Hey Conservatives..Liberalism? Do you understand it? Or do you just hate it?

Question

Liberalism is merely the fight for individual liberties. Judging by the Bill of Rights I would say that the Republicans are the ones that hate America.


1. Freedom of religion, speech, press, assembly and the right to petition the government for a redress of grievances.

2.declares the necessity for "a well regulated militia," and prohibits infringement of "the right of the people to keep and bear arms."

3.prohibits the quartering of soldiers (military personnel) in private homes without the owner's consent in peacetime.

4.guards against unreasonable searches and seizures

5.nor be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due

6.right to a speedy and public trial, by an impartial jury

7.the right of trial by jury shall be preserved

8.prohibits excessive bail or fines, as well as cruel and unusual punishment

9. negates expansion of federal powers

10 rights not specifically enumerated in the Constition belong to the states

No the thing is you don't understand "it..

"Liberals" as you call them believe in idividual liberties and the protection of them.. by definition that is..

now, if you understand that.. whats not to like?

Do you not want your civil liberties?

How do the liberals try to tear down the Bill of Rights.. ??

how asinine.. you have no idea what you're talking about..

Turn on your TV.. Hannity is waiting

Answer 1

Great question, and the Patriot Acts, violate many of these rights!!! Who supports the Patriot Acts?

Answer 2

Answer this.. If Real Republicans are really so bad. Why is it always liberals or lefties attacking the the 1st amendement with their PC bullshit and constantly attacking my 2nd amendment right as well?
Congressman McCarthy is pushing for the scary black gun ban already.
Obama, Clinton and many others in the Democratic party say no one but the government has the right to bear arms and will go as far as banning all of them..Sounds like infringement to me.
So how do real Republicans hate America again?

Answer 3

If what you say is true, why does the ACLU spend so much time having symbols of faith removed or banned from the public view?

I think the one issue you may have point on would be the Patriot Act. Then again, I've effectively only lost my right to wear socks with holes onto airplanes.

With #10, why then, do we have a Federal Department of Education?

Answer 4

OK your argument that it is Liberalism that upholds the Bill of rights is so offensive to me I will not comment on it. I will pick apart that statement on one point. How exactly does the liberal ideal of redistribution of wealth uphold {nor be deprived of life, liberty, or PROPERTY, without due}? The real truth is Conservatives (true Conservatives) are the only defenders of the Bill of Rights. New Right Republicans are not Conservatives. In effect, Liberals support about half of the Bill of Rights and New Right or Neocons support about half as well. It is the true Conservative that holds all those rights sacrosanct.

Answer 5

if liberalism is the ability to use 10 "statements" from the bill of rights to verify an "opinion" then I guess I will never understand liberalism. and really dont want to

by saying something doesnt mean its so.
No matter how much the libs try to spin it there is very few of those you listed that are not violated by libs.

Answer 6

That's it? Judging by what? You just list the Bill of Rights. Give me some details about why you apparently love this country and I hate it. You're accusing me of not wanting to fight for individual liberties. Back it up, or shut up.

Answer 7

let me rewrite that for you in the correct format

1- freedom from religion, anything else goes
2- declares that we dont want a militia and prohibits arms
3- ... umm what the hell is this one..
4- its not fair to search or sieze any of my contraband.
5- deprive the unborn or the infirm of life and liberty cuz its choice
6- right to a speedy trial , but if we dont agree we will appeal
7- ok that ones fine
8- dont fine criminals, and you cant use harsh words with them cuz thats torture.
9- no expansion of federal powers.. unless its a social program that we can tax the rich on.
10- rights not specificlally enumberated in the constitution we will make up and if the constitution argues with us we will get a judicial referendum to circumvent it.

there ya go.. thats more like it.

Answer 8

Conservative means to preserve. I would consider "preserving the bill of rights" an action of "preserving" and thus conservative.

You will notice that abortion, gay marriage and pretty much every liberal position you can think of is not in the bill of rights. This doesn't mean that they are wrong, but it also doesn't mean that "conservatives hate america."

By what means are you able to read the minds of all of the conservatives in america to be able to tell that they hold such feelings? Telepathy is quite a claim.

Answer 9

they might on a actual point. a million of the justifications why females do like the corporate of taller adult men is using a secure environment, might I in basic terms incorporate the stereotype that taller adult men are superior. it is not genuine. besides, i'm a sufferer of being bullied for my top returned in secondary college(for you American fokes, it fairly is the equivalent of highschool), being purely 5'7'' between a jungle of rugby gamers, this biome became not my turf. I undergo in strategies an nameless guy who became 6'7'' picking on me as i became a foot shorter or perhaps women folk took this as very humorous which i became much extra annoyed with. even however, between my unfavorable attributes in physicality, I surely have one stunning one he did not, intelligence. i became extra desirable than happy from leaving my college for college with 2 A stars and 1A. yet maximum of all, I had the excitement of gazing him fail. we've a mutual buddy and curiously he's working in petrol station whilst i'm taking section in the wonders of micro-biology, going out for events a week and assembly extra women folk than he did. See dude, it fairly is not all approximately top.

Answer 10

To answer the question you asked:

I do not hate liberalism...I do not fully understand. It is frustrating to ask questions regarding liberalism and only get non-answers that do not aid me in understanding.

I am a right leaning independant, however, not a staunch conservative.

Answer 11

Of course we understand liberalism. We were all children once. But your definition is really skewed. Both parties lay claim to the Constitution, and it is the interpretation which defers.

Liberalism is naive, and provides little in the way of sound economic or social judgment in implementing its policies.

And the 10th Amendment sends abortion and gay marriage to the States.
