Article: Difference BTW Liberals and Conservatives

Bobby & JC are house negroes...

[bobbythekidd]

I think it is more that Bobby doesn't need to say anything to refute it. I think the guy wrote this about 1890

JEEZUS!! Come on guys! It's Bob dammit!

[Wedgebuster]

BUCDADDY, you need to really research JC, he was a wolf in sheep's clothing, the Repubs were not even going to support him going any further with his career. As for JINDAL, he came off as such a dweeb the last time they propped him up there to speak he is toast as well. The Repubs keep trying to come up with their own Obama, and their own Hillary Clinton then we truly are down to a one party system right now.

It would be inaccurate to characterize either J.C. Watts of Bobby Jindal as lightweights. They each established distinguished careers as popular public figures and earned substantial conservative credentials long before Obama came on the scene.

Jindal comes off as a pussy. Watts was as much a Republican as....Arlen Specter.

There you have it,

Palin/Plumber 2012!

Next!

I bet I can create strawman arguments as well as this guy, let me give it a try.

Liberals are elitists. They think the common man is stupid and incapable of making decisions for himself - decisions about retirement, his own life and health. Rather than allow the economy to be run by the creativity and ingenuity of common folk, they want for a government made up of social activists and lawyers from the collectivist socialist good-ole-boy network to run everything. They fear people who are convinced they can live without big government as it threatens their power to control society and its wealth. They don't want people to be able to puruse their own happiness but want everyone to be equally miserable. They have fostered victim mentalities in every possible subset of the non-hetero-white male population to get them to beg the government for more social engineering. They use their control over the media and public schools to indoctrinate people into beleiving that they need them.

Funny. I just heard Rush Limabugh say the very same thing yesterday!

You really do listen to Limbaugh, don't you?
That's actually the kind of stuff that he says.

Ran across this article from Jan '08, pre-election. Succinct, to the point....and correct.

*****************

"While all Americans cherish the triumphant individual myth, we often disagree on crucial elements of the narrative. One point of contention is the eligibility rules. Historically, liberals have supported a more inclusive definition of who the narrative applies to; for example, progressives argue that everyone should be eligible to run for President: male or female, black or white, gay or straight, believer or atheist, able-bodied or physically challenged. Conservatives contend the position should be reserved for white, male, straight, able-bodied Christians, and apply similar restrictions to other positions of power.


Another point of contention concerns the starting line for each of our lives. Liberals believe in the notion of a level playing field. They contend that every American deserves the right to unfettered opportunity and, therefore, it is unfair to provide some children with advantages that others do not have; for example, progressives believe every child has the right to a quality education. In contrast, conservative thinking is heavily influenced by economic Calvinism, particularly the notion that poverty is an indication God does not look with favor upon an individual: if a poor child is served by mediocre public schools and has inadequate healthcare, conservatives argue that's what God intended.



Liberal and conservative values and policies stem from their interpretation of the triumphant individual myth. Progressives defend the notion of elemental human rights, the idea of a strong social safety net - food, housing, medical care, and education. Conservatives emphasize property rights and the necessity of the rich and powerful to operate without interference.

On issue after issue, liberals and conservatives see things in a radically different light: The environment? Progressive see they have a responsibility to sustain a healthy environment for future generations - it's an extension of the notion of the common good. Conservatives see the environment as free resources to be used to maximize individual advantage. We perceive differently, because we have different core beliefs."





As I said, nailed it.

I'm calling bullshit.
1) It's from the huffington
2) Not all conservatives are the same. Not all Liberals are the same. Not all conservatives are white, males.

This another example of an adult that can't be unbiased. I'm a social liberal and fiscal conservative. People that stir the pot like this and divide this country into camps are wrong. We need to be more united and you don't get that way when you cut down other people and think your shit smells like roses.

[Ibanez]

Mostly, Bobby, because you can't say anything to refute it. The guy is dead on and it injures you to have it held up before your eyes. Again.

I think it is more that Bobby doesn't need to say anything to refute it. I think the guy wrote this about 1890

Honestly, generalizing isn't going to make the case stronger. It's refuted when you lump groups of people together KNOWING that it isn't true because there are so many exceptions.

[AZGrizFan]

I lost my dignity years ago when Bush and Rush and the merry band of Neo-Cons hijacked the conservative movement...

I hope that was the last vote I will ever regret casting.

Uh, probably not.

Gotta agree with AZ on this one....

I can dream

[dbackjon]

I can dream

But can you dream a dream?

[bobbythekidd]

I don't even know what that means

[ASUG8]

Cap'n is right, assuming we're speaking about the % of population that lives and breathes in the extreme tails of the bell curve. Most Americans live somewhere within a std. deviation of being independent, present company included. I'm fiscally conservative, and mixed on social agenda. I'm probably "Republican lite", being pro-choice and fiscally conservative. I didn't vote for Obama because I didn't (and still don't) know definitively where he stands on things, and I wasn't on fire about McCain (and certainly not Palin, who does live in the far right bell curve tail).

[dbackjon]

I don't even know what that means

Well that's your problem in a nutshell. You assumed some culture found it's way to South Georgia and I stumbled upon it.

You just described me to a tee.

Agreed...!!!
My primary concerns are social issues
-Church and state 1 million miles apart
-Government out of womens choices
-guns handed out at middle schools
-States rights = except when not constitutional
-Gay marriage - whatever...

Fiscally conservative - smaller military - less programs - less restrictions - laws not tied to state funding

You'll never get that becuase the government has too much control and will never, I repeat...NEVER RELINQUISH CONTROL.

My liberal friends HATE my attitude towards guns
~I don't care what guns people have... hell RPG's should be legal and sold on the street for all I care
~but along with that - tax churches that even speak of politics or express a political affiliation
~and leave people alone - who cares who gets married or why a woman goes to the doctor

just my 2 cents

And my conservative friends hate my attitude towards abortion and gay marriage.

It's just none of my business...
