I would just like to point out some historical parallels between the US now and the US right after the Revolutionary war.
Now lessen before I go on there is one thing that must be said. I mean no offence to anyone. I am stating this form my point of view. My goal is not to demean or be cruel just to show what I see. And so you know I am a Liberal and an Independent. So you all know where I stand up front.
Fist Conservatives because “C” comes before “L” :P. You would be more like the southern states. Some negatives are you had slavery you didn’t feel it was time to give that up. You also didn’t feel women should have equal rights. For example if Nick and Darla were married and Darla had a job any money she would make would go straight to nick and by pass her completely. The only way a woman could get any real rights is if her husband died. Some of the positive points are very strong though. With out the economic support generated by slavery the new union would have collapsed in bankruptcy. Plus you were the ones who pushed for a stronger government, which pushed to adopt the Constitution instead of the Articles of Confederacy.
Liberals on the other hand did support more equal rights but not to all while they liked slaves and women they did still take and remove Native Americans for their land. We also supported more civil rights giving people more power. But on the flip side we didn’t give enough power to the government this was causing the newly founded union to collapse due to its lack of ability to tax. Or we could have been invaded due to the fact the government could not raise a nation army.
I guess the real point is that we need both sides its not that one is right and one is wrong we need both sides and with out them the union of this country would never work. Conservatives you need Liberals to bring more humanity to the government to protect the individual rights. And Liberals we need Conservatives because the help hold this union together and are able to unite this country in times of conflict. Just remember we need gray to run this country not Black or White.
Laters all
