The danger with conservatism
By VictorM:In an article in the Weekly Standard, a conservative magazine, I ran into this sentence:
Liberals love victims and want them to stay helpless, so they can help them, with government programs; while conservatives love those who refuse to be victims, and get up off the canvas and fight.I can understand conservatives thinking that liberal policies continue to leave people helpless as an unintended consequences. I don't agree with that assessment, but I can understand it. But to say that liberals want people to stay helpless, well, that's just sheer nonsense.
That attitude shows that conservatives can't just disagree with others; they must demonize them. As long as conservatives are in power, there will be no peace and no compromise. Their nature won't allow it. Those who disagree with them are traitors, anti-America, terrorists, appeasers, weak, macacas, etc.
This explains why there isn't much difference between George Bush and John McCain on the issues that matter.
