Except that, you fail to acknowledge your side's idea of "progress" is to shred the Constitution, surrender freedom's, and control others all for government handouts.
My idea for progress is to keep the constitution, regulate runs (not control), keep freedom in mind with security, and help this economy get off of handouts.
Like flight security for example. You don't have to fly. It's not your right to do so. You can drive, ride a boat, or buy your own fucking airplane.
The only "rights" I want to overturn is those of corporations to stop corporate personhood in politics and excersizing first amendment rights in the court of law. (faux news)
This would stop:
1. Lying
2. Using $$$ to lobby for laws in their favor
3. Political corruption
4. Having political puppets
They are a business, not a person.
Well, I have to say, I agree with almost everything you said. If that's really how you feel, then why are you a liberal?
The part I do disagree with though is getting corporations out of Washington D.C. If the government would get the fuck out of the free market, I would agree with you 100%. But since the rise of liberalism in the early 1900's, when government started to own corporations like slaves (take their money, tell them what to do, how to do it, etc.), I feel corporations have EVERY right to fight back.
Get Washington out of business, I'll support getting business out of Washington. Yes, it really is that simple.
Why am I an independent who is often on the same side as a liberal?
1. I'm not a conservative
2. I have no religion
3. I support the separation of the church and state
4. The economy and constitutional rights are my goals
Corporate personhood was one of the biggest contributors to Mitt Romney's campaign, which was one of the most cynical and out of touch campaigns in the history of this nation.
Barry was not on good terms either, since he has a bad record for civil liberties and rights.
So you can see why I favor 1 thing and dislike another.
