::That said, I'm open to a more detailed study of the lyrics ... provided we can first agree that different ideologies do prioritize and emphasize the future differently.--[[User:Aschlafly|Andy Schlafly]] 17:27, 28 July 2010 (EDT)

:::I think we'll have to disagree on this one. I'm sure that every political party has platformed on the future. Even in campaigning candidates say "If I'm elected..." which is about the future, albeit very near. While Communists may encourage worship of the present leader, much of their promises to the people are about the way things will be in the future.
:::In our society, every bit of criticism or praise is focused on our current leaders (kind of like those Communists), but their promises are about things that will come to fruition ''someday''. If anything, it seems liberals would fit the song's ideas better than conservatives: conservatives enact policies that make sense ''now'', while liberals try to preempt nonexistent threats like global warming with policies that aren't necessary immediately, but supposedly are necessary to "ensure our future," or some made up excuse like that.
:::Here are the lyrics from the song: [[http://www.lyricsfreak.com/f/fleetwood+mac/dont+stop_20054276.html)]]. It seems to be about an incident in a relationship. While I see how this song could be applied to conservative values, I don't see anything that prevents it being applied just as well to most value systems.
