I think the that fundamental difference between Conservatives and Liberals comes down to this one question: Are there absolutes. I know after this question how a conversation is going to go and very rarely does it deviate from what I have come to expect. The reason for this is that the question forms the basis for all of our knowledge and experience. It is the lens through which we examine the world and judge it.
I love America. If you ever have the pleasure of meeting my friends they will tell you that I am am American. I may be pure Irish, but I have never been to the Emerald Isle. The best thing that our President, Barack Obama, has done is bring national pride back. People are happy to be American again, it may be for different reasons than why I am proud to be an American, but I will take it. Eventually they will see how awesome America is. But why do I think America is awesome and what exactly are the reason that people should be proud of America?
