Do not waste your time by asking a Democrat what they stand for or what their platform is because all you will get is nonsensical mumbo-jumbo and double talk. All you have to do is listen to what they are accusing the Republicans of and walla … You know that the Democrats are up to. The longer and louder they decry FOUL, the more they are involved. The Democrat Party has accused the Republican Party of racism as far back as I can remember, however it is my considered opinion that the li...
Economics like facts and the truth are just unimportant f rivolities for the liberal minded. Example: Let us give everyone a 10% bonus, fair so far … right? If one makes $300,000.00, 10% produces a $30,000.00 bonus. To this RICH person, that is just 10% but represents a 100% bonus if you only make $30,000.00. Conversely, if one makes $30,000.00, 10% produces a $3,000.00 bonus. To this person, that is just 10% but the RICH one sees this as a mere 1%. It is simply a matter of fairne...
Let me say up front that I am a Conservative (a used to be Republican) and I am appalled at the apparent gullibility of many in the Republican Party. Yes, I am talking about the apparent support Senator John McCain has AS INDICATED BY THE POLLS AND PUNDENTS! Before I let into Mr. McCain, let me first say that I applaud his service to our country and the personal sacrifice he has had to endure at the hands of the Enemy. That being said, My Father was a war hero too. He was wounded many times;...
There is only ONE difference between our two presumably ‘for the people’ governmental parties. One is for CAPITOLISM and the other for SOCIALISM … period! Call them whatever you like, they have virtually nothing in common with the politicians of old, the ones that used to concern themselves with the welfare of America and its people. EVERYTHING they spew now is ‘propaganda’ used to recruit additional adherents and to motivate their bases which have already been suckered into their mad...
In light of current attitudes and the disposition of large segments of our society, some reclassification is in order. Now, as this will mostly be political in nature, I can just imagine the predisposed ire that will be forming before any references are actually made. The contrived indignation we pretend to suffer from merely mentioning simple qualifiers like, say, that I am a Reagan Conservative slams the blinders on and is tantamount to idiocy. Without any transference of information or sta...
I suppose that your view on this simple question defines your political affiliation more than anything else. Now you could sit back in your guise as an armchair quarterback and nitpick everything taking place in the real world as is the want of most people, but this is unproductive at best, destructive at worst, solves nothing and produces ulcers and hatred amongst your fellow countrymen. Take a look around our country and what do you see? What kind of irrational human being develops a vi...
When I was Young and all-knowing, well, I used to be a Democrat. Being young and inexperienced and gullible beyond belief, I fell prey to the Carrots they brandished for all takers. Who was I to question all the wonderful freebees they were offering … after all they were FREE, weren’t they? It seemed reasonable to me, for them to take care of THINGS in my best interest that I didn't know enough about to do for myself, after all, I was young and foolish and unworldly. Then I spent 10 years...
I see today’s politics as pretty much black and white. Please don’t misunderstand me, I most assuredly don’t like this situation, but it isn’t of my making. Personally I think some of the things the liberals promote are good things and some of the things conservatives promote are not so good. But I just don’t know how to pick and choose anymore. Too much rides on a majority. I am more interested in the overall scheme of things, not the petty arguments that both parties use to enrage their bas...
I believe the merits should precede a conflict, not depend on its outcome. Unfortunately, I agree with a friends surmise; “… Bush's attempt to democratize Iraq will be considered brilliant if it works, and if it does not, idiotic in light of the Muslim ideal of the best community and the history of the region. It’s not over yet.” Terrorism is virtually a way of life in the Muslim culture and has been taking place there for 1000 years or more. It was pretty much ignored by the rest of the worl...
When I look at the media, what I see is a den of liberal bedfellows. Sure there are occasional conservative leaning article, but those are usually condescending in some way. Think back 10 years or so, before widespread internet access, talk radio and Fox News … where was one to go for something besides liberal biased information. Word of mouth will only go so far. The media wasn’t quite as deferential back then, but still favored the liberal view. Why is there such an outcry at the few conser...
On the one hand, the liberals and their elitist leaders are actually condemning President Bush, Republicans, American policy and the Coalition for attempting to foist our DEMOCRATIC principles on the unsuspecting innocent peoples of Iraq regardless of the fact that they repeatedly voted for it. However, on the other hand, guess what the liberals amongst us are doing (this is sweet and typical). They are trying to foist our DEMOCRATIC principles on the despicably culpable anything but in...
Just to set the record straight on why I view myself a conservative (not necessarily a present day Republican), I will go into some of my beliefs here. Many of my previous posts (elsewhere) have returned the argument that MY SOURCES are politically biased (??) and are offset by other views for instance Igor’s documentary (if you can really call it that) “An Inconvenient Truth” on global warming. I prefer to use something like “The Great Global Warming Swindle” Link instead. You see, I don...
Our present political climate is a strange bird at best. It is puzzeling as to how we got to this stage of drastic impasse, but stranger still is the fact that large percentages of our population has been sucked up into the political nonsense as well. There is no such thing as debate in DC, no matter where you look for it. For that matter, there is virtually no debate in the general population either, go figure. I am sure there must have been a time when the Democrat Party presented some kind...
Common sense can take you a long way through life, if you will just stop being blinded by political issues. Unfortunately, it seems that common sense is headed the way of the Dodo Bird. I don’t think anyone is capable of convincing the political diehards of either party that there is even the POSSIBILITY of an error in their thinking, so I won’t even try as I am not known for my patience or tolerance particularly where abject stupidity is involved. Personally, I refuse to allow myself ...
Well, I’M BACK … for those that really care. Sorry for the long delay, but I have undertaken a couple of new endeavors that have been somewhat time consuming. Truth be told (Imagine that!), I have found myself tiring of my inability to actually find people to communicate with, to compare notes and to actually debate over issues pressing our times. Instead, what I had run up against were unfounded arguments, insults, slander and vicious bickering with little or no factual basis. We are suppose...
