There is one fact that has become abundantly clear to me as I started to research this topic. Liberals, throughout the world, believe that creating a global or world government will help to establish a global society – a society that will bring about peace and equality to all. Conservatives, on the other hand, believe that a global/world government will destroy all societies and, eventually, bring about the demise of our entire planet.
These viewpoints are so diametrically opposed that I decided to delve into the thought processes of both sides. This article will in no way address all issues, that would take an entire book, but on a more simplistic, surface analysis, this is what I have found for each side. I’ll begin with the liberal viewpoint.
Liberals believe that all men deserve equality in every facet of their lives regardless of what effort the individual person puts into achieving that success. However, if a person puts a tremendous amount of work, effort and time into building a career and becomes successful economically, then liberals will deem that person as having an unfair advantage over a person who may have tried to build a business but was not willing or was unable to put in the effort to make it successful.
Liberals believe that the government should oversee all aspects of a person’s life, including religious beliefs, moral issues, health issues, employment issues, housing issues, educational issues and social issues.
Liberals are huge supporters of the United Nations and its growing control over a multitude of nations. As supporters, liberals push to adopt UN philosophies even to the very detriment of the philosophies of the United States of America and its Constitution, including the UN idea that the government should have the ultimate control and influence on the minds of children and that parents should have little to no say in the rearing of their children. Children should be taught to love government first and report any parent not voicing the ideals of the government.
Liberals believe that we should try to get along with everyone, everywhere regardless of what a person’s or nation’s viewpoint is on annihilating anyone who does not hold to there own values.
Liberals believe that a limited few should rule over the masses. Those limited few should have all the benefits and wealth life can offer them and the masses should be kept on an equal footing, i.e., be reliant upon the government for everything they have.
Liberals’ ultimate goal is to become united into a world government. It is their belief that only then can this planet find true peace.
CONSERVATIVES
Conservatives believe that all men have the right to pursue economic success through hard work and perseverance. If a man or woman is willing to work hard to achieve their goals then they should be allowed to pursue them without interference of government blocking their every move to create their success - success which is spread to others through providing employment and stability. The reality of life, however, is that not everything is equal but we all have the same opportunity to try even though some will fail or not achieve the same success as another. However, Conservatives do not believe that the successful person should be punished for being able to achieve their level of success but, instead, use that individual as a beacon to inspire others that they, too, can strive to better themselves. The pride is in doing and accomplishing rather than simply being handed a reward on a platter without making any effort to earn that reward.
Conservatives believe that individuals should oversee all aspects of their lives, including religious preferences, moral beliefs, health issues, employment issues, housing issues, educational issues and social issues. Men and women need to be responsible for their own choices and actions and reap the benefits of good choices and actions and suffer the consequences of bad choices and actions. Conservatives believe that everyone has the right to make his or her own choice and government should only become involved when that choice becomes threatened or attacked – this includes choices of high morals and religious values and in the belief in the traditional lifestyle that, regardless of its age old stance, is as valid today as it was thousands of years ago.
Conservatives are strongly opposed to the growing powers of the United Nations. The philosophies of this governmental body are polar opposites to the ideals and philosophies upon which this nation was founded. Conservatives believe that the Constitution of this nation is an inspired document and, if maliciously tampered with, will lead to the destruction of all of our freedoms. Conservatives value the family unit and understand that if the UN philosophy of government control over children were to be enforced – a holocaust to the likes that this world has never seen before, will spring forth.
Conservatives believe that we should try to get along with everyone, everywhere. However, if a person or nation threatens to annihilate another person or nation, it is our duty and moral obligation to render service to that person and/or nation and not turn a blind eye on the perpetrators.
Conservatives believe that government is essential but that it should have limited powers, powers to protect but not rule over the people. The government is to serve the people and, in accordance with the Declaration of Independence, any government who usurps its power to rule the people is a corrupt government and it becomes the people’s moral and ethical obligation to take down that government and restore it to its true purpose.
Conservatives’ ultimate goal is to restore strong values and confidence in people to make this country a strong, profitable and leading nation in support of individual freedoms. It is their belief that only “in God we trust” will we be able to find true peace as a nation and as a world.
MY 2 CENTS WORTH
From my viewpoint, we focus far too much on what makes us different in a negative context, as though those differences are reason to hate, pass judgment, belittle and destroy each other. To be sure, there are some cultural and religious value systems out there in the world that I believe are detrimental to all of us no matter what nation we live in and those threats need to be watched carefully least they wind up destroying us. But, for the most part, I believe that is it our worldly differences that make us a stronger and better people.
I am an American and I am very proud of that. I am blessed to have been born in this wonderful land despite her many faults. But just as I am proud to be an American, that doesn’t mean that I think everyone has to be an American or have American values. I believe that people of all lands need to feel the pride of their own nations. A person born in England needs to cherish their country as a person born in Russia, or Italy, or Spain, or Germany, or Sweden, or South Africa, or Australia, or Chile, etc. No country is a perfect country on all fronts but we all deserve the right to be proud of our heritage. Under a world government, this pride will be ripped away from us. Would that really be a good thing?
I do believe that all people have the right to be free but being free doesn’t mean everything in life is given to you. Being free is a tremendous responsibility and takes an endless amount of work. In those nations where freedom is denied to the average man and woman, you find poverty in horrendous degrees. That poverty didn’t happen overnight. It came about by people who wanted to control thoughts, religion, morals, and financial and ethical values of others. These leaders lulled their people into believing that they, their government, would take care of them. They would have inexpensive housing, free medical care, free higher education opportunities, guaranteed job positions and/or they wouldn’t have to work at all because they would be taken care of. This lack of responsibility would make them truly free – and people clamored for it. They got the ripe apple at the beginning but soon the apples being given to them showed signs of being rotten until, finally, there weren’t any apples at all. By then it was too late because, by then, they were enslaved to a domineering government. By then they were equal – equal in poverty of heart and mind.
Today, globally, governments have been lulling their people into captivity by dangling a false freedom before them. That is true in many countries, including the United States of America. But what is happening is that the masses of people are becoming enslaved to government. Is that where we will find real peace? I think not.
