Life isn't necessarily fair. Liberals are all about maintaining fairness and they take it to the point of being unreasonable. Being fair is great. But lets be reasonable! These groups (often Liberal) take large measures to bring fairness not just to everyone but everyTHING.
A past blog post talked about the Delta Smelt and how these groups shut down people's farms to "save" this tiny minnow-like fish. Now I say that is taking things too far! Im up for fairness, most conservatives are! But I and others like me try and hope for a government that maintains as much fairness as possible without hurting the nation or losing their reason.
Think about it: Animal Rights Activists, Vegans (and people like them), Extreme Environmentalists, Socialists/Communists, advocates for the "distribution of the wealth", hippies and even evolutionists (note most of these groups are primarily or solely liberal) all can be drawn to being based around equality and fairness. Humanity obviously has a desire and a struggle to maintain an equilibrium and peace between everyone and apparently now, everything.
Unfortunately mankind is just not able to function with a system that would provide that.
Attempts to keep everyone "fair" only allows for countless holes for Corruption and Manipulation. Thats how Stalin and Lenin Operated and even Hitler. A system (like Communism) was developed to provide universial fairness to each individual. Well when you are operating the system you can easily pop up and twist the system to do your will rather than the people's.
The Pattern in History as Marx put it is that there are exploiters and the alienated (the exploited). Although Marx did not realize that there are always exploiters and the alienated in any government. In Marx's ideal government it had the perfect opportunities for the people keeping other people in fairness to rise up and become the exploiters. Just like what happened during the French Revolution with Robspierre.
The Exploiters NEVER leave, they just take different forms. In Capitalism the exploiters are the CEOs and the corporate fat cats. But the Nice thing about Capitalism is that the greed of all the exploiters keeps the whole system in relative check and ensures that the exploited aren't as exploited as they would be otherwise. So because the very thing that exploits the exploited is kept in check by competing exploiters, Capitalism is still the best system we can use that we know of.

Greatness?? What your History teachers don't tell you!
Ok, here are some examples of societies that were built up to become conquerors of all or much of the known world...:
Genghis Khan and the Mongol Horde
Alexander the Great the Macedonian Prince
Adolf Hitler The German Totaltarian
Charles V and the Spanish-Holy Roman Empire
The Empire of the Persians
The Empire of the Egyptians
The Empire of the Romans and Byzantines
Hirohito and the Japanese Empire
I am going to go through each one and show two big things in common with them...
BIG THING NUMBER ONE: The Empires were built up by WARFARE
Genghis Khan swept in with death and fear leading the way, ditto to nearly all the other empires up there. They built themselves up by looking all mean and bad. They kept their provinces and subjects in order by threats and fear. They were essentially bullys and eventually the nerds they picked on, struck back.
BIG THING NUMBER TWO: The country of origin for these empires are either bad off now, or were earlier.
I am gonna make this fast but try to follow me: *GDP is Gross Domestic Product, Annual income on average per working person*
Genghis Khan originated from Mongolia, conquered all the way to Poland and Hungary, including all of Asia. Now... Mongolia is a country of 2.5 Million people and a GDP of only$1,500...thats not really very prosperous.
Alexander the Great started in Macedonia and conquered the known world east of the Etruscans. Macedonia is now a South Eastern European lower tier country of only 2 Million people and a GDP of $4,500...that is still really bad. It is neither been accepted in the EU and is struggling to become part of NATO.
Spain is not as bad as Mongolia or Macedonia but it is a definite lesser power of Europe. It has the current worst unemployment rate among European countries and the USA, it has a projected $4,000 decrease in GDP for upcoming years. Charles V had once had it built up to control most of the New World, and a good portion of Western Europe, most of Central Europe and Southern Italy.
Persia once had most of the known world, now, the country known as Iran is all that is left, a war-torn country that has made enemies with all sorts of organizations, neighbors and other powers. It has a small GDP of $4,750 and 74 and a half Million people who are not content.
Egypt, once the world superpower, the world would bow to Egypt in ancient times. But now?? A third-world nation barely making it on their own in Northern Africa. They got beat up by tiny Israel in 6 days. And a very low $2,750 GDP.
Nations that are not as bad off right now could be Italy, Japan and Germany. Rome, after the fall of the Empire was in ruins, torn by barbarians and vagabonds. Later it had a revival of the Renaissance, only to fall into a mess of quabbling city states who sought for more power. It then consistently decreased and was a poor nation up to WWII and afterwards gradually has been inclining and returning with power.
Germany was once, after Hitler and the Nazi reign, was broken and beaten. Their people were unhappy and many were enslaved otherwise. Germany now is in much better state than previously, but after WWII was not even a unified country and took a while to stand on its feet again.
Japan? Well several hundred thousand people being nuked and killed is most certainly not an increase in prosperity. They were broken and economically destitute. They now have a top 5 economy in the world and are prospering greatly, yet they have upset many neighbors like Taiwan, China, and Russia.
Another thing to notice is that two empires that have been broken down slightly and are still alive and prospering (Russia and China) Were/are/will be built on communism...scary thought.
Hence, dont be a bully or else it may cost you ^_^
