Political Labels Not Always Right

Here's another old article.

Political Labels Not Always Right

Here's an excerpt from the article:

The majority of Americans seem to feel they are somewhere in between, voting for liberals sometimes and conservatives sometimes, thus giving America a mixed government of contrary rulers working at cross purposes.

Whether America has a liberal democracy or a conservative republic depends on whether the people feel with their hearts or think with heads when they vote. If we continue voting for a balance of the two, we can look forward to more vicious public political cockfighting between the two parties, and that seems to be what American politics is presently all about.

We must, however, be very careful not to label every Democrat a liberal and every Republican a conservative. The truth is all Democrats are not liberals and all Republicans are not conservatives.

Republican President George Bush may truthfully be called a lot of things, and he may be winning the popularity contest with a majority of American voters, but he cannot truthfully and absolutely be called a conservative. My apologies to those who are still under the delusion that he is.

As you'll see when you read the article, the writer is talking about George Bush Sr. and not the younger, dumber Bush in the White House right now.
