Funny how so many conservatives write in this thread but not in the other.......
I think like most things in life a monopoly of any kind is a breeding ground for a miss use of power......I think the liberal mind set has made it so that every American has a chance to be what it is they want....Many conservatives,wish it to be more like the past....more government control and power driven...Less help (or as they are called by some handouts)and Freedom for all would not be a fair statement....
Conservatives want
less government control, not more. Conservatives want
less landhouts, because they are aware that someone has to foot the bill. These handouts don't just magically appear out of thin air. For instance, one of my personal pet peeves is grants. This money has to come from somewhere, and by the time it gets to its recipient, much of the money has already been lost to bureacracies along the way. Besides, so much of grant money ends up in some dingaling nonworthy project anyway.

That being said if it was more liberal based I think education would be rampant....I think Religion would struggle some to find its pied piper like mystic...I think Victims of crime would suffer more and prisoners suffer less under liberals reign(sad but true)......I think people not just god fear white folk would have a better chance to succeed in life.....I think fences would not be built and maybe defense would not be so gung ho...I think medicare would be better for all but taxes would be higher....I think in different ways life would be better but I to realize that not all would be perfect.....I can not use the word Utopia :wink: ........I guess it comes done between socialism and capitalism,to much of either can lead to disaster
Mere money thrown at education does not make it "run rampant". Values need to come back into play before education improves. All this feely good, give everybody the same good grade, cheat if you have to, stuff that presently runs rampant in our schools is why education today is failing. There is no incentive to study harder than your peers if everyone gets the same good grade anyway. If there are no penalties for cheating, there is no reason not to cheat. Spelling skills have fallen by the wayside, because it is politically incorrect to judge a person by their spelling abilities. Neatness is not encouraged, and poor penmanship is no longer penalized.
These are some of the issues today that are contributing to poor education. Money thrown at education doesn't have very much to do with the final result. It all goes back to the old axiom, "a poor workman blames his tools." Believe me, a good workman can do a fine job with just basic tools while an incompetent fool can screw up with every wonderful tool available. Saddletramp and I have talked about this in the world of horses. A good cowboy on a poor horse can accomplish much more than a poor cowboy on a fine horse.
When you say,
"I think Victims of crime would suffer more and prisoners suffer less under liberals reign(sad but true)......" you have certainly hit the nail on the head. Why is it now that when a mountain lion kills a young child, the liberals all rush to the defense of the mountain lion and care nothing about a family's loss of a child? It is the same way with people crimes. All of the liberal sentiment goes to the poor criminal, victim be darned. This is completely reprehensible.
Freedom of religion is something that our forefathers insisted upon putting into the constitution. It is one of the pillars on which our Great Nation was founded, and is the primary reason that this nation has flourished and prospered for over two hundred and thirty years. God has blessed this nation because it was a God fearing, God worshipping country. The Liberals seek to do away with anything of a Christian nature. Without God to believe in, what is the point of even existing? When we turn our backs on God, He will surely turn his back on us.
