Conservatives and Liberals

[MarijuanaClock]

Conservatives and Liberals must be united in there belief in freedom. Often I hear conservatives blaming liberals for loss of freedoms, and often I hear liberals blaming conservatives for loss of freedoms. The fact is a totalistarian state can occur on the right(Facism) or Left(communism). The only thing bickering will do is aid those who seek to limit are our freedoms. Only by being solid and firm in our resolve will we protect what makes America great. Now I'm a leftist, but I'm also a realist. I realize a communist state won't work any better then a facist state. Sure I disagree with conservatives, but when it comes down to it I will fight with them to protect true democracy. Within democracy, well thats another issue, but on this issue we most stand united. We must not allow those whould would destroy the bill of rights and freedoms of America to do so.

I agree with you whole-heartedly.

I refuse to group myself with the right or left, liberal or conservative. And it's for exactly the reason you state: If we continue to divide ourselves into these little clans, we're not going to get anywhere. True democracy should be high on the list of priorities, not fingerpointing or trying to put the blame on the other guy.

Thanks for replying. Really I don't believe in political parties at all. Those we elect should represent us, not a party. Believe me, in Canada our M.L.A's basicly have to vote party lines and it really sucks. Basicly if a mojoirity Gov't comes to power they have to pass everything the Prime Minister decides to introduce into the house of commons, all members of the majority party must vote party lines(If the gov't is deafeted in passing a bill a vote of non-confidence is held and we have to have a new election).

Anyway I believe that your congressmen should not be affiliated with any party, they are there to represent there running's belief. They should be held responsible to those who elect them, and only those who elect them.
