Why I'm Not a Liberal

Well, for those that have read my posts on other's blogs, i.e. mormonsforpeace and connorboyack.com, this post is for you. Whether you've been a witness to my transformation or not, hopefully you'll get something out of some growth I have had.

I'm against the Iraq war. Wild, huh? Not "against" in the stupid liberal way, but against as in "let's not do that again".

Let me say this first, for those of you that thought my transformation turned me into a liberal, or that I could vote for *cough* Obama... I can't, and I'm not... and I won't.

But I figure I owe an explanation for my change, so here it is, in all its glory. We shouldn't be messing with outside nations. There it is. No treaties, no alliances. Nothing. Trade, yes, but everything else no. Foreign aid - yes... unless it's done with a commitment, i.e $5B per year to some random muslim nation that hates us. Be charitable, not submissive. Take care of our own before we take care of theirs.

Let them fend for themselves.

That's the way George Washington wanted it, that's the way America ought to do it, and it'd work out pretty well if they did.

Just a quick answer on why I'm not a liberal: liberals claim to stand for freedom, but they trounce over the freedom of everyone they feel inclined to demonize. They ignore the rule of law, and seek to make the government a charity. But a charity only in the sense that it gives stuff to people that did not earn it - and in the process buying the votes of those they give to. There is a lot more evil there, but its root is that angel who fell from heaven; and his one desire was the enslavement and misery of all mankind. Liberalism, unfortunately, is the offshoot of that; it is the ideal of control of others by those two-legged pigs that are supposedly smart enough to make our decisions for us.

I'm not buying it. Go ahead, name one thing they've done that has really been good, and hasn't been fraught with corruption... I haven't been able to come up with one that isn't motivated primarily to enhance their own power.

You know, this will have to be expanded. I'll rewrite when I feel so inclined.

Not sure, but I may have gotten my wish....

So far, I have to admit that I'm impressed with Sarah Palin. She is blunt and doesn't play nice with socialist policies. I hope she stays that way, and I hope she can influence the liberal at the top of the Republican ticket.

I'd have no qualms about this race if the positions of the two were switched... ;)

I'm going to have to post my Economic Review here later. I'm tired right now, but I think it needs to be said, even if I'm the only visitor to my lonely little blog.
