    I love how far righters actually believe that they stand for limited government. They don't. They love using the government to control peoples; lives. There are fascists on both sides of the aisle.

    Cute opinions, but how did you come by them? Were you watching some late night show and they were playing the rocky theme song while some blubbering lefty talk show host was complaining about Trump again?

    The purpose of this thread was never to argue for or against liberalism or conservatism, it was simply for you to insult people who don't think like you.

    It does not matter what you think the purpose was it matters whether Lord Acton was correct about liberalism being naturally corrupt. Do you have the ability to formulate an answer and explanation or will you be forced once again as a typical liberal to try and change the subject?

    even Donald Trump just cut taxes and obamacare massively to limit the power of government. If Republicans that had more support they would’ve cut them even more massively and of course Democrats would’ve objected every step of the way because they need more welfare programs to buy more and more votes

    it seems like you have got yourself all confused by the compromises politicians must make in a democracy when they are the minority. Make no mistake if Republicans had enough support they would cut government massively or as massively as their

    support would allow. Do you understand now?

    this is a political forum so will necessarily be about liberals and conservatives and be insulting to one or the other. The issue is, do you have the intelligence to support the side you are on or do you try to change the subject to the psychological motive because you don’t have the intelligence to discuss this subject.

    Of course if it was irrelevant and untrue you would not be so afraid to say why. What does the liberal learn from his fear.

    well I have been a libertarian how my life and have never heard that one. It is interesting though that liberals have controlled all the inner cities of America for 70 years and they have turned them into living hell holes often making them more dangerous than war zones and because of massive stupidity would do that to the entire country if given the opportunity.

    liberalism is big government exactly the opposite of what our founders wanted when they wrote the constitution. Liberalism is in effect unconstitutional. Do you understand?

    i’m sure that when Lord Acton said that liberalism is naturally corrupt it was insulting to liberals. Are you opposed to geniuses telling the truth because the truth is often insulting?

    Not one bit. How do you measure the size of the government. At what "size" does the government become illegal? What is the difference between a "big government"; and an "absolute big government"? And please point us to the article of the Constitution defines and outlaws a "big government".

    Great you need a basic lesson about what’s in the constitution. Our founders gave the central government only the enumerated powers. Liberals are opposed to the very idea of our Constitution Always wanting to expand the government think Obamacare for example and so are in effect illegal in America. Please notice that a libertarian or conservative is always made to feel like a kindergarten teacher when a liberal is nearby.

    Blah blah blah..... Too much talk. No substance. The request is simple: Show the article of the Constitution that makes big government unconstitutional.

    people don't inherit political views genetically, rev wright wasnt a communist, and there's literally zero evidence or argument to be made for the claim that obama voted significantly left

    Obama voted to left of Bernie Sanders , an open communist. A liberal should listen to his fears and not try to debate. Most liberals know to violently oppose free speech because it works against them

    Dear, I just told you that the enumerated powers in effect make liberalism illegal in America. Why do you think our liberals spied for Hitler and Stalin , gave Stalin the bomb while he was slowly killing 60 million human souls,and now support the likes of Obama Sanders Warren!!
