You're answering his simplistic garbage with more simplistic garbage of your own just FYI
There's a fine line between order and chaos, and this is the reason most societies have a finite life. They lose the balance. You need progressive ideas just as much as you need structured conservative principles to implement and run those ideas.
Oh you absolutely need a balance thats why the 'pendulum' swings back and forth in this country. All those fantastic humanitarian programs the left comes up with ultimately ends up being paid for by the taxpayer and there is only so far that taxpayers will be taxed.
So then the right has to come back in and be the bad guys for a while, and left unchecked they too will go to an extreme until we don't give a shit about people at all, then the left comes back in...rinse and repeat
