This sort of logic I think is the brunt of irrational acts done for a cause. Whether it's attacking defenseless abortion clinics, or for a war against the west for allah, it comes to the same difference. Misplaced zeal plus in a culture that has too much social preasure saying "this or that isn't right," leads to explosions of violence.
no matter what obama tells you this country was a Christian nation early on and if you read some of the laws you will find quotes right out of the Bible. I would say from 1776 till early 1900's it was ran by conservatives then the liberals gained control and the roaring 20's came along and it has all went down hill since liberals ( dem and Rep ) have gained control.
the conservative went silent.
If we want to defend ourselves against the threat, fine do that. But adding to the problem with malice to the other side, and making an enemy of them is only drawing our nation to horrific events.
I have no malice if you check there was very little abortion before the 60's and 70's. very little dui's very few boobs on tv. the list goes on. Our law of freedom of speech were written int he conservative frame of mind and changed to perversion by liberal thinking.
Bottom line of pros:
-Liberals push the envelope with the intent of bettering the world, and to create a moral structure. From ending slavery, woman's vote, homosexual rights, and abortion. Each is pushed with the intent of bettering the world. That intent regardless what it's actually focused on or whether it's been conned is a Nobel intent. It should not be shamed.
how does wearing less clothes on tv so the kids can imitate what they see bettering the world or showing morals.
homosexuals starting 6000 years ago have always been not normal it has said that for at least 50 years back from today in dictionary and encyclopedia inevery school I every attended. liberals are promoting them as normal not the conservatives.
-Conservatives hold to the roots they came from and hold a critical standard to the world. From moral standards, foundations of our nation, to even to not fix what isn't broken (even if it mostly is broken), consertives are not a group swayed by big promises of change, and following the golden goose. That resolve and merrit are also of a Nobel quality and should not be sneered at.
I think you have liberal republicans confused with conservatives.

Cons for both could be a decent list and if you talk to a people that are of one group they will be able to give their criticism of the other group very readily and with examples. But one con that is shared by both groups is how easily they can be lied to and stand by those lies. Politicians lie and the only ones who seem to see the faults in their promises or in their actions are critics from the other party lines. High hopes of legislature are passed based on one understanding and used in a different way, and when the same legislature is proposed again it's passed again with just as often the same results.
For instance Colorado became a mariguna state under the promise that the taxes for the sales would go to schools. From a teacher I know, they've seen nothing to her school, yet there were a good amount of sales and profit. Later (I think to try and sweep the matter under the rug) a law was proposed to return the "excess profits" to the tax payer, followed again by proposed law to use the tax money on other needed city and state investments.

Another example is intelligence gathered under the Bush years that was critical for invading Iraq, only later to find out it wasn't really there.
Both parties are susceptible to lies and corrosion. Liberal is no more nor no less Nobel then consertive is. To say otherwise is to bring strife. A nation against itself can not stand.
