Re: AT LEAST A QUARTER OF CONSERVATIVES ARE PARANOIACS

That is your assumption and it is fallacious. I don't understand how 
anyone can support the vicious dictatorship, which tortured, raped, 
mutilated and killed children. Why do you do such things? Yes the 
Hussien regime was stable socially, so was Adloph Hitlers. And I never 
said that social stability is an end which surpasses all others.

The founding fathers of our country certainly proceeded from a stabilty 
to unstability, but only after nearly a decade of growing discontent 
with Great Britain. They looked at what they had and what they were 
doing before the leapt.

THe other side of the coin was the French and Russian Revolutions. The 
French went through years of horror before Napoleon brought them his 
very own flavor. Similarly, the peasants of Russia did the exact same 
thing and instead of years were under totalitarian rule for five decades.

The difference between these was the inclusion in the American 
Revolution of both sides of the political spectrum Both radical leftists 
and conservatives were responsible for the struggle. In fact the vast 
majority of the delegates to the Continental Congress were conservatives 
to say the least.

That's why your assumption is fallacious. It assumes, typically, 
assumption of validity which simply do not exist. You're still a very 
young girl. Hopefully you'll grow out of these over emotional responses 
and you'll learn to use your brain instead.

If you want to be free, there is but one way; it is to guarantee an 
equally full measure of liberty to all your neighbors. There is no other.
