On a Williams roll

Walter "E" Williams was sitting in for Rush today, and I only caught about 10 minutes since I was wasting away learning about the inversion integral, Cauchy-Riemann conditions, complex variables, singularities, analyticity.......fun. But the part I caught, Dr. Williams brought up a comparison that I've used quite often and is the reason why Christians tend to be conservative. To paraphrase him, the Constitution uses negative phrases towards Congress around 40-50 times. This was intended to establish the idea that government was the enemy of the people and the Constitution is a restraining document. This is because the vision of man from which this document was built upon is a vision of a flawed being that would take advantage of other men, given the power. If we took this document and told God in Heaven, hey pal, this is going to be the governing philosophy, then it would be an affront to God because God is inherently good. So the reason Christians tend to be conservative is they believe man is not inherently good - Christian doctrine begins with the fall of man. The liberal vision basically supplants God with man - and carried to its logical end you have communism, which to quote Chambers, is the vision of man without God. Not saying I believe Christian liberals are godless heathen, just misguided in from where their ideology springs.
