Okay, This question has been nagging me for a while. I want to put it down, and see what answers I get. It has bothered me for a while, and maybe
moreso when I have been in a, what I call, "hyper-liberal" environment. What I deem to be a "hyper-liberal" environment is an environment that
unquestionably prescribes to the notions perpetuated by the normally named "democratic, liberal" base of voters in the US. Point being, these are
those that without question will do whatever the "democratic" base wants done.
This really hit the head on the nail the other night when I was having a conversation in ATS chat, and I read with another ATS member, all the
misconceptions held about the Roman Catholic sect of Christianity. I feel that it is important to say that I am myself an athiest, and that I do not
prescribe to any "faith."
The last paragraph would seem irrelevant, if it was not what brought the question to me, "what if the "right" was correct, and that the "left"
was living a "1984-ish" belief system that lead them to be that the "left oceania" was at battle with the "right eurasia" when we were actually
all one?
My question in a nutshell, is what if the most radical of liberal agendas, and some of the more basic (gun contol, abortion, gay rights) were simply a
means to undermine what we should be aspiring to?
Now before I get hated on, and I have tried to post this so far diplomatically, and I am a gay male that
despises G.W. Bush, but what if the
liberal "side" that has the "answers" has only been hoodwinked into believing that the path we are going as a nation (US) is not the correct
path?
This is one of the few times that I am going to lay it all bare, and really ask for respect from ATS members, but I am being open, and am curious to
help form an opinion. I don't want to lose my rights with guns, I don't want to lose the right to be born, I don't want to lose the right to be who
I am; however, I don't want to be the one to allow things to happen that I am against, only to disallow "the other side" from having their right to
speak, too.
Any takers? I will further expand on any topic that I have covered in more detail if requested, but I am starting to wonder if the "liberal,
progressive" motivation is not pushing towards the end of America as I know it.
Mods, if you feel this should be in a more appropriate forum, cool with me. I just didnt' know exactly where to post this.
