Odd fighting

These are the original definitions of the terms conservative, liberal, democrat, and republican. From what they say, the various people who align themselves with those terms either do not know what they mean, or have re-defined them to themselves. I've seen a lot of conservatives calling liberals Nazi’s lately. What I find interesting is that it seems as though those conservatives have either forgotten or willfully ignore that the Nazi, or National Socialist, party was believed to be a Right Wing party that believed that the Aryan's were the master race. In essence they were a group of bigots who hated Jews.

I've seen people say that liberals hate Jews and are racist. I have also seen the same about conservatives. Those who follow liberalism in its original sense could not be considered bigots because they fight for equal rights for everyone. When Hitler rose to power, he did so by using the Nazi party as though it were a pawn in a chess game. He claimed that the Nazi's under his rule were neither right nor left, but syncretic. He blamed the left wing for their "craven-hearted and obsequious foreign policy." He said of the right wing, " It was through their miserable cowardice that those ruffians of Jews who came into power in 1918 were able to rob the nation of its arms."

It honestly isn't fair to compare either side of today's American liberals or conservatives of being anything close to Nazi's because both sides are slowly, very, very slowly, beginning to see that the government is intentionally giving the two groups reason to fight so that our rights can be restricted or taken away, big businesses can find ways out of paying their workers a fair wage, and ruining what was once one of the greatest countries in the world.

The people directly responsible for the state our fair country is in are those in power. If the electoral collage were not to exist, then the people would actually be in control of who is elected president. However, we no longer have that control sadly. A few states have varying control, but it's majority rules instead of your vote actually counting for who you voted for.

The reality of our countries situation is that because we are fighting among our selves over who has the best ideals, conservatives or liberals, our once beautiful country is heading towards civil war. Conservatives on one side, liberals on the other and those in between forced to choose sides or perish. But, I believe that we can stop our infighting. I believe that we can come together and challenge the corrupt politicians with their bank and big business backers.

Why fight a war against your fellow Americans when another country is already threatening us and our allies. Why fight a war on two fronts? I will readily admit that I am against war and violence in general (in my opinion they should be left to entertainment media). However if myself, my friends or my loved ones are threatened, regardless of their political views, I will be one of the first to step up and defend them with all that I have. I view the threat from North Korea to be more important than fighting over whose idea of a perfect nation is correct. In truth this nation would be perfect if everyone accepted that everyone has flaws.
