How to tell a liberal from a Conservative, a Democrat from a Republican it isn't too difficult

South Africa is seizing farmland without recompense. Then, distributing the land to those without experience above subsistence farming.  Their neighbor, Zimbabwe (formerly Rhodesia) made the similar actions.  Zimbabwe progressed from the bread basket of southern Africa to starvation.

Exactly, and there are a great many in America that do not respect freedom or have a polluted sense of it that would be just as wiling for the same to happen here.  Many liberals would have no problem replacing our Constitution with a new one that would support their agenda.  There are a large number of liberals who even have forgotten history or have never knew history from the beginning and have in their mind that the founding of this nation was done so on the backs of slaves and that those who participated in its founding were slave masters and thus we need a more inclusive Constitution that takes into account everyone equally and is "fair" to all.  They fail to look at our constitution as an alive document that has built in procedures by which to alter and change it and those changes were made difficult but not impossible and for a very good reason.  

Most, if not all, civilizations and great Nations or dynasties have fell and crumbled from the inside and given our current age it's not unlikely that outside interest would have inside assistance in accomplishing their agenda and desires.  With this great Nation and in our time though more power has been granted to the people and although we have a system where the people have power we are close to forgetting why we have that and failing to appreciate what we do have.  Or at least that is how it seems to me at times.

The genius of America is the constitution, coupled with the American character.  The constitution's checks and balances keep any branch from accumulating too much power, internally.  The compromises such as the Senate, House and electoral college keep a few states from over ruling the rest and urban, suburban and rural from accumulating too much power.

The American character increased, over time, those who participate in the freedoms promised by the constitution.  White men, with property, were the first to vote and serve. Then, in concentric circles, the number grew larger.  Most state required men own about $50 in property (a large sum at the time) before they could vote. In time, most men considered property, not just land and building, but their tools and stock.  Thus, middle class men begin to vote and serve. Slaves were freed after a disastrous war.  Then, made citizens and granted the vote (men anyway).  Women's suffrage became a reality.  More people granted more freedom and rights under the same system.
