The Mind of the Conservative

conservatives want to "defend the constitution" until a decision regarding it - made by people created by the constitution - doesnt go their way. even though 99% of the conservatives are not constitutional lawyers and havent even read the thing, they are all constitutional experts and the constitution is supposed to "go a certain way." and the way its supposed to go is any way - apparently - but the way its going. they also want to "return" to "limited government" even though we have never had limited government: the constitution - which the conservatives want to return to - created an unlimited government. there is no such thing as a limited government. the constitution makes it real clear that it's power is monopolistic and vast and unlimited. any "limits" it has announced here and there have all been summarily ignored or gone around. because you cant limit something that has a legal a monopoly on something called "coercion." if you try to limit it it will coerce you into stopping. one way or another. however conservatives - like voodoo children - are convinced the constitution is a benign magical piece of heavenly brilliance which exists in a pure unsulllied state which has been besmirched by Liberals. no: its being OPERATED by liberals. Liberals love the existing constitution. conservatives love some non-existent constitution. this is why conservatives are not running things. they cant read.
