What Conservatives want to conserve is freedom

Leave a comment

What Conservatives want to conserve is freedom.  Conservatives want to conserve the liberties spelled out in the Constitution.  Nothing more, nothing less.  Anyone who disagrees with that tenet is no conservative. Compromising freedom away through “bipartisanship” is nothing more than selling freedom down the river slowly versus all at once.  The history of the world is tyranny and oppression.  The United States was founded on the principle of limited government to prevent tyranny and oppression.

Each perversion of the Constitution takes the United States closer to tyranny and oppression.  A situation where one group believes it is right to take from another at the point of a gun.  A situation where elites rule every part of our lives from Washington.

One of the true freedom-loving conservatives was Senator Goldwater:

You don’t need to be straight to fight and die for your country. You just need to shoot straight. – Goldwater

Equality, rightly understood as our founding fathers understood it, leads to liberty and to the emancipation of creative differences; wrongly understood, as it has been so tragically in our time, it leads first to conformity and then to despotism. – Goldwater

Extremism in the defense of liberty is no vice. And moderation in the pursuit of justice is no virtue.  – Goldwater

Biden – Every single great idea that has marked the 21st century, the 20th century and the 19th century has required government vision and government incentive.

“Every single great idea that has marked the 21st century, the 20th century and the 19th century has required government vision and government incentive.” Vice President Biden, October 26, 2010

The delusional Vice President stated that every great idea in more than 200 ideas has required “government vision”.  In other words without “government vision” there would be no cars, light bulbs,

Let’s look at some facts:

1. Theory of Relativity
2. Airplanes
3. Semiconductor
4. Standardized parts
5. Mass production
6. Just in the last 20 years: iPods, Google, eBay, Amazon.com, cell phones.  Every Internet website.
7. Light bulb,
8. Phonograph
9. Penicillin
10. Automobile
11. Telegraph/Telephone
12. Pharmaceuticals
13. FedEx
14. Passenger air travel
15. Movie/TV Industry
16. Steel
17. Agriculture
18. Mining
19. Shipping
20. Banking

Some of the “great ideas” of government include:

1. Socialism
2. Facsism
3. Communism
4. NAZI Socialism
5. Mao and Chinese Communism
6. USSR

Those five alone caused hundreds of millions of deaths.

7. Trillions of dollars in debt in the United States alone.
8. Inflation in the 1970s U.S., Germany in the 1930s etc.
9. Segregation couldn’t have occurred without the force of government

Some that did have government intervention, but in all likelihood crowded out some private initiative:
1. Nuclear weapons
2. Nuclear power
3. Space flight – USSR and the U.S.’s NASA
4. Interstate highway system
5. ARPAnet, which when the government got out of the way because the commercial internet. And which was developed with private ideas.

Other’s that also believed in the unlimited power and unlimited benefits of all controlling government were Pol Pot, Mao, Stalin, Hitler, Mussolini, King George III, Robespierre, Castro, Chavez. The ones that believed in liberty and freedom were Washington, Jefferson, Adams, Lincoln.

I know which side I want to be on. The side of freedom, not the side of tyrants.

Sam Adams:
“Among the natural rights of the colonists are these: first a right to life, secondly to liberty, and thirdly to property; together with the right to defend them in the best manner they can.”

“The Constitution shall never be construed… to prevent the people of the United States who are peaceable citizens from keeping their own arms.”

Since that day, the national debt has increased by $5 trillion, according to the U.S. Treasury Department.  For the full story, see this article.

An interesting story came to light last week.  A website was ordered to pay $11 million for libel and slander in a default judgement.  Based on court filings, in December 2009, TheDirtY.com (or its users, reports are unclear) posted that Sarah Jones and Bengal’s kicker Shayne Graham were having an affair and that Jones might have contracted “two venereal diseases.”  The original complaint is here (pdf). Links to the original documents are here.

Jones was informed of the post by Graham and filed suit in December 2009 and a Continue reading Thedirt.com $11 Million Judgement for Libel and Slander Against Cincinnati Bengals Cheerleader Sarah Jones →

A standing military force with an overgrown Executive will not long be safe companions to liberty. The means of defense against foreign danger have been always the instruments of tyranny at home.
