I prefer to think of myself as more a George Washington Liberal Federalist with a 21st century perspective.


I hate 60's music.

the 60's liberal crowd were the "summer of love" sex, drugs, and rock and roll. anti-war crowd (now all grown up as "progressives") that wouldn't be caught dead in a Navy uniform......

You need scare quotes around "grown up"

So what do you think about how president Washington sent the troops after the whiskey makers who didn't want to pay his higher taxes?

Are you okay with the federal government doing that?

Just asking.

So this is supposed to prove that ALL do?


That is the very basic concept of leftism as it has come to be. It is a fantasists utopianism that blames all the bad things on "others" while proclaiming to solve all the problems of the world, even though their ideology would make them all worse.

ALL? Yep. That is the whole point.

I don't have a beef with conservatism.  I just don't agree with it on all issues.


Mostly social conservatism.

Okay, which aspects, specifically?

Abortion?  Criminal punishment?  Second amendment (obviously not given your other posts)?

So how can you support punishment for crimes like murder in one instance yet defend murder in another?

Hypocrisy much?

They don't view the infant in the womb as a living human being, and therefore can't be murdered.

I know exactly what you mean.  I was there for the birth of both of my now adult children.  It is an experience that I lack the skills to properly convey on a message board.
