The liberal Democrats continue to ask whose side John Roberts is on before he is confirmed. What they really want to know is whether or not he will throw a monkey wrench in their grand liberal big government, God denying, anything goes agenda. Anyone who doesn’t think what they just read is true about Kennedy, Clinton, Schumer, Leahy, Lincoln, Pryor, Boxer, and the remainder of that ilk, hasn’t been paying attention to their proclivities during their time in office.

When this nation was founded, most of the men and women who began the process of nation building had an unswerving allegiance to God, His moral principles, the scriptures, and the good life that comes from following biblical precepts of right and decency. Those ideals were woven into the fabric of the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution, thus creating the frame work for the foundation of the nation’s laws. But that has and is changing due to the liberals who hate anything that will hinder their agenda.

Routinely, the group cited above rants and raves when anyone challenges their ideas. They accuse those who do of being ideologists, as if their notions can’t be ideology. (A better word for their notions would be “idiotology.”) Men and women who support the Constitution and the rule of law are ridiculed for being right wing in their approach to life but they will never admit that the real wing is theirs on the left.

At issue isn’t right, left, conservative or liberal; rather it is what is the true and correct path for life both for individuals and for the nation. The founders looked to God for a reason. They knew that when individuals conduct their lives according to God’s ways, then everyone benefits because those standards harm no one. The same ideal is true when the Constitution is followed. The provisions of the Constitution harm no one when followed. It is when they aren’t respected that causes harm to all, even those who call themselves liberals.

Those who want answers from nominee Roberts are desperate to find out what he will say and how he will rule on the issues of abortion, civil rights, gay marriage, energy, and the economy, to name some of their interests. Abortion, gay marriage, and civil rights involve both moral and Constitutional principles, while the other two are issues that speak to the government not limiting itself to the Constitution as given by the founders. The fact that Roberts might tread on the “holy ground” of the foregoing issues make liberals become vehement in their attacks on those who would counter their agenda.

Any abrogation of their pet ideologies diminishes their power and that they can’t tolerate, so they have to push their agenda by trying to make the confirmation process for Roberts one of right or conservative, versus their “oh so normal,” middle of the road, mainstream thinking according to them. The one sure way for Roberts to be a real thorn to them is to stand up for limited government as per the Constitution which would settle many of then dividing issues that confront the nation.

A return to limited government would take the government out of religion, morals, the economy, denial of property rights, and most of the other ideological agenda of the left. Now perhaps it can be understood why the liberals are desperate to know on whose side John Roberts will be before he is seated on the court. It goes without saying that by not being on their side, then he is on the side of morals, right, and limited government; those are the real issues in the opposition of the liberal Democrats which they are trying to keep hidden from the public.
