The Truth About Conservatives and Liberals.
Conservatives and Liberals are always portrayed as if they're opposites of each other. Though it may seem as if they have many differences between each other, there is only one difference between the two. That difference is time.
Remember when the Patriot Act was signed into law? Liberals (and Libertarians) were strongly against this, and were told by Conservatives "If you have nothing to hide, why fear?".
Now, through leaks from Edward Snowden, we know that the NSA has secretly been spying on us and tracking our Internet activity. And who supports this? Liberals. Who opposes this? Conservatives (and Libertarians).

Daily reminder that it's not Liberal or Conservative, it's the state vs you.

3 답변This NSA shit isn't just the work of the Obama administration. Bush was in on it too, Obama just continued and expanded on it. I won't lie though, this has crippled both my national pride and my once great respect for the president.

Not much to back up your gross over-generalizations, but I agree with the spirit of your ideas. Bipartisan thinking is largely uncritical and generally fails to acknowledge that the platforms of the major parties are simply slogans and rhetoric to try and garner the most votes/influence possible. Rational self-depreciation is an integral part of the mature self-correcting process, but the assumption is made by marketers and politicians (and it seems the vast majority of voters) that it is a weakness to be avoided at all costs.

작성자: HM Rob 7/10/2013 3:45:48 PMHonestly, it's less about 'time' than it is about who's in office. Both the liberals and conservatives will fight tooth and nail to defend their side, so it only makes sense that this kind of hypocrisy becomes apparent. Libertarianism FTFW

1 답변Firstly, I don't think there's any actual basis to support the assertion that "liberals support state surveillance of the populace." The current administration may be using these measures, but they are measures that began during the Bush administration. This isn't a question of right or left, it's merely the very obvious observation that politicians, when given power, use it. But I certainly don't believe that a majority, or even a large minority, of people who identify themselves as 'liberal' support these measures. Secondly, if conservatives say they oppose anything that's currently being done, it's only because it's being done by the current Democrat administration, and politicians will seize any opportunity to make themselves look good and their opponents look bad. Those same conservatives are by and large the very people who supported these measures being enacted in the first place.
