However the USA was in fact founded on the principals of "liberalism" in revolt of conservative oppression and dogma:<BR/><BR/>Definition of Liberalism:<BR/> <BR/>1. progressive views: a belief in tolerance and gradual reform in moral, religious, or political matters<BR/><BR/>2. politics political theory stressing individualism: a political ideology with its beginnings in western Europe that rejects authoritarian government and defends freedom of speech, association, and religion, and the right to own property<BR/><BR/>3. economics free-market economics: an economic theory in favor of free competition and minimal government regulation<BR/><BR/>4. Christianity - Christian theological movement: a movement in Protestantism stressing intellectual freedom and the moral content of Christianity over the doctrines of traditional theology<BR/><BR/>I'm never not amazed by conservatives who try to pass themselves off as the real Americans at the expense of truth and actual facts...Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05499925056069309731noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19217611.post-53004577460910672562009-02-27T08:58:00.000-05:002009-02-27T08:58:00.000-05:00I think those who argue against Burke fail to take...I think those who argue against Burke fail to take into account that our Constitution was written with great Conservative ideals. <BR/><BR/>It is invested with the guarantees of Freedoms which Burke Argued in favor of. That our constitution was written to protect us from the government. The French revolution was a rebellion AGAINST THE GOVERNMENT. <BR/><BR/>The US revolution was a rebellion against the government and the founding of this nation was in the context of guaranteeing freedoms from oppression by our government.<BR/><BR/>Those are all Conservative Ideals. <BR/><BR/>Even our declaration of Independence states that Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient cause.<BR/><BR/>This is a very conservative principal.<BR/><BR/>Additionally the declaration states:. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.<BR/><BR/>Here they were siting the French Revolution as their lynchpin for what they were about to do. <BR/><BR/>Our nation was founded in conservativism and its been under attack every since.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
