Well, Washington and Adams were part of the Federalist party, which favored a stronger central government, and Jefferson had views that both sides can adapt. He didn't like big industrial corporations, yet, in many ways he was libertarian. I don't think you can really place Jefferson anywhere, overall.

In fact, I'd say that if we went back to 1789, it would be the conservatives who would oppose the constitution's ratification because it would have created a somewhat powerful central government and took some powers away from the colonies. Just a thought.

American conservatives = anti-federalists.

Well, when you make asinine threads like this and get owned by the forum's brighter bulbs, guess you have to start over.

Miss me?

Sorry, but I actually worked today.

That's a foreign concept to the left.

Besides, I said what I know to be true. I do not need to argue with a bunch of socialists about it.

Another way of saying "I can't back up what I said with real facts, but I'm better than you anyway".

I worked too - does that shock you?? You started the thread yesterday at 7pm-ish - dont tell me you have been working for 1 whole day, have started 2 other threads but somehow manaaged to avoid the answers you got here. Maybe you didnt like the answers you got. Maybe all you wanted was to troll and start "why does the left ..." type of crap. Just wanted to point this out in this thread.
Have a good evening - rest up since you need to work tomorrow on behalf of the rest of us.

EVERY action by the left is based on "feelings" and "good intentions", not Constitutional premise.

I am better than you, BTW!

Again, you have no proof. You're just basing your accusations on your "feelings" about liberals. Tell me, why do I hate the constitution? Is it Article I? Article III? Or do I hate the 1st, 7th and 9th amendments? Tell me, since you seem to know so much about us liberals.
