Conservative vs Liberal(which would best benefit our nation)

Ding! lets go :)Con has already said that he will debate the political philosophy being liberalism. If he starts to wonder in that direction this will be a debate of ideology and not reality. Remember our debate is about what sill best benefit the nation in a literal sense not what could possibly work.I think I will approach this debate in the angle with how our nation has prospered with conservative policies, and show why liberal policies have failed. My first pointA primary view behind conservatism is less government. I believe that running things on state levels would benefit both our causes. This allows a state to determine the rules and regulations within it, and have an overall rule imposed on it. Let us say liberals wanted gay marriage to pass. If they tried to run this on a federal level it would not work for years, it would have to be a majority vote and since it is a popularity contest and can be bias, it would not past for decades. If this were ran on a state level only, as it is in some ways now. This gives each state the chance to enact and enforce this belief. Laws would very state by state. Liberalism at its core does desire for more government, and if it had its way would run on federal levels. Gay marriage for example would be barred all together because of conservatives being forced to vote and it be applied on a across the board basis. This also gives each state the right to have their own opinion and view points, while offering liberals who may not agree with it the chance to relocate. Or gay couples the chance to find a state , where they may be able to get married. Second pointAnother reason this can benefit us as a nation is that it can promote a free market system which falls in line with conservative policies. In fact it is the essence of a free market system. I will say that a pure free market system could possibly and probably would fail, it allows us to take principles from that and work with it. Conservatism promotes individual competition within companies and promotes economic growth. This can give investors a chance to invest in businesses they want without having to worry about their dividends taxes being raised by an insane amount. This is turn will scare investors away and they will not want to invest due to lack of profits. All the regulations that conservatism is placing on businesses and corporations, eventually they will not be able to sustain themselves. It is taking away the need for competition between businesses and corporations, which is when our nation has always prospered the most. 3rd pointLet us look at some of the policies obama has put into place. He is giving the government control of health care. Which baffles me because look what they have accomplished with our education system. We have some of the lowest scores in the world. Let us look at Canada they have universal health care as well, but the quality of the doctors they have is drastically reduced to the fact that it limits pay. He has lessened the requirements for unemployment. At the moment it is cal in, push a button, say yes and you have it. People have and always will exploit this. He has also increased the time in which employment lasts, which has so drastically increased our unemployment numbers that it is ridiculous. People get the check and sit on it because they get more from that, than what they could working minimum wage. He also wants to cut military funding and solders pay grades. This is illogical to me, and all of this is modern liberalism at its coreClosingWe have seen though out history why conservatism (during the time of Regan) and many others times, has best benefited this nation, and how liberalism as of now is not working. So the only thing to assume is conservatism is the more viable choice to help advance this nation.
