I'm reading Liberty and tyranny : a conservative manifesto by Mark R. Levin. He basically outlines conservatism as the perfect political outlook, and his descriptions of conservatism sound fantastic. If you didn't know better, you'd say, "Yeah I'm a conservative!"
He starts to go wrong when he begins describing liberals (or "stateists"). He exaggerates their position, and talks about all their bad ideas. He says that liberalism is basically a soft form of tyranny because liberals want the power to control your life with laws and regulations.
In other words, they're busy-body do-gooders that want to mother you and protect you like a nanny. Partly true, of course. But he doesn't mention the problems with conservatives. I'd thought I'd share a few in my opinion:
- They're close-minded and stubborn.
- They don't like "change", and are often against progressive or new ideas.
- They're pro-military and aggressive
- They're socially dogmatic and often push religious views on people.
