A sad commentary on we, as a people, and our viewpoint of our freedom can be summed up like this. We have liberals and conservatives, Democrats and Republicans, yet those very people look at Constitutionalists as radical and extreme.................so those liberals and conservatives, Democrats and Republicans must believe that the constitution is radical and extreme.
Hello PoliTalker:
Another Obama lie:

President Barack Obama vowed Monday to cut the country's budget deficit in half by the end of his first term. (Feb. 23)

I didn't say they NEVER do. I said conservative policies lead to bigger government. Of course there are plenty of Democrats who fail to live up to their liberal ideals. The are also Democrats who aren't even liberal, they'll just say anything to get elected, like Hillary.
However, as I said before, liberal countries have smaller government and more economic freedom than conservative ones, and Republicans are worse than Democrats when it comes to shrinking government. Government virtually always grows under a Republican president. Ronald Reagan, who has been deified by the GOP, expanded the federal government, raised the debt ceiling, and raised taxes. He even gave illegals amnesty.

liberal AND conservative policies lead to bigger government. whether its more laws or more regulations, they all require more manpower to enforce. Liberal countries have smaller governments because they are smaller countries. Our government has consistently grown under any president for decades, because that is what modern government does. grow to expand and enforce more of its own power.

There are plenty of conservative countries that are bigger and plenty that are smaller. Even the smaller ones have much less freedom than the liberal countries.
Actually, Democrats shrink the size of government.Our government has consistently grown under any president for decades, because that is what modern government does. grow to expand and enforce more of its own power.
I know Daily Kos has a left-wing bias, but this article uses .gov sites to show where it gets its info.

Hello StoneByStone,
It's uncanny. Draining the swamp, shrinking government, this was one of the big crowd-pleasers during his 2016 rallies. To see him fail at that, and his fans are unconcerned, well, it's just weird. That is some slick con job. He can lie to them and they don't care.
Most people don't like being lied to.
Most people feel like their trust has been betrayed if they get promised something but they don't end up getting what they were promised.
They've been victimized by a liar and they make excuses for him.
Very embarrassing.
It doesn't wear well.
