Conservatives are trying hard to hold on to a country that never existed.
Liberals are trying hard to create a country that can never be.

Both sides are full of horse hockey and neither will agree on anything!

Conservatives are trying hard to hold on to a country that never existed. Liberals are trying hard to create a country that can never be. Here's my explanation Liberal- blame society for the behavior of each individual's and thier failures in life, no personal accountability, the government/ working class must take care of the people who refuse to work. Encourage Immoral lifestyle's, the government will protect you therefore you need no weapons. Conservatives- God fearing, God loving, Love America, personal choice, each person are accountable for THEIR own actions, not a societal problem. Work hard be successful. |

Liberal want to lower the Defense budget and increase welfare. Conservatives want to increase the Defense budget and lower the welfare.

Could you explain the "hold on to a country that never existed" part?

Conservatives want PERSONAL CHOICE?  LOL I'd describe myself as a conservative with a libertarian lean.. As long as it doesn't hurt someone else, I don't think it should be the governments role to stop you from doing it. Having said that, conservative policy has never limited any of MY personal choices. Liberal policies have affected me, from where I buy a gun, to where / when / how I can hunt, to if and where I get my health insurance, etc. Some places, the liberals don't even want to let you to decide how big of a soda you get. |

Sex. Drugs. Marriage. Religion.
Republicans are wrong on just about every social issue.
Democrats are wrong on just about every fiscal issue.

Agreed! I don't care if you wanna go shoot up or smoke or snort every drug known to man; in fact go for it and here's to hoping you remove yourself from society completely, just be courteous enough to not include innocent folks while doing so. And why is it my responsibility to pay for your abortions, birth control and illegitimate child's lunch? Same reason I voted NO to increase taxes here in Bartholomew County to pay for Pre-Kindergarten. This warm-fuzzy sense of entitlement has to stop in this country! |

You've been drinking the NEA Kool-Aide too long..I'm surprised you hunt animals...The NEA wouldn't approve. |

Republicans just try and tell you who you can marry, who you can have sex with, what religious symbols should be on public property, what substances you can ingest in your own home, and on and on and on.
oh, they also tell us the 4th amendment can be ignored in the name of "public safety".
Now who is drinking the kool-aid?

I might as well come out of the closet as the bleeding heart liberal that I am. Saw right through me! Dang! You are the first one smart enough to figure me out! |

You all are starting to get a little too personal. Stick to the subject and no personal stuff..
...and I hope when the reference was "you" that it was a generic "you".

In reality, I used to be a drinker of the Conservative Kool-Aid. Experiences and relationships have opened my eyes to other perspectives over the years. I see great fault in both the Conservative and Liberal platforms. If Conservatives would drop the No Child Left Behind garbage and drop some of the no-win social policies that drive so many potential voters away from them, and come to the realization that religion has no place in government, I'd gladly come back. I am a Christian, but don't want my faith to be tied in any way to my government. I personally abhor the idea of abortion for the sake of convenience but think that it should be between a woman, her family, and her doctor...not my business. Same goes for drugs. I think gays should be allowed to marry. It's not necessarily a traditional Christian marriage so I don't really see why it should be my business to stop two people from their pursuit of happiness I also have ALL SORTS of issues that bother me with the liberal agenda, gun control at the top of that list. Another huge problem is the health care debacle. My wife is a micro-biologist in a regional hospital and I have a lot of other health care professionals in my family...none of them have anything good to say about Obamacare. Yet, I maintain friendships with far right Conservatives AND far left Liberals. It's a pleasant side-effect of being an open-minded moderate.

I am simply amazed at the sheer amount of wind politicians can blow with their cranial regions completely immersed within their own anal orifice.

government is highly inefficient and grossly abusive of power. Why is it people go on about it? People don't go on about an apple being an apple.
What escapes most is the function of government and how it get the opportunity to do it.
Government is a necessary evil that saves the people from killing themselves out right. It's not governments fault that people refuse to do what's demanded of them and I'm not talking about voting in a booth or even being involved in politics as government was never meant to be the answer, just a deterrent, a regulator (away) of freedom when freedom is infringed. The fact that it is what it is is supposed to be further incentive for the people to do right. That isn't possible when people think it's the answer and they neglect the real answer.

Now who is drinking the kool-aid? Everyone not voting libertarian. It amazes me how people gripe n gripe about both sides.(justifiably)..but wont actually DO anything about it. The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over but expecting a different results. |

Conservatives, Repulican, Liberal and Democrat are all different. Can be similar but have differences. Republican and the Democrat parties, in my opinion just tell you, the voter, what you want to hear to get elected and then proceed with their own agenda anyway. Liberal and Conservative is more of a personal choice of a way one lives their own lives.

Everybody votes their pocketbook, can't help it ..... that is the way it is.
Once they've been in politics a while, there really isn't much difference between one side and the other. With few exceptions, most are self serving, out to do what's best for them and theirs.
