Provincial Perspective

Refractive image down the line of Phoenix past...

Refractive image of time gone by
when time was continuum
more consistent which didn't fly
seat of pants without consideration
long term results might imply.

Diffraction future don't ask why
time is cheap and non-sequential
consideration of outcome thereby
thoughtful deliberation out the window
unintended consequences apply.

Just here to make a buck hawk eye
booming leaving before the bust
having long prior said goodbye
we have no inner ethic or conscience
allegiance only to self living banzai.

IMHO: Social Conservatives and Liberals

Social Conservatives are like Liberals...


Nunya business. Keep the government out of my life.

It occurs to me that Social Conservatives place as much demand on the government as Liberals do. They both want to use government intervention and money to forward their social behavior agenda and dictate to everyone their view of how people should behave.

Americans are basically centrist and lean to the right on fiscal issues, and most don't want the government interfering with peoples daily lives, even if they personally hold conservative views on individual behavior. It goes against the grain of their sense of fairness. There is something equally offensive about both Affirmative Action quotas and restriction of women's access to medical abortion by government edict.

Social Conservatives and Liberals need to repeat to themselves over and over again, that the economic crisis and the Great Disruption, overrides everything now. Americans can't afford and won't be distracted by social agendas until their economic concerns are resolved. It explains the Tea Party movement, which is based on one central theme: confronting politicians about taxes, spending, debt and government intervention and not about a myriad of pet grievances such as minority rights or abortion.
