Morality is a concept not a prerequisite of the Republican party, lest we forget certain events like Watergate, I'm sure that was morally sound. The free market economy is only supported by conservatives for two reasons, one: to increase the population of people buying companies crap so as to increase profits, and two: because cheaper labor equal greater profit. Individual liberty like from the Patriot Act? Or maybe a constitutional amendment banning gay marriage? Surely these increase individual liberties not curtail them. Justice is an abstract concept that only the foolish would contribute solely to the conservatives. There is no protection from criminals, they will always exist if one is taken off the streets others will replace them especially when the economy is what it is today. Homeland security is a construct of the Bush administration meant to frighten people into forgetting that the economy is in shambles. No amount of money will ever secure our boarders. Furthermore, it doesn't matter so long as we have home-grown "terrorists" too. England is socialist, are they too liberal for you? Communism and Marxism are concepts derived from the ideals of a single person(s). These ideals have since been distorted by dictators looking for power. Neither one is inherently a bad system, just as capitalism isn't, but when the bad out weighs the good, just like in capitalism, perhaps because of a tyrannical dictator, then the system gets a bad rap. And finally, how can one murder the unliving? You said it yourself, the unborn. And I would like to add one last thing. Liberals believe in peace, conservatives believe in war. Liberals believe in giving people a second chance, conservatives kill them using an injection that paralyzes the body, melts the lungs, and stops the heart from beating in mid-stream. Liberals bring us social security and tolerance of all people regardless of sex, creed, orientation, disability, etc. Conservatives discriminate against orientation and they did discriminate against the color of their skin until a democrat heavy Congress struck down laws allowing them to do so. Furthermore, name two "great" conservative presidents. That is, presidents who greatly improved the lives of our citizens in some way.
President Reagan had an idea about how the world should run. He deregulated Big Business. That is, he removed the restrictions put in place that kept companies from cheating. He removed, primarily economic oversight. He said that it was unAmerican that in this capitalist society that such oversight, such restrictions should exist. To him, these concepts flew in the face of that illusive, figmentary idea we like to call freedom. He wanted Big Business to have the freedom to do what it will and believed that in doing so, said companies would check themselves. They would check themselves because it was in their best economic interest to do so. Yet, what he didn't realize is that what was in the best interest of Corporate America could be unknown to Corporate America itself! That Big Business could be akin to a compulsive gambler who as they fall further and further into the hole panic and begin making riskier and riskier bets, thus then subjecting themselves to even more debt ...
