Response to Guardian on new book about Conservatism.

Liberalism, which I define as the philosophy based on the equality of man, equal justice for all, and voting rights to choose the laws under which you live, the executives who enforce those laws, and the judges who interpret and apply those laws, has made great strides since John Locke, but has not succeeded. To be successful the Representatives who make our laws must be removed from the process. They cannot and do not Represent the people. They are bought and paid for by the rich and powerful. Our founding Fathers did not believe we are wise enough to govern ourselves,so they concocted the two bicameral houses of Representatives to make our laws. They proudly stated that it is a Representative Republic, not a Democracy, and that Actual Democracy was impossible because all the people could not gather together and vote. This is a falsehood. Nonetheless, the Constitution has intermediaries for all direct votes: Representatives vote on laws, not the people. Members of the Electoral College vote for the Executives, and the Executive appoints the Federal Judges, who aren't answerable to the people, the legislature, or the Executive; Jefferson said it was as if they weren't even part of the country. Liberalism has succeeded to the level it has, all over the world, because it approaches freedom for the individual and justice for the individual. It will completely succeed when it is an actual democracy: one where the people vote directly on the laws - without the corruption of Representatives, directly for the Chief Executives - and  not members of the electoral College; and directly on the Judges. Such a government will not be perfect, but it will be "more perfect" than any Representative, Conservative, government.
