Reply #18: Existentialist Democrat [View All]

I believe as times change policies change but some laws are timeless. What is correct policy today may be completely wrong 100 years from now depending upon what our challenges are. I strongly believe in Moral Relativism but also believe the Bill of Rights are a masterpiece. I believe in the balance created by the left and the right but think we have moved too far to the Right. I believe we need both conservatives and liberals but it's time for the liberals to speak up and be proud once again. I believe in as Thoreau Said:

Strike The Root

There are a thousand hacking at the branches of evil to one who is striking at the root.
Thoreau

With this I believe that liberals are more effective at solving real problems in a way that will last. Republicans would rather hack at the branches of evil by building more prisons and attacking country's with force rather than diplomacy. I believe in people even the bad ones. They were all once Innocent little babies waiting to be molded into something good or something ignorant and hate filled. I think thats the main difference between Democrats and Republicans. Democrats are more Christ like. We love our enemy's, don't judge, and we forgive. Republicans follow none of these teachings.
