Feedback Question: Is this statement true? |
The following is the feedback question: "Liberals ended slavery, got women the right to vote, got African-Americans the right to vote, created Social Security and lifted millions of elderly people out of poverty; they ended segregation, passed the Civil Rights Act, the Voting Rights Act; They created Medicare, passed the Clean Air and Clean Water Act. What did conservatives do? They opposed every single one of these programs. My question is; Is the statement above true." This is a revisionist statement made on a very ungodly TV show. A drama. Fiction. It is being made by people who have no rationale that would require them to be truthful. Their belief system does not require truth. They are concerned with controlling the message, keeping any conflicting message from coming forward, and presenting their stories in the most convincing way possible. In addition to the bold-faced lies there is a much more subtle lie. In the way that this fictional dialog was presented, it presents conservatism as the opposite of liberalism. Liberalism is a cult. Liberalism presents a destructive false doctrine. That doctrine is the claim that people are basically good. God says that there is not a just man upon the earth that does good and does not sin. If most people were actually good, then there would be no need for Jesus. No one would need to be saved from their sins and save to God's righteousness. In simple terms, Liberalism is self-righteousness. As part of this self-righteousness, Liberalism assumes that a utopia or near-utopia is possible. They may think that people are evolving into ever better people--by natural processes. They are unrealistic in this. Every evidence conflicts with this view. They cannot deal with reality. One of the problems with all of this is that part of the Liberal, Progressive, Secular Humanist, Naturalist, Materialist, Relativist, and Post Modernist movements is to re-define and confuse the meanings of words. For this reason, members of these movements continually re-define the meanings of many words, including "liberal" and "conservative."
Conservatism, in it's simplist form is the desire not to change. If the change is bad, as in the case of most of what the Liberal movement has proposed, then conservatism is good. Conservatism can also be bad if the changes are good changes, such as returning to a respect for God and God's ways.
