Liberals invented the country. If you were honest about being truly conservative, you'd renounce your vote, get down on your knees, and swear homage to the English Queen!

Liberalism of the period had as a principal characteristic integrity, a facet of today's liberalism that is sorely missed. Were integrity to return to liberalism, I might well be a liberal myself!

With liberalism has come a torrent of dishonesty, and today dishonesty is even accepted practice. Along with dishonesty, the liberals' acceptance of moral relativism has eliminated the distinction between right and wrong.

No finer example can be found than the current news concerning Mr. Condit's involvement with the missing Ms. Levy. Since Clinton, it is now "okay" for Condit to evade questionning, and it will even be "okay" for him to lie about his relationship with Ms. Levy -- after all, it was a "private sexual affair". You'd better believe the jerk Condit is considering that Clinton got away with it so he can, too.

You simply cannot tolerate the dishonesty. You have to constantly be seeking the truth; otherwise, the lies soon become the truth. Lying and [today's] liberalism are co-dependent.

The rebellion of the 13 colonies against the King was the first liberal program. The Declaration of Independence was another one. Replacing the Articles of the Confederation with the Constitution was yet another liberal program.


The rebellion and the Declaration of Independence where liberal in the classic sense of being done for and contributing to a greater amount of freedom. However they are not particularly connected to modern political liberalism. The signers of the declaration had very different ideas then those of most modern American liberals.
