Who is who

If you really think about it neither the Republicans nor the Democrats are who they say they are

For example, how can the Democrats keep calling themselves the liberal party when the more traditional liberal is really the group that creates more democracy, yet the current Democrats keep building a larger and larger central government. We just cannot accept the fact that a large central government is the answer to our problems. The government is here to protect the people, but not to control all aspects of our lives.

And the Republicans keep wanting to turn our government over to a small group of elitists, which truly goes against democracy so how can you call yourself a conservative and believe in individual rights when you support a economic oligarchy as the answer to our problems. No true conservative of a democracy can believe giving more power to a few is truly supporting democracy. No one group should have more free speech than another. Or more rights. Or more influence. Any argument to the contrary and you are saying you don't care about our constitution. Conservative--to conserve our values, not a select few's way of life.

Our constitution gives us the ability to elect leaders to make decisions in the best interest of the whole country and protect the rights of all of us. Why do we accept less?
