But I have a couple of questions,...Well said, John. <BR/>But I have a couple of questions, if I may:<BR/>"The modern social conservative is collectivist. Liberty to him or her is a right exercised by the people at large."<BR/>Doesn't the same hold true for progressives? <BR/><BR/>"And that means that the people have the right to proscribe anything that they, the majority, see as a threat to the utopian ideal of what society should be."<BR/><BR/>What is a conservative version of Utopia? <BR/><BR/>"In a nutshell they believe people must be free to use the government as the enforcer of mores."<BR/><BR/>I'm carbon-dating myself here, but didn't the liberal movements of the 80's dictate the same, i.e., in "politically correct" language,<BR/>gun control, etc., that the conservative contingent managed to diminish for the past 6 years?<BR/><BR/>Thank you, John - I'll be sure to visit your blog often!<BR/><BR/>Peace,<BR/><BR/>Ferma LeBushAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21731268.post-1156525466704713002006-08-25T13:04:00.000-04:002006-08-25T13:04:00.000-04:00This is a valuable point you bring up John.
