The Next Step for Conservatives
and Liberals
"From my infancy I have been taught to love humanity and
liberty.
"Enquiry and experience have since confirmed my for the lessons then
given me, by convincing me more fully of their truth and excellence.
"Benevolence toward mankind, excites wishes for their welfare, and such wishes
endear the means of fulfilling them.
"These
can be found in liberty only, and therefore her sacred cause ought to be
espoused by every man on every occasion, to the utmost of his power."
-John
Dickinson, member of the Constitutional Convention
The brilliance of conservatism is its love of freedom, and
the brilliance of liberalism is its care for the downtrodden.
Both sides have
their flaws too, but we all need to learn more from their positive qualities.
In fact, the future of success is tied to conservatives adding love of humanity
to their love of freedom and liberals adding love of freedom to their love of
humanity.
This may seem simplistic, but such a simple change on both sides
would drastically improve our entire nation.
