American Consequences 

Nov.  7, 2019

 

After all the election headlines this week of Democrat upsets and the Republican Party's suburban struggles... we remind you that both "sides " in Washington, D.C. aren't so different...

 

Both want to take your money. And each wants to spend it on what they think is necessary.

(authoritarian philosophy)

 

You are right but, you probably do not know why. That dimes worth of difference, as Larry Elder put it is; the Democrats are mostly authoritarian conservatives and the Republicans are more middle of the road conservatives. The Democrats take more after Edmund Burke,  like Pelosi  statements she did not trust the common voter to correctly  vote in the best interest of the US.

The Republicans took

more after the liberal philosophy, especially the political philosophy of  Gladstone and Loke and company for the first 150 years.

It is the Republicans that have changed after Hoover left Office and FDR was elected the Republicans have gradually become conservatives just like the Democrats.

 

Lightfoot Letters

They (Democrats) want power. They want to tell you what to do and how to live.

 

Bill O’Rielly - Dec. 6, 2019

Bill O’Rielly is right. He is describing those with a authoritarian philosophy he just doesn’t use the word ‘authoritarian.’
