The city that I live by, Detroit lakes Minnesota, just recently sold a large chunk of land, supposedly to Mills Fleet or Menards. Where did this land come from?? A private citizen, which the city took the land with some rediculious reason, they sold it for upwards of 1-2 million.
Liberalism I feel still has a role in America, but a much smaller role than 100 yrs ago, like I said earlier. The biggest issue that I feel they are just in fighting for is Gay Marriage. In another hundered or so years from now (or whenever it is allowed) I feel it will be looked back apon by future generations with shame, much like racism is today.
I am with you on those environmentalist. I feel that They have done their role, but now need step down. Did you know that trees are actually growing faster than what we can chop them down!!! That doesnt seem to get across too much. Certain things that they fought for I believe are right, like emissions on vehicles or having to go back and plant trees where they were chopped down. Also the regulations about the use of pesticides around bodies of water is an important one, which I feel is important. (remember, I live in the land of too many lakes) They do need to learn where to draw the line, when it becomes too much of a problem for people. I can see the pesticide thing, which is simple to obey, you just have to buy the right stuff. Now if it were that you couldnt run your cars engine 1mile from any lake, alot of people would be in trouble.
I also feel that god has no place in government. What I mean by this is that no decision made by the government should be based on god, only the moral beliefs of most americas, or the right decision to make everybody as free as possible. (even if it goes against what most americas feel. Monuments, to me, are fine to have on goverment property, as long as the goverment didnt pay for them or another religious monument is denied on the same property. To me this links back to gay marriage, which in the eyes of god is wrong, but otherwise doesnt affect anybody else.
