I have to ask, I've been hearing about how neo-cons are out of touch with Americans, but im seriously starting to think they are out of touch with sanity. Who here see's themselves as a right-wing conservative? Im not talking about moderate republicans, im talking about bat-shit crazy, war mongering, presidential privilege unquestioning, neo-conservatives.
I find hilarious the ignorant non-informed makers of this section. Politicians can only be divided into Liberals or Conservatives in a very narrow minded view of the political spectrum, a line, with each politician representing a point on that line. Radical conservatives on the far right, radical liberals on the far left, more centrists towards the middle The American Two Party System is currently (mostly) divided in such a manner, Liberals vs Conservatives, Democrats vs Republicans*. There are, however, political parties that take into account the fact the fact that spectrum actually is more separated into 4 corners. The belief systems that generally align with this spectrum are Liberals/Leftists vs Conservatives/Rightists, and Liberterians/Individualists vs Statists/Communitarianism. So, in short, I present that the name of this section is... PHAIL! On a note, I know that not all democrats are liberals (and vice versa) and that not all republicans are conservatives (and vice versa), but since the
Politics (and I use the word to refer to non-politician politics) mainly revolves around the following points, where the person will take one stance (or one somewhere in the middle). Political parties generally derive their platforms from these, and therefor consider themselves different (even though they are all the same). For this reason, I think that we should have a stickied topic for each of the following: Birth control Capital punishment Censorship Communism Evolution Law Patriotism Reality of God Treatment of criminals War Church Foreign Policy Role of the individual Industrialization Political Violence Foreign Trade Trade Control Political Participation Levels of Sovereignty Change
I am a moderate (which means i am not liberal nor conservative), and I would like to share some beliefs with you all. 1) I am pro second amendment (gun rights) 2) Abortion is legal 3) I believe in stem cell research 4) Economic Stimulus is not going to work out in the long run, we must invest in American made goods and raise tariffs on foreign goods 5) Oil is not going to last forever, therefore we must invest in energy alternatives, or at least make changes that force Americans to become energy efficient (such as forcing homeowners to install solar panels) 6) Domestic data monitoring is not the correct thing to do! 7) The government its only supposed to protect you, not support you 8) If you really want to help your country out, join the military! 9) Illegal Immigrants should NOT reside in America
Personally i hate it. It never has or will do anything good for the U.S and dont give me "there are more then 2 parties" becuase in reality the other parties have no effect
What issues are you worried about right now? Depending on if your a Conservative or Liberal it would vary. CONSERVATIVES - believe in personal responsibility, limited government, free markets, individual liberty, traditional American values and a strong national defense. Believe the role of government should be to provide people the freedom necessary to pursue their own goals. Conservative policies generally emphasize empowerment of the individual to solve problems. LIBERALS - believe in governmental action to achieve equal opportunity and equality for all, and that it is the duty of the State to alleviate social ills and to protect civil liberties and individual and human rights. Believe the role of the government should be to guarantee that no one is in need. Believe that people are basically good. Liberal policies generally emphasize the need for the government to solve people's problems. Abortion Conservative Abortion Human life begins at conception. Abortion is the murder of a human being. Nobody has the right to murder a human being. Support legislation to prohibit partial birth abortions, called the "Partial Birth Abortion Ban" (partial birth abortion - the killing of an unborn baby of at least 20 weeks by pulling it out of the birth canal with forceps, but leaving the head inside. An incision is made in the back of the baby's neck and the brain tissue is suctioned out. The head is then removed from the uterus.) Liberal A fetus is not a human life. The decision to have an abortion is a personal choice of a woman regarding her own body and the government should stay out of it. Women should be guaranteed the right to a safe and legal abortion, including partial birth abortion. Death Penalty Conservative Death penalty The death penalty is a punishment
Did you conservatives actually like Bush?
My fellow conservatives, this image pissed me off.

ok so basically i wana see what people will think will happen to america on 2012 election so ya title says itself vote away
To this meeting between republicans and obama. (All the news sayin "itsa trap!" lol) Honestly Obama is just gonna call them out. Republicans get bad press, issue solved. Although i recognize the republican party is made up of mostly idiot protesters, anyone notice how the democrats had majority in house and senate, enough to pass w/e bill they wanted and nothing happened. WOOT! go democrats! Nothing gets done lol.
Please explain why you support him (this tricks the majority of obama supporters) Btw im talking about the president, not the user.
I was just wondering, for the 2008 election, who will be voting democratic and who will be voting republican

Whether you dont care one bit or do care and think that they just have petty arguments. Who thinks its a waste of time? thank me if u agree. or dont i really dont care.
Who do you want. Gay JACK LAYTON-Want CRIMINALS outs prison faster Stephen Harper-Builds more prisons and very protection based. Liberals-THE GUYS A FUCKING FRENCHIE Disscuss
HEY guys i just wanted to ask you Obama lovers Do you regret voting for him? i mean cmon! hes great look at one of his best works the health reform yay! or the time he covered up religious symbols like the most famous the CROSS omfg wat a christian man! and what a loving man he supports HAMAS: the group is dedicated to destruction of Isreal and to top it off he wanted to fund/facilitate abortions not just here but in the whole world using GUESS who's money?! bingo our tax money!! what a hell of a good guy........... LMFAO pshhh yea right
What are you and why?
Let me explain to you why. 1. Republicans. - Republicans are currently crying tears. Whatever point they have, whatever thing they have going for them, is just drowned by the sound of "Obama this" or "Obama that." Its getting to the point where it feels like the entire time they are still crying about how they lost to the democrats. -Now most Economist you run into lean towards the "conservative" side. Which is why almost every time i fucking here about a republican, its on Obama doing some wasteful spending or some shit. Problem is, they are just bitching in the end. 2. Democrats. -The Democrats campaign plan as of now is weak and pathetic. The only thing they have going for them atm is that some dipshit republicans make too much noise looking like idiots. Otherwise they really have little going for them on the campaign side. Obama's first campaign ad is awful and they haven't really done anything important or good for the country in the past few years despite having a majority in legislation. Obama: - I personally do not like Obama. First off, i highly disagree with his decisions as economically they have fucked us over and will continue to do so past his term. -BUT no matter my opinion on his policies, what you have to realize is that he didn't do anything he campaigned for. I see no reason to support a guy who won't even do what he stands for. Much less have him fuck over the economy even more. Example: I'm a politician. I campaign, have haters, have lovers. I win. Now I do what neither side wants, and do the exact opposite of what i campaigned for. Even on the most pathetic and easily done things. ---------------------------------------- I see no point in voting for Obama, and the republicans have literally no one that peaks my interest. And this is why politics sucks. Everyones a fucking asshole and everyone cries about shit that doesn't matter and waste my fucking money.
Anyone else realize how the republicans have only controlled congress for 6 out of the last 33 congresses (since 1950)? Like is it just me, or do they just screw up each time?
NDP/fmm Everyone else sucks. P.S. I'm talking in a Canadian perspective. Conservatives got Majority my arse/rage NDP is going to win though. Let's all argue about who is better. I'm leaving so
