has a super majority or close to a super majority.
1: Domestic Policy reminds one of progressive liberalism or Fascism as was known in the 1920's. Ultimately the whole argument boils down to control. Conservative thought is that the control by the federal government should be kept at the minimum. Commerce between the states, and protection from foreign threats are the job of federal government according to the constitution. Liberal thought is that the government should take care of the people and protect them from themselves. This means the government will need to be larger to fulfill this need.

I believe that from the beginning the government's job was to stay out of the way of the individual. this means that the control belongs in the individual not government. I have the right to do what I want, where I want, and with whom I want. Liberals view the role of the government is to "take care of the people" leaving the individual out of the picture. As individuals we loose our rights and freedoms.

2: Foreign Policy is where the liberals show extreme weakness. Carter destroyed our military, Clinton destroyed our military, and now Obama is in process of destroying our military. In an ever increasing dangerous world, reducing our military standing is a dangerous

I believe that we need to make sure our military is stronger than anyone else so as to allow us to negotiate with strength.
