We are living in an era where human beings have been brutalized by the myths of concervative and liberal ascention toward increased modernity. Our generation can not even explain the whys, wherefores, or end purposes of increasing techno-modernity. They believe in it and that belief is realized materially; as beliefs tend toward an 'as above so below' trend. Not without criticism, however, as the resulting neurotic psyche of the collective conscious has become more definitive than exceptional. Extremisms, characterised more my increasing social illness than a rise in human nobility wins the day more often than the calm and wisdom of decency and quiet deliberation.

Edit. I see this needed a comma or two. We are living in an era where human beings have been brutalized by the myths of conservative and liberal ascension toward increased modernity. Our generation can not even explain the whys, wherefores, or end purposes of increasing techno-modernity. Believe in it and that is enough. Belief is realized materially; as beliefs tend toward an 'as above so below' phenomena. Not without criticism, however, as the resulting neurotic psyche of the collective conscious has become more definitive than exceptional. We are defined by extremisms, characterised more by increasing social illness than a rise in human nobility.

The extreme conservative pundits make the word liberal a dirty word, just like the word democrat . I get the feeling that you have done the opposite, i.e. make the word conservative a dirty word, just like the word republican . Remember that Obama's hero, Abraham Lincoln was a republican. In other words, the extreme conservative pundits and you view liberal and conservative as purely black or white, and there is nothing in between. The same as democrats and republicans, either of them bad or good. As for me, a lifelong a true Republican, I subscribe to the principles of taking the good sides of each party and the good viewpoints of liberals and democrats. I do see that both liberals and conservatives have bad sides as well - for which I do not adhere to those bad philosophies. The word compassionate is an adjective that belongs to both conservative and liberal person. Have a good Monday.
