For the political scientist this kind of stuff is manna cast before the masses. While I do not agree with every tenet espoused here this exposition illuminates the ignorance so prevalent as to what passes for "liberal" and "conservative" these days. I have grown weary of people shouting "libtards" and "snowflakes" as if they had any real meaning other than in the pejorative sense and I am just ticked off enough to begin calling people out on this. Common consensus is no replacement for actual knowledge. One cannot understand the liberal democratic (note the lack of capital letters) experiment in the United States without understand at least to a small degree the underlying political philosophies underlying the creation of this nation. Many rail about how we need to get back to our Christian values on which the country was founded but this country was not and has never been a "Christian Country." The values sometimes are identical but our underlying philosophies are firmly based in property rights and the protection of said rights. I do not mean to diminish the value of Christianity because it serves a totally separate and distinct purpose but that purpose does not include governing the people of the United States.
If you have the stomach for actually expanding your mind and thinking deeply this article can be a gateway into one of the great learning experiences available to the evolution of modern mankind and by understanding it you may come to understand how our lack of knowledge undermines the very foundations of this republic.
If only a small number of people would read this and become curious, or even a single person, about the rationale for our founding then this diatribe may have been worth it.
