Quote by: Matt W  Really? So, out of curiousity...is it conservatives or liberals who support Bush and his bending of the constitution? Do tell.... |
Well I don't know to many Presidents, congressmen and a few courts that haven't bent or tried to break the constitution in the last 100 years. Wilson thought that the constitution was an antiquated document that needed to be scraped, Roosevelt illegally incarcerated tens of thousands of Japanese Americans with out due process, Clinton tried to bend the 4th amendment with illegal searches and seizers in public housing, reasoning that public housing is government property, and wire tapped American citizens after the Oklahoma city bombing. SCOTUS ruled that eminent domain also applied to city’s that wanted to take land under that clause and transfer the land to private developers in an effort to raise revenue through taxes. And others with infringements on the second amendment. And these are just the ones we know about.

Overall, I'd have to disagree with you. Liberals are happy to cede the government more responsibility, but are far more stringent in criticising & overseeing it.

I'll have to say that I would disagree with you since the liberals want to socialize the health care system this will bring the government in to your doctors office, all you have to do is look at how corrupt Medicare is to see what your health care would look like. Remember Teddy Kennedy brought us HMO's. Not to mention trying to strip the public of their second amendment rights which puts all the cards in the hands of government. To me and most of the conservatives that I know we are very displeased with the way the government has handled social security, the school system, Medicare, and illegal aliens. They have botched every social program that they have gotten their hands on. And look who is trying to get amnisty for illegals.
For me in a real democracy you should be able to chose if you want to subscribe to a government program but the liberals won't allow us to, Social security, medicare and the school system no voughters.
