Liberals believe that you can bring Utopia on earth by social engineering using coercive methods. Conservatives believe that Utopia is a dream but that governance is a more dangerous master than fire and IT MUST BE CONSTRAINED to remain a servant. The US Constitution reflects the latter view and it is the intent of the former to make it a dead letter document.

Nice article. John Goodman would so well to describe a city that is completely run by Republicans, just for contrast.

Maryland is a great example over 6,000 fortune 500 countries have picked up and left , a millionaires tax has sent the wealthy running for shelter and 47% of Marylander’s would leave if they could afford to . When the current govenor took office there was a surplus in the state treasury , today after 8 yrs. this govenor 0’mally of ours has put us $48,000.000.00 in debt. and created 40 new taxes including a tax on rain . God save us from the libs because the dependent , uninformed minority voter believes this can go on forever . Send troops and save our once proud state .

The democrat/government/labor union/administrative state/media complex are well on their way to eliminating all effective, national opposition.

Unless things change, and fast, America will be Detroit within a generation . . . with one difference.

While the rats intend take and never give up the levers of power in our emerging police state, they cannot allow the GOP to disappear.

Just as Stalin needed Kulaks, the rats require an opposition party to blame for their failures.

Liberals enforce their ideas as a State Religion. They adore their leader’s emperor’s or those anointed by God to be lord and master over the surfs.

It all comes down to this: who has the superior claim to the fruits of my labor — me or government?

Any government that can lay claim to one cent of my property in the name of the public good can lay claim to it all under the same guise. At that point, I am no longer a free man. My freedom depends on the whim of some bureaucrat, not the grace of God.

Call liberalism any thing you want. There are dozens of definitions on what liberalism is.

My take on it is, Liberalism is nothing more than a tool of a criminal enterprise to keep people compliant while the treasury is looted. There are always two pieces to liberalism that have happened throughout history. The first is any individual or organization that can shut the enterprise down is eliminated. And the second is all the money disappears.

It’s a cage. To put it another way, liberalism is the Matrix.

With self employment, we have tried to secure a steady income in our retirement years by investing in real estate, rentals. We are very afraid of what is going to happen to our properties when someone decrees that having more than one real estate holding is "not fair", and they take everything from us. We are trying to sell off what we don't need in our retirement years, I am very afraid of what happens to the makers when the SHTF.

Seriously contemplating moving from the US.

So true! My problem is that it seems that that is the ONLY purpose the GOP now serves and it seems to be a role that is assumed WILLINGLY.

let’s not forget GOP tends to eat their own, in turn, helping the Rats.

The RATS, protect their own at all cost....

For the purpose of argument the city of Detroit is low hanging
fruit. I would like to see Goodman explain San Francisco, a city
that is very successful yet firmly controlled by liberals who
don’t appear to govern conservatively. Or, are the conservative
aspects just hidden from plain view?

Over 6000 Fortune 500 companies have left? That doesn’t make sense - are there extra zeroes somewhere?

...San Francisco, a city that is very successful...

Successful? At what, serving as homosexual central for the nation? At welcoming the homeless? At supporting politicians whose destructive policies hurt the state and nation?
