True Conservatives Should Take A Stand

[The_Rorschach]

Vince, by the Supreme Law of the Land, the US Constitution, all US citizens are granted the freedom to express their opinions. As Italian was acting well within his rights, who the hell are you to question his liberty to do so?

In any case, true conservatives are generally liberal, although the definition of that word has changed hands a few times over history. They want power to lie with the people, and for wealth to be attainable for all willing to work for it. They want independance and individuality to be fostered, but with a sense of responsibility. Truman described the Conservative Cause as maintaining the Status Quo. . .Sadly, as much as I admire the man, he was given to seeing Democrats as inherently right, and Republicans as being instrinsically flawed. Personally, I see Conservatism as holding with the ideals of Hamilton, Madison and Jay, and in their tradition, being willing to rise to any challenge to defend their beliefs: Be it with words or war.
