A Little Further Clarification

While thinking about my last post, I realized it might have been a little misleading.  I realize that the post may have been seen by Conservatives as a slap in the face.  That was not my intent.  I wanted to focus on the ideals of a truly representative government.  Since our current crises is related to the impending fiscal cliff, the Conservative minority in the Senate seems to be causing the holdup.  However, the problem is not with the Conservatives.  My position would be unchanged any time a group representing a minority opinion obstructed open debate on any issue regardless of whether they represented communists or fasciests  or socialists or anarchists.  Representative government needs to allow all positions to be argued, and, ultimately the negotiated position brought to a vote to be determined by a majority opinion.  Ultimately, the will of the people should determine the position of the country.
