This is a Liberal Country

No offense but ahh, ..it is NOT the conservatives who use judges to sidestep the legislative process in order to adjudicate, & INVENT laws from the bench which is fundamently ILLEGAL. The courts sole role is to ENFORCE existing law,.. not hijack it or twist the words to have it read something that does not exist in the constitution. (something that ideological liberal judges have done for decades)

Conservative judges have done this too. The expansive views of executive power held by Alito, Scalia, and Thomas are prime examples of judicial activism. And let's not forget the atrocity Bush v. Gore, which had no constitutional justification whatsoever.

That certainly doesn't excuse liberal activism on the court though. It needs to be stopped on both sides, and we need to follow the constitution.

Dear Billo_Really, .....in many facets I DO believe that JFK TODAY would swing at the very least to the middle, & in many things closer to the right.

What you, & others describe as JFK being a neo-con, ,..I do not believe there is such a creature that fits that definition.

It is funny, ..if not odd that conservatives were simply conservative about their views on having a fundamental belief in God, love of country, & its traditions, laws & maintaining a strong military etc etc; ...TODAY they are viewed as neo-cons by the most liberal groups.

Conservatism has NOT changed, ..but liberalism HAS changed, & permitted even MORE outrageous social behavior, hackneyed racial views, & immorality has been mainstreamed by hiding under so called "civil rights" statutes...just to name a few!;)

This MODERN form of "liberalism" IS rotting, & dying on the vine; & the election results & failed DNC congressional races, & presidential races ought to be a wake up call to the modern democratic party leadership to distance itself from the most liberal.

The once monopolizing media does NOT have the power as it did once,& other news sources have EXPOSED modern liberalism for all americans to see; ..as well as the cause' & effect of past failed liberal policies that were put into practice.

In 1960 the word liberalism was not even used in referring to politics.........I truly believe that JFK would not recognize the democratic party today......JFK was a Conservative or at the very least a moderate on the issues in that he was deeply pro life and a fiscal conservative..........He was no liberal as defined today...........
