Drawing the political line in the sand

[Trumplestiltskin 5,791]

Republican beacuse of the conservative stance. but admitedly this party is not my ideal. Wish their was one to the far right.

Rob

From my experience, US politics (and this includes both major parties) leans further to the right than in Europe.

Further to the right of the Republicans? I dread to think!

Did you know that this country was founded by people from the far right? There wouldnt be an America if it was not for ultra conservative thinking. It is liberalism that has eroded the freedoms of every great civilization. Every civilization that has ceased to exist, did so because it collapsed from within when it disgarded it's moral begining.

Rob

I certainly don't disagree that America was founded on nationalism, which is still in evidence today; but the "liberalism eroding freedoms of every great civilization" I'm going to need to see some specific historical examples for that one. As a student of history, that's fairly dubious to me - though someone else mentioned something similar in another recent thread and didn't/couldn't elaborate on it.
