Ha Ha!!!! I laughed for 10 minutes when I saw this, its so true man, liberals never want to take responsibility. It would meen actually dealing with a problem that doesn't get them votes.
We should call Conservatives what they are. They say they are anti-Liberal and anti-Progressive. So we should call them anti-Freedom and anti-Progress. The reason why "Liberal" has such a negative connotation with voters is that the Republicans transformed it into a dirty word by associating it with bad things like Communism. Nice going assholes. Also, correct me if I'm wrong, but the Dems won Congress because they promised to try to end the war in Iraq, which the public diametrically opposes.
I am sorry who is anti Progresse? Liberals thats who. Sorry but Liberals can't deal with progressive economies. They want things to stay the way they are and when change comes a knocking that makes them uncomfortable they cry about Corporations. Some people are uncomfortable about social changes and some about economic ones. The difference is that government has little control over social change while they can have huge control over economic change. Making you more prone to totalitarianism.
The overall view of a conservative is not to change and the overall view of a liberal is to bring about change thats pretty much the basis of the parties... but thats just what i heard, probably ill informed facts from our awesome education system.
Yup, my teachers all told me the same things. It's kinda sick really, it's an attempt at shamless indoctrination and munipulation of young minds, because they are convinced that rather than letting kids find their own truths they must save them from "the lies," because they know "the truth." It's equivication, telling half truths in order to promote your cause, or your own ideals.
Conservative - root word is conserve, as in "to keep things they way they are." Traditionally, this was the point of view of people who had wealth and wanted to preserve the system that had made them wealthy.
Liberal - from the same root word as "liberty." Originally it was used by the poor and oppressed who wanted the "liberty" to live their own lives without being controlled by aristocrats and wealthy businessmen. Today, it seems to have a very different meaning in the USA.
When a new partie is introduced, so are their standards, or how they work in their group, or in other words ethics, if anyone would actually notice, no matter what ANYONE does, change happens, even if you tried as hard as possible, the parties THEMSELVES change, their way of general structure alters, their ethics change.
what someone said 200 years ago means nothing now,
Yep, democrats are awesome. Here are some of the outcomes of them being in control. Up: * Gasoline up from $2.19 to $3.35 or 53% * Unemployment up from 4.5% to 5% or 11.1% * National dept per ca pita was $27,677 then and now $31,551 or 14% higher. * Congressional pay increase. Down: * Consumer confidence at multiple year lows. * Equity value of mutual funds down $2.3 trillion. * Home equity values down $1.2 trillion * Congress's approval rating at all time low.
All of those things were in the midst of happening when the Democrats took over. And when they actually tried to pass legislation to assuage these situations, the president vetoed it.
The parties are always dynamic and their views shifting. I base my siding on the sides that parties take. I am a democrat because I want out of Iraq, I want abortion, and I want gay mariage, and taxation is necessary for the nation, especially with our 1.6 trillion dollar deficit. My goals lie within the democrat party, so I am a democrat.
That's exactly what I expect from a group of people who want to outlaw abortion, but deny the children healthcare. How whackadoo is that? Do any of you idiots think our country is any safer now??? Hey dumbasses.. the world hates us because of Bush's oil war. But god forbid blaming the spoiled doofus for any of that.
Not all conservatives want to "outlaw" abortion. They succeeded in outlawing partial birth abortion because there is no benefit to the mother from it. Plus, killing a baby in the third trimester is effectively murdering a living human being. I don't mind kiddies having healthcare, but I do mind if it's funded by tobacco taxes and given to "kids" who are 25 years old.
You know I hate those terms, liberal and conservation. They are nothing more than thin veils that politicians hid behind in order to win votes and make themselves look good or bad, or make the other guy look bad. All politicians are just in the pockets of the wealthy. The only good ones are the ones that step beyond those titles and see that they are Americans, and the only agenda they should be pushing is the betterment of American.
I don't know maybe things like getting the nation out of its multi-trillion dollar debt. Maybe increase the amount of work in the US and reduce our trade defect as well as lower our dependency on foreign countries for all of our manufactured goods. And the Democrats are not the only party that is wrought with scandals and corruption. So before you go making baseless assumptions why not look up the facts.
Martin Luther King, Jr. was a Christian Socialist almost, befriended many liberals, but a Christian as well.
Now, dubdub01, none of them were really liberal, infact, none at all were liberal. JFK was in a sense, however, I think you're confusing liberal with revolutionary dubdub01. I'm not conservative or liberal, I'm in the middle, split on issues. Either way, the video is funny, the other though... funnier.
wtf does it matter i made my point didnt I? Democrats in the old days are nothing like the ones we have now. These democrats we have now are backstabbers and liars. And also that part about the "progressive" term and the voters and such. I swear to god i heard hillary clinton say that last night on the CNN democratic debate. She said "I prefer the term progressive instead of liberal"
um DUBDUB judging by all the people you just mentioned...if you would actually do some research you would see that most of those people would be conservative. Im sure none of them would support abortion and i dont ever remember roosevelt waving the white flag in the middle of a war and i believe martin luther king was a christian. Dont even try to call the liberals christian lol. Democrats have changed since world war 2. Time for you to wake up bud.
Yeah! Liberals Suck! I hate liberals, You know, like Rosa Parks, Martin Luther King Jr. Thomas Jefferson, Gearge Washington, Abraham Lincoln, The Roosevelts, The Pilgrims, Anyone who fought in the American Revolution, JFK, The Little Rock 9... you know, those people
You're horrible at sarcasm. Just quit. Lincoln was Republican. The Roosevelts were Democratic. That doesn't mean they were liberal. Rosa P. and the Little Rock 9 had no party affiliation and were not political, just controversal. The pilgrims are hated by liberals for "destroyed a race of people". The soldiers in the American Revolution had no party affiliation either. You SERIOUSLY need a history lesson. I also hope you're not 19 because if you are, that's pathetic.
I know. I consider Teddy a more of a Democrat though then a Republican, or RINO, if you will (Republican In Name Only). FDR was a solid Democrat and should not be given credit for getting us out of the depression (he made it worse with government interference).
look natinal security is the best thing the bush administration did but at any time the liberals where saying very similar things in this department to the republicans its not just something new
Politics in America is pathetic. All you guys can do is split in two camps and start insulting each other with personal attacks.
Consider my country, the Netherlands. Our population is 5% of yours, and we already have 10 political parties in parliament. That's right: TEN!! And our debates are actually about SOMETHING, rather than this horse-shit you see over here. Concerning politics, you guys definitely need to get a life...and that goes to BOTH liberals and conservatives. Losers.
NO shit! People make mistakes. He won the election in 2000 and 2004 so he got the popular vote. Your probably the majority of America, fat, lazy, and retarded.
conservative means the exact opposite of progressive it means to keep everything the way it is. TO CONSERVE. NAZI'S are conservatives, they want the old ways. Damn conservatives you can stay in the 20th Century!
The term 'conservative' comes from the ancient Roman word "conservus" - to protect. To protect the basic values of society and culture (like freedom and human rights), to look back at history, draw inspiration from its triumphs and learn from its mistakes. I believe it's a much better way the Communist proposed "burn the old and build the new from the ashes", look where it has brought them.
Why not simplify your answer. Conservus-to protect. What is to be protected is not specified. Protecting old traditions and hindering new progressive developments could be one of them. But don't take my comments personally. I just hate that someone does a bad job trying to explain progressive and doesn't bother to be equal about in and describe conservative.
Conservatism and liberalism are what we make of it. Conservatism can be as harsh as fascism (and worse) or it can be a historically conscious, law-abiding, free and modern society. Liberalism can be an equal and open-to-all communal society and it can also be a blood-thirsty repressive communist regime or a lawless Anarchy where you do [and kill] what you want. It's up to the people to better their world, no matter what political affiliation they share.
It's hard not to take personally a comment that actually says "I don't like your opinion, you should be quarantined from society". I always regarded liberals of all kinds as accepting, open to debate and un-judging and I'm trying to follow these qualities myself. I don't see how a call for a segregation based on political affiliation is liberal. Truth to be told, it's damn against those freedoms (like freedom of though) that I want to protect so we all can enjoy it.
As for the Nazi's and such, they are right wing extremists to be sure. Condemned and shunned by all conservatives in their right mind. Much like the left wing Anarchists and Communists (is some places). Personally I've yet to meet with someone who openly identifies himself with left wing Anarchists, they are no better then Nazi's. Or would you argue that Baader Mainhof and the like are first class civil rights protectors?
Uh, the dems promised to withdraw the troops. So why haven't they? They can kill the funding which ends the war. Why are they NOT voting to kill the funding? I thought it was the will of the people! Why did they LOSE 14-80 in the house??
Lame and pathetic. It's the same old meaningless Republican talking point being kicked around, except they put it on youtube. There's nothing funny about it. In actuality, Dems never pretended to be "conservative" on natioanl security issues, they promised to withdraw the troops. So get your facts straight. You lost because America isn't conservative.
You see, America is neither Conservative nor Liberal. Thats whats good about this great nation. It's Nazi-Liberals like you who want ONLY liberal ideas and to round up all conservatives. You see, I lean Right. But, I accept other opinions and have Liberal friends. One day, you will see that not everyone thinks like you.
