Our politicians are taking command and control of our lives to greater heights daily. Higher taxes, massive bailouts, corporate takeovers, the housing crisis, skyrocketing deficits, socialized medicine, the expansion of welfare, growing unemployment, and booming inflation are just some of the many problems that Democrats are causing to make our problems more miserable. But what is the basic difference between how liberals and conservatives view the world? The answer may unlock the key to the problem.
Liberals lack several critical personality traits essential for daily living: intelligence, common sense, decency, compassion, love, empathy, sympathy, a work ethic, concentration, and so on. But at the foundation of it all, liberals lack focus because they want to control everything. Our Founding Fathers knew that power within government had to be decentralized and limited in order for it to work. Today, President Barack Obama wants centralized and unlimited power for himself. Conservatives realize that the powers of the federal government should be concentated
in a few constitutional obligations: a strong military, a rule of law, the preservations of our rights, and other powers described in Article I, Section 8. Conservatives want to simplify as much as
possible so we can be focused. Liberals want to complicate as much as possible to stay in power.
Concentration of power and lack of focus caused the Soviet Empire to collapse under its own weight. It's amazing how determined we were to eradicate Communism abroad when faced with a nuclear threat, yet we are so naive to let Communism take over our lives gradually in our own back yard.
