I greatly respect the founding fathers of the United States. The context of the quoate is what most Liberals have become. I am a hard line conservative and will defend capitalism and democracy to the death
First off, you obviously don't respect the framers and the founders or you'd never post something so profoundly obnoxious and wrongheaded. The fact is you reinvent reality and ignore the basic facts to fit your skewed worldview. The founding fathers were liberals son.
Keep in mind the conservatives at the time of the American Revolutionary war were royalists, and believed in the privelages of the nobility, they also believed the role of The State was to support the power of said aristocracy, that was the whole point of capitalism of the time, to put everyone on an equal playing field. And for the most part capitalism works, however all first world nations have evolved to managed markets for a reason. Again I know you ignore reality and conjure your own version to fit your ideology, but the historical facts are thus: under a pure capitalist model the US has massive recessions every 15-20 years, and I mean massive. This occured until the Great Depression, where the US under the leadership of FDR evolved to a managed market, from then until Reagan there were no massive recessions. The closest to this was the Recession that occured under Carter, which was caused by the OPEC oil embargo, the economy was obviously shocked by having gas shortages.
Since Reagan we are now seeing a reemergence of the old and historically familiur recessionary cycle. And this is only the tip of the iceberg of what's crazy about modern "conservatism", which isn't conservatism at all, the current movement is right wing fanaticism. The part that is so absurd is the oft called for "smaller government", while at the same time the right in America demands an increase in military spending and a beligerant foreign policy and increase in State intervention in citizen's personal lives. This is obviously paradoxical to a small government claim, ie it is entirely specious. As they say, actions speak louder then words.

I love this, you have the audacity to post vitriolic idiocy, and then demand that the matter is close. I will call you on your stupidity every time I you rub it in my face dude.
Edit: I see you have changed your quote to something more akin to personal political oppinion, rather then pointless passive aggression. I wol't continue this line of discussion, as your current sig isn't nearly as obnoxious.
