I love these programs of study, but I do not know if they will really help me in my career goals. I am really looking for a degree that is versatile and will help me in a number of occupations. My main intrests are writing, persuading, business planning, and design. I love to work with people, but I also like to lead a group. I currently work as a sales manager, but I hate the office politics. I also dislike math and stressfull work envoirments. If anyone has any idea what program would be right for me, please let me know. I am open to any suggestions you might have! Thank you!What career path does a BS in Liberal Arts or Communications prepare you for?
I spent twenty-year years working at the University of California and one thing I told students was to pick a major they enjoyed. There is a misconception that in order to be a doctor you have to take nothing but courses related to medicine. Not true. There are people in medical school who have bachelor's degrees in all different fields. For example, should you decide during you BS degree that medicine is where you want to be, you start taking the preparatory courses. My biggest pain were parents who insisted their children take degree programs in which they sucked. If you can't do Math, then an accounting degree is a poor choice. You aren't likely to succeed. *smile*. There is no limit to what you can achieve with a BS in Liberal Arts or Communication because you can always add courses to prepare you for another avenue should you so decide. I had students who were shocked to learn that Sociology degrees would help them in Law Enforcement. Hope this was helpful.What career path does a BS in Liberal Arts or Communications prepare you for?
Take all the writing courses you can without becoming an English major. Too many people do not write well and if you can write well you will find a wealth of opportunities in many fields.
You also have to figure out what you value--do you want a lot of money or is a flexible schedule more important? Do you want to move up the corporate ladder or do you get your warm fuzzies from teaching people how and why to do something?
Liberal arts can prepare you for a teaching career, and Communications can prepare you for a career in broadcasting or public relations.
Teaching primarily for Lib Arts, Communications is much broader. If you're interested in people --- might want to try some humanities/social services courses.

Will liberal hollywood actors donate 1/2 their salaries to get America back on track?
I say liberal because they are the ones always ranting about evil capitialism....Do you think they will still wear million dollar necklaces tonight and drive to the red carpet in their hybrids?Will liberal hollywood actors donate 1/2 their salaries to get America back on track?
Oh you know, they are above the little people. like the tax evading democrat ruling class who somehow always manage to get rich far beyond their salaries.Will liberal hollywood actors donate 1/2 their salaries to get America back on track?
No, they won't. They lament about the evils of poverty..yet, none of them even have a clue as to what it's like to live paycheck to paycheck. They know what they saw on TV or in a movie...yet they are too dumb to know that it's a SCRIPT and portrayed often in the way that Hollywood would like to shape opinions. As for the red carpet? Not watching the trash. It's a lovefest for them to pat each other on the back and get billion dollar goody bags from companies. It's a joke, and if they were serious in their rhetoric, they would do the awards privately, and then show the highlights. Not spend millions to parade around in expensive outfits and congratulate themselves. Be like the rest of us....don't watch movies or listen to artists who go out and actively try to shame Americans based on their political beliefs. They are paid to act, not be an activist. And paid EXTREMELY well...how hard is it to stick to the job duties with such a huge compensation package? People like to think this method of boycotting doesn't work...but exhibit 1: Rosie O'Donnell. The woman was pretty funny and entertaining at one time....then one day she announces she is a gay woman. (whooooaaaa really Rosie? ) Next thing you know, every sentence starts with ';As a gay woman....'; Then she gets on The View and starts spouting pure nonsense. She was so high and mighty on herself..she thought she was untouchable. Go figure. She is going nowhere now. Now we have the model, let's all follow.
I always find it funny that people demonstrate against fat-cat business leaders earning 'obscene' salaries and bonuses, but you never hear about people protesting about football players or movie stars equally large paychecks.
I assume it's because people perceive value from football games and movies and they don't from business, largely because they don't understand what business does, or what the leaders of business do.
For instance, an actor makes a terrible film that dies at the box office. No-one's demanding that he gives his fee back to the people. But those same people are demanding that Wall Street tycoons who similarly fail at their jobs, should no longer have bonuses or large salaries. It's complete hypocrisy and shows the double standards of most of the population.
When are you going to get it in that skull of yours that Hollywood libs only want to donate half of everybody else's salaries to get America on the socialist track. They plan to sit safely in their gated compounds, jet set in their private planes and hide their money in offshore tax shelters
Of course they will, actors and stuff just pose, they never do what they say. They always talk about the economy and how they'll help or donate to charities, but of course the majority don't. There are the occasional celebrities who do help. So in my opinion i dont think they will.
Right! They voted for Obama because they knew they would receive perks from him just like they did with Clinton. Jumping on beds in the White House when they get sleep overs. Like 10 year olds with no respect.
Then they can also get their own pet projects moved to the forefront. We know now that Obama loves pet projects. It just irritates me that they also speak out of the side of their mouth promoting green living while they have all those huge homes, fly in jets, drink bottled water, have tour buses, etc.
Also remember that many of them didn't even graduate from high school. They are just not very bright to begin with. Not all, some are very intelligent but if you listen to most of them speak, they have no clue as to how stupid they sound. Like Pink making that campaign commercial for Obama. She said she knew a lot about politics because her father had been in the military! LOL
I think Oprah needs to jump on that and get all her fave movie stars to jump with her. She dumped enough money into his campaign....how bout dumping some of it to ';our failing economy'; I can't believe all these free thinkers and freedom lovers really want a socialistic society. Of course, it wont affect them, so why not?
If you dont act like a liberal in Hollywood, you get no work, exceptions are Bruce Willis, Tom Selleck.
The rest are good at talking the talk, and have no ';skin'; in the game.
no liberals don't do that. they love money and they love to pretend they care about the less fortunate. the only way to stop this is to stop going to the movies and stop watching tv.
Of course not; they talk a good game but they want us to shoulder the burden instead of them. I mean, of course they won't donate 1/2 their salaries. As to the rest, who knows.
They could care less. They can ';write off'; their entire lifestyle as a business expense.....everything from clothing to their personal security.
Yes but then that means anyone who makes more then a million $ a year would have to also pay 1/2 their salaries!
I can hear you cons crying already!
Well said. Why don't they sell their stuff and give it to people to pay their delinquent mortgages? Why don't they donate millions for infrastructure projects?
No, they will be doing more trips out of the country to hide what they have. The Hollywood elite are quite the biggest hypocrites around.
You are right. I think that they should start with Oprah and the Scientologists with jets.
It's only fair that they should, right?
If Hollywood thinks Obama is so great, then they should put out.
actors are all hypocrites. don't pay any attention to them. we have one running Cal. and look how well he did.
Not if it means they can't afford their private jet anymore.
Don鈥檛 hold your breath on that one.
You're funny --- stop it --- I can't stop laughing.
Just like those Marxist professors who make $200,000 annually. Hypocrites!
A liberal will gladly give you the shirt...off of someone elses back.
No, because they are more equal than us.
Nope.
They are spending their money on jets and escalades.
Please tell me you're kidding, because my stomach is killing me from laughing so hard.
What a hoot!
Hell no, they would never give up their money. Yes they will Style and profile
Maybe Rush should make a point to role model and see who follows suit.
No why should they? GET OUT THERE AND MAKE YOUR OWN MONEY BUDDIE!!!!

What is the difference between a Real Liberal and the FrankenLiberal Monster that Conservatives have created?
I know I will get some trolling in here, but I would like to see how other Liberals see themselves as different from this big, scary, Liberal Monster that we have been accused of being.What is the difference between a Real Liberal and the FrankenLiberal Monster that Conservatives have created?
Frankenliberals are the ones that come bashing down your door to ';redistribute the wealth.'; They are also induct your sons into the gay lifestyle, and pickpocket foetuses from your womb.What is the difference between a Real Liberal and the FrankenLiberal Monster that Conservatives have created?
People are afraid of us? They shouldn't be, all we ever do is try to help people. Ever.
There are no accusations, only revelations!
What do I know, I am just a racist concervative, a white one at that, the worse kind.
As an attorney who worked very hard to get Al Franken in the Senate, both on the election and during the recount, your question ';FrankenLiberal Monster'; makes virtually no sense.
In his brief period in the Senate Al Franken has already gotten one important piece of legislation passed, which was an amendment to the Defense Appropriation Bill, which required employees of Defense Contractors to arbitrate claims, rather than litigate them.
Conservatives didn't create Al Franken.
No difference. You just changed the name so the truth seems untrue.
It is a very common liberal tactic to twist things around and distort the truth. But nice try any way.
Edit: See there you go. You got answers that were respectful but chose to twist things up and call us trolls. Thanks for proving my point.
Edit: I know shame on me. I forgot that anyone who disagrees with liberal dogma is a troll,racist,sexist,uneducated,unevolved鈥?etc etc.
Please tell me that you libs really aren't so emotional that you found offense in an honest answer.Electric Bicycle

What is the advanatge of being a liberal over a conservative?
I am a conservative and I don't support the Iraq War. Gun Control is for wussies for who are afraid of guns, abortion kills babies because their mother was irresponsible and most likely a worthless, fithy prostitute, national health care raises taxes, and marriage is between a man and woman, not 2 men. I cannot see wy anyone besides the poor and mentally ill would want to be a liberal. The only good thing they are for is labor unions.What is the advanatge of being a liberal over a conservative?
A few more brain cells...What is the advanatge of being a liberal over a conservative?
It's socially accepted to sin when you're a liberal. Perhaps, you should change your ways?
Being liberal enables one to actually think for yourself and use the brain God gave you. Being conservative means living in a ridiculous little cartoon fantasy world and chirping mindless slogans in lieu of actual ideas, as your post and the conservatives' attempts at a response proves.
There is no advantage one way or the other. Everyone of us is liberal or conservative depending on the issue at hand.
I don't drink or smoke and consider those things to be a vice. I also don't gamble and was raised to think that that was a vice as well.
But I certainly don't support the creation of laws making it illegal for folks to engage in those activies. As a liberal I don't believe it's the government's role to legislate individual morality.
And on the other hand I love movies with lots of gratuitous sex and violence. Not really a conservative value.
I don't sit around and think a lot about gun control, but I do think the use of bullets which can penetrate a policeman's bulltet proof vest should be illegal. Does that make me a liberal, because I think a policeman's safety is more important than the average joe having access to that kind of ammunition?? I don't view guns as adult toys. They are a deadly serious right that Americans possess and clearly abuse to the detriment of us all.
Abortion....I don't presume to judge anyone who has been in that situation. The women I know who have had abortions are today loving mothers and interestingly all Born Again Christians. A far cry from your description of such women.
I am with you where marriage is concerned. Man and woman should carry the day. But gay couples should have the rights to civil unions. I don't agree with their lifestyle at all, but they have every right to practice it with other consenting adults.
And Labor Unions....they don't have any friends in Washington from what I have seen. Jobs are leaving this nation at record rates...American Labor better start flexing its muscles before it's too late. And why is it a Liberal Value to support the American working man and woman. Am I supposed to support the white collar schmoes who make money doing nothing but selling the future of this country to China, Vietnam, Korea, etc.... is that a conservative value?? I don't think so. We all care about the American worker.
Poor and mentally ill...well let's just say they need our help and am I to believe that conservatives don't care about them??? Again...I believe the average conservative and the average liberal care about their fellow Americans....we are after all...all of us Americans.
The best answer was given by Romanes on Yahoo Answers. I will quote it in its entirety:
';A DAY IN THE LIFE OF JOE REPUBLICAN';
Joe gets up at 6 a.m. and fills his coffeepot with water to prepare his morning coffee. The water is clean and good because some liberal fought for minimum water-quality standards. With his first swallow of water, he takes his daily medication. His medications are safe to take because some liberal fought to ensure their safety and that they work as advertised.
All but $10 of his medications are paid for by his employer's medical plan because some liberal union workers fought their employers for paid medical insurance - now Joe gets it too.
He prepares his morning breakfast, bacon and eggs. Joe's bacon is safe to eat because some liberal fought for laws to regulate the meat packing industry.
In the morning shower, Joe reaches for his shampoo. His bottle is properly labeled with each ingredient and its amount in the total contents because some liberal fought for his right to know what he was putting on his body and how much it contained.
Joe dresses, walks outside and takes a deep breath. The air he breathes is clean because some liberal fought for the laws to stop industries from polluting our air.
He walks on the government-provided sidewalk to the subway station for his government-subsidized ride to work. It saves him considerable money in parking and transportation fees because some liberal fought for affordable public transportation, which gives everyone the opportunity to be a contributor.
Joe begins his work day. He has a good job with excellent pay, medical benefits, retirement, paid holidays and vacation because some liberal union members fought and died for these working standards. Joe's employer pays these standards because Joe's employer doesn't want his employees to call the union.
If Joe is hurt on the job or becomes unemployed, he'll get a worker compensation or unemployment check because some liberal didn't think he should lose his home because of his temporary misfortune.
It is noontime and Joe needs to make a bank deposit so he can pay some bills. Joe's deposit is federally insured by the FSLIC because some liberal wanted to protect Joe's money from unscrupulous bankers who ruined the banking system before the Great Depression.
Joe has to pay his Fannie Mae-underwritten mortgage and his below-market federal student loan because some liberal decided that Joe and the government would be better off if he was educated and earned more money over his lifetime. Joe also forgets that his in addition to his federally subsidized student loans, he attended a state funded university.
Joe is home from work. He plans to visit his father this evening at his farm home in the country. He gets in his car for the drive. His car is among the safest in the world because some liberal fought for car safety standards to go along with the tax-payer funded roads.
He arrives at his boyhood home. His was the third generation to live in the house financed by Farmers' Home Administration because bankers didn't want to make rural loans.
The house didn't have electricity until some liberal stuck his nose where it didn't belong and demanded rural electrification.
He is happy to see his father, who is now retired. His father lives on Social Security and a union pension because some liberal made sure he could take care of himself so Joe wouldn't have to.
Joe gets back in his car for the ride home, and turns on a radio talk show. The radio host keeps saying that liberals are bad and conservatives are good. He doesn't mention that the beloved Republicans have fought against every protection and benefit Joe enjoys throughout his day. Joe agrees: ';We don't need those big-government liberals ruining our lives! After all, I'm a self-made man who believes everyone should take care of themselves, just like I have.';
What is the advantage in being a conservative? There isn't any advantage to either side. it's simply what you believe.
Okay, I take that back. There is one advantage to being a liberal- Facts support your arguments more. However, conservitives have an advantage in that the arguments they make may not be factual, but they appeal to the emotional side of people.
See healthcare for a prime example. If you work out the math on universal healthcare, it winds up costing the average person less even with the increase in taxes it would require, but ';They'll have to raise taxes'; gets emotions running high.
It's not an ';advantage / disadvantage'; thing.
They are two different social and political philosophies, each of which has some things that it values more than others.
You oppose gun control, because you think the govt should not be regulating what you do if you're not harming anyone else -- that's the liberal perspective -- that the govt should not be regulating conduct or telling you what you should do.
You oppose abortion, which is fine. But you want to tell people what they should do -- just like some people want to dictate what you can do with your guns -- both are attempts to assert control. And you want to tell people who they can get married to -- which is about you wanting to control them because you don't like their choices.
But you're wrong about your examples of liberals. Liberals oppose socialism and socialized medicine. Because liberals oppose govt control.
It's odd that you favor govt control in areas of personal life, but oppose govt control in other areas -- seems inconsistent.
The best part of being a liberal is never having to accept personal responsibility for your actions.
Oh, and situational memory
Bingo. The biggest advantage to being a liberal, (I used to be very liberal in college) is that you don't really have to know what you are talking about, and can spout off based on emotions alone.
Being liberal or conservative shouldn't be a definition tthat you place on yourself. You don't have to believe in a certain set of ideas and give yourself a label. Liberalism and conservatism are just ways to describe degrees of political reform (liberal means wanting change conservative means wanting to keep things the way they are) The definitions of these terms have been misconstrued by the media, and as a result people aren't aware of their true meaning.
That's funny, the conservatives say the liberals ask for too much and then the cons pay for it. Really? Does that include the airline industry bailout, or the very recent subsidy to the finance industry? What about the Iraq war? Our president decided to cut taxes so that future generations will pay for it. Cons are full of BS, only they believe it.
Less stress.
As a liberal you think the world's on your side and no one is going to harm you. You won't be stressed until they shoot you in the back and by then you have a few minutes to live.
Dude like you have to be cool so being liberal is cool um like you get to hang out with hollywood types unless your poor then they dont even want you near them. Umm ok what else you get to blame other people for the stuff you do thats always cool. You get to say raising other peoples taxes (not your own) is the way to save America. You get to call people who want secure borders all kinds of cool names with not a shred to back it up : names like
Xenephobe
Nativist
Racist
Bigot
American (the up and comming new slur to call someone)
So umm (hang on im toking up) lol
ha ha ha ha ha
huh wait what was I saying oh yeah so like you get stuff paid for and you dont have to pay for it how cool is that
LOL I sure hope you see the sarcasm
Well, that's a little harsh! One advantage of being a liber is we can sleep at night. We seem to be considerably more tolerant of others who are different in appearance, life style, opinions, well, tolerant of others, different or not. Having a live %26amp; let live attitude makes for a much happier life in general. It feels better as a liberal to help people in need, than to be a hard *** concerned only with the bottom line--and keeping people ';inline'; with the way THEY (the conservatives) think we should all live, believe, and any other thing the cons want to control--what's with the control issues conservative.
i think it's good to be both because it means your open minded but you still have a idea of what is right and wrong.
The advantage of being a liberal is, college professor types will validate you as intelligent and caring if you adopt the ideology. If any of them ever pay attention to whether or not the social programs solve any problems, they'd have to admit to being completely ineffective, but well intentioned.
Liberals have chemical imbalances
As a liberal you ask for everything
As a conservative you get to pay for it all...........lol
Liberals can make dirty jokes about Israel's dogs = H. Clinton
While Conservatives are the dogs in the GOP

If Joe is hurt on the job or becomes unemployed, he'll get a worker compensation or unemployment check because some liberal didn't think he should lose his home because of his temporary misfortune.
It is noontime and Joe needs to make a bank deposit so he can pay some bills. Joe's deposit is federally insured by the FSLIC because some liberal wanted to protect Joe's money from unscrupulous bankers who ruined the banking system before the Great Depression.
Joe has to pay his Fannie Mae-underwritten mortgage and his below-market federal student loan because some liberal decided that Joe and the government would be better off if he was educated and earned more money over his lifetime. Joe also forgets that his in addition to his federally subsidized student loans, he attended a state funded university.
Joe is home from work. He plans to visit his father this evening at his farm home in the country. He gets in his car for the drive. His car is among the safest in the world because some liberal fought for car safety standards to go along with the tax-payer funded roads.
He arrives at his boyhood home. His was the third generation to live in the house financed by Farmers' Home Administration because bankers didn't want to make rural loans.
The house didn't have electricity until some liberal stuck his nose where it didn't belong and demanded rural electrification.
He is happy to see his father, who is now retired. His father lives on Social Security and a union pension because some liberal made sure he could take care of himself so Joe wouldn't have to.
Joe gets back in his car for the ride home, and turns on a radio talk show. The radio host keeps saying that liberals are bad and conservatives are good. He doesn't mention that the beloved Republicans have fought against every protection and benefit Joe enjoys throughout his day. Joe agrees: ';We don't need those big-government liberals ruining our lives! After all, I'm a self-made man who believes everyone should take care of themselves, just like I have.';
What is the advantage in being a conservative? There isn't any advantage to either side. it's simply what you believe.
Okay, I take that back. There is one advantage to being a liberal- Facts support your arguments more. However, conservitives have an advantage in that the arguments they make may not be factual, but they appeal to the emotional side of people.
See healthcare for a prime example. If you work out the math on universal healthcare, it winds up costing the average person less even with the increase in taxes it would require, but ';They'll have to raise taxes'; gets emotions running high.
It's not an ';advantage / disadvantage'; thing.
They are two different social and political philosophies, each of which has some things that it values more than others.
You oppose gun control, because you think the govt should not be regulating what you do if you're not harming anyone else -- that's the liberal perspective -- that the govt should not be regulating conduct or telling you what you should do.
You oppose abortion, which is fine. But you want to tell people what they should do -- just like some people want to dictate what you can do with your guns -- both are attempts to assert control. And you want to tell people who they can get married to -- which is about you wanting to control them because you don't like their choices.
But you're wrong about your examples of liberals. Liberals oppose socialism and socialized medicine. Because liberals oppose govt control.
It's odd that you favor govt control in areas of personal life, but oppose govt control in other areas -- seems inconsistent.
The best part of being a liberal is never having to accept personal responsibility for your actions.
Oh, and situational memory
Bingo. The biggest advantage to being a liberal, (I used to be very liberal in college) is that you don't really have to know what you are talking about, and can spout off based on emotions alone.
Being liberal or conservative shouldn't be a definition tthat you place on yourself. You don't have to believe in a certain set of ideas and give yourself a label. Liberalism and conservatism are just ways to describe degrees of political reform (liberal means wanting change conservative means wanting to keep things the way they are) The definitions of these terms have been misconstrued by the media, and as a result people aren't aware of their true meaning.
That's funny, the conservatives say the liberals ask for too much and then the cons pay for it. Really? Does that include the airline industry bailout, or the very recent subsidy to the finance industry? What about the Iraq war? Our president decided to cut taxes so that future generations will pay for it. Cons are full of BS, only they believe it.
Less stress.
As a liberal you think the world's on your side and no one is going to harm you. You won't be stressed until they shoot you in the back and by then you have a few minutes to live.
Dude like you have to be cool so being liberal is cool um like you get to hang out with hollywood types unless your poor then they dont even want you near them. Umm ok what else you get to blame other people for the stuff you do thats always cool. You get to say raising other peoples taxes (not your own) is the way to save America. You get to call people who want secure borders all kinds of cool names with not a shred to back it up : names like
Xenephobe
Nativist
Racist
Bigot
American (the up and comming new slur to call someone)
So umm (hang on im toking up) lol
ha ha ha ha ha
huh wait what was I saying oh yeah so like you get stuff paid for and you dont have to pay for it how cool is that
LOL I sure hope you see the sarcasm
Well, that's a little harsh! One advantage of being a liber is we can sleep at night. We seem to be considerably more tolerant of others who are different in appearance, life style, opinions, well, tolerant of others, different or not. Having a live %26amp; let live attitude makes for a much happier life in general. It feels better as a liberal to help people in need, than to be a hard *** concerned only with the bottom line--and keeping people ';inline'; with the way THEY (the conservatives) think we should all live, believe, and any other thing the cons want to control--what's with the control issues conservative.
i think it's good to be both because it means your open minded but you still have a idea of what is right and wrong.
The advantage of being a liberal is, college professor types will validate you as intelligent and caring if you adopt the ideology. If any of them ever pay attention to whether or not the social programs solve any problems, they'd have to admit to being completely ineffective, but well intentioned.
Liberals have chemical imbalances
As a liberal you ask for everything
As a conservative you get to pay for it all...........lol
Liberals can make dirty jokes about Israel's dogs = H. Clinton
While Conservatives are the dogs in the GOP
What should I do if my (very) conservative Grandpa offends me by saying my Liberal ways are wrong?
I just recived an e-mail from him and it makes Liberals look extremely bad in a biased way. I found it really offensive and want this to stop, but i don't want to be offensive! Help!!!What should I do if my (very) conservative Grandpa offends me by saying my Liberal ways are wrong?
Grandpa is wiseWhat should I do if my (very) conservative Grandpa offends me by saying my Liberal ways are wrong?
I used to get those emails from people who were trying to get a reaction out of me. I just ignore them and go about my business.
A lot of people are turned off by Conservative philosophy because of the messenger.
The media presents Liberal ideas as oh-so-progressive and enlightened. However, a truly savvy person will see through this charade and realize that Liberalism is a massively flawed point of view.
Here's a challenge: you post just three points where your grandfather says you are in error, or post three of your liberal ideas you think are irrefutable, and I will show you where you are wrong, if indeed your ideas are wrong.
By the way, have you ever had a real, in-depth conversation with your grandfather about politics? If you want the emails to stop voluntarily, you could try sitting down with him, and if you are so entrenched in your Liberal dogma that he sees there is no hope, he may give up, leaving you off the hook.
Since this is your grandpa, it's best to just delete the email, ignore it and forget about it. He loves you and he thinks he's doing the right thing. Many of us have conservatives in our families, and we just don't get into political discussions with them. You are very unlikely to change his mind no matter what proof you could give him... but you are quite likely to anger him if you try to discuss politics with him. So for everyone's sake, just delete it and don't give it a second thought. There are probably others in your life who would welcome your wisdom. Spend your time on them.

Here is something that Liberals aren't very familiar with. . . Allow him to have an opinion that is different from yours. Maybe he has more experience than you do and you should listen to him.
If he loves you he will respect your views. If not, he won't live forever.
You could try to avoid political conversations with him. Also, there is a book called ';How to Talk to a Liberal (If You Must)'; by Ann Coulter that you could buy him.
Discuss politics with him, defend your views.
He is entitled to his opinion. If you are 18 years of age or older then you are free to disregard his opinion.
If people telling you that liberal ways are wrong or that your ways are wrong then you are going to spend a lot of your life worrying about what someone else is saying.
If your opinions and ways are based only on what you feel or what you have heard, then they could very well *be* wrong. Do your own research and come to your own conclusions. Once you do that, you may freely defend your decisions.
Just tell him you have decided to convert and are praying that the socialist programs of social security and medicare will be abolished.
Just ignore it, and if he presses you, say you disagree. You should hear some of the crap my dad says.
Listen and learn from your grandpa.
Truth hurts ya honey, deal with it.
Listen and learn. He's right.
Your grandpa is quite the controller - which, of course, connotation is conservative. Keep a distance, but hold your tongue.
Whine like a little *****, as usual
You should listen to your grandpa, he'll put you on the right road to success. You'll never be on welfare, and you'll grow up without total strangers taking care of you.
Have some respect for your pep-pep!
You let your pep-pep be a fascist
and you let Granny Nanny smoke her Pall Malls
because you haven't lived long enough or paid enough taxes to have an opinion, missy!
Tell him conservatives are full of shi4 and you hope he doesn't start hanging out with any of them
';What should I do if my (very) conservative Grandpa offends me by saying my Liberal ways are wrong?';
Support Obamacare. That'll fix his wagon the next time he tries to seek treatment for any ailment. Though, that would be cruel.
He's right and you're just a kid. You'll grow up though. Hopefully.
Be respectful. He has lived longer than you, he might have a point. Try listening to him.
You should try talking to him. Basically indicate you don't want to be like him. And show how much it bothers you. He's making you look wrong so in essence make him look wrong with some emotional blackmail.
Or sing Whatever by Oasis.
But in all seriousness you shouldn't have to put up with this.
now you know how he feels when you say conservatives are wrong..........
Your grandfather has lived a long time and has learned many things, you should listen to him, he knows what he's talking about.
Block his emails and tell him you'll only unblock him if he does not send any more political emails.
don't get mad at your grandpa for telling you the truth. respect your elders, they are usually right. in this case, he coundn't be more right
Listen to your Grandpa Jay. He's seen it all, done it all. He probably started out in life a lot like you.
E-mail back and tell him that old age has calcified his brain cells and that the conservatism is the first sign of either senility or Alzheimers. point to Rush Limbaugh as the perfe4ct example of talking without knowing anything.
Actually, just send back a polite e-mail telling your grandfather he is entitled to his views, but that you disagree with him and that you would prefer to leave politics out of any future conversations or e-mails. If he does not agree, then block his e-mails.
lol
You have a Great man as your Grandpa
Jay...you want to know the truth...
It's hard for a woman to except the woes of her past as she get older. Better listen to your Grandpa. I don't say this to hurt you...but the truth must be told.
for your sake.
You can call me the Bad Cop...
but you will never know me...so it doesn't matter.
But you will have to live with yourself. Learn from others...
it is better to be offended by me...while being educated...then not to be offended and live with a mistake for the rest of your life.
oh
and I was a Liberal once...and then woke up to reality.
Thank God I did...I never wanted to be that ignorant again.

What are the most conservative and most liberal US cities?
I live by Seattle, and know that is liberal, but I was just wondering what major US were the most liberal and most conservative?What are the most conservative and most liberal US cities?
Most conservative I would guess Salt Lake City.
Most liberal....San Francisco.What are the most conservative and most liberal US cities?
The most liberal city is San Francisco, CA
The most conservative city has to be probably Anaheim, CA
And I do dispute Salt Lake City because they have 1 Democratic congressman
Most Radical Liberal: San Francisco
Highest Percent Liberal: Detroit.
Conservative is hard to say.
Most liberal - Chicago %26amp; Detroit (ironically the most corrupt).
Most conservative - Dallas %26amp; Phoenix.
liberal= Seattle, WA
conservative= Boise, ID
why do you left wing types need categories so badly? Does it make life easier for you to have everything nicely packaged?
I agree with hank

How is life in the most leftist liberal part of the US?
What place would you say that is?How is life in the most leftist liberal part of the US?
Hollywood, California.

Madison, Wisconsin.

New York City.
East Los Angeles.
Chicago.
Boston, MA
What's your point?
The true patriot is an informed voter.How is life in the most leftist liberal part of the US?
Seattle. I was there for the first time in June and while it is a beautiful city and booming in on going building, I got the shock of my life. A group of us went walking to the Space needle from Bell St and a group of about 100 to 150 people approached on bicycles - naked. I mean completely naked. They had on body paint that it was evident they had applied themselves because several very conspicuous parts were missing paint. I was completely astonished that this must be legal because one guy was lagging about a block behind and a Seattle police officer told him he needed to hurry up before he lost his group completely. If that ain't liberal, I don't know what is. And the entire city was in open support of Obama. So I guess if he gets elected, with followers like the ones I saw and met in Seattle, we can forget the fashion district in NYC - except for maybe winter fashion. The rest of the time we can just all run around naked.And it completely diminishes the controversy on bagging pants. (NOT!!)
I'm in the south, and it has traditionally been republican. But you should see the amount of Obama supporters here- they are everywhere, way more than in previous elections- it is great and I am so pleasantly surprised!!
Chicago or San Fran has to be the most liberal though!
My cousin lives in Upstate New York, small town...apparently, it's crazy liberal. They have reliable public transit, an elaborate recycling system and everyone says ';hello'; to each other. Kinda creepy really..
And yes, they pay higher than average taxes for all of that.
left coast. life is great, thanks for asking. most libral part of the US? gotta be Bay Area and Seattle; maybe Portland.
on second thought, anything north of Santa Cruz; the west coast.
yes oh boy, he means bellingham.
There are two sides... there are the rich liberals and the poor liberals Detroit, Cleveland, Oakland, New Orleans, most of Atlanta, etc.
It depends if you are born into money or not.
New York City. They actually have Republicans who are moderates.
And life is pretty good there.
Anyone who isn't a neo-con is a liberal according to Palin.
Detroit was voted the #1 most liberal city in America. I'm here to tell you, Detroit is a crime infested dump.
8-9 years ago it was great we actually has jobs here now i see more people living on the street and unemployment rising
Philadelphia PA
we have a unwanted visitor in our state
I think Central Vermont is the most leftist part of the union,but they still love their guns though. I hear Vermont has some real good Milk %26amp; Syrup making up there.
Wherever it is, there will be high crime rates, and high unemployment too. You can count on that.
Austin, TX. Life here is great!!! Just look at all the reports on best places to live, best green places, etc.
Cali!
just ask the governator!
San Fran, Seattle or Portland. Great cities.
Informed Voter, do you mean Bellingham, WA?
You would have to ask Palin, you can't hunt from helicopters anywhere around my neck of the woods...lol
WNC is a shining buckle of left wing hope in an otherwise redneckian bible belt. I rather like it here, thanks!
Old Bisbee, AZ. It's pretty chillax.
San Francisco, CA! Without a doubt!
The big cities of the east and west coast...
Where is that?
I would guess that would be San Fransisco.
I hear it's a pretty place just not my kind of place.
I've seen more hippies up here in WA and OR than in CA.
San Fran. It's busy there. You have to fit getting an abortion, donating all your money to welfare, and being elitist into just 24 hours.

Do liberal campuses accept conservative voices and allow students to think freely?
I am conducting a research project on conservative students attending liberal universities and am wondering if anyone has an opinion on this issue.Do liberal campuses accept conservative voices and allow students to think freely?
I am a conservative student pursuing a Political Science Degree at a liberal university. I find it certainly makes the classes more interesting. The vast majority of students are liberal minded as well so I get a lot of back lash when I voice my opinion in class, but it had led to some great debates. The teachers have never marked me down for going against their political beliefs in my essays or opinion pieces as long as I provide ample evidence to support my claims. Some argue with me in class and try to shut me down, but in an essay I can back myself up instead of getting caught off guard in class and I have yet to change my opinions just to avoid academic penalty nor will I because the joy of living in a free country is the privilege of choice. Some professors even enjoy a political challenge.
Hope this helps :]Do liberal campuses accept conservative voices and allow students to think freely?
If you are a conservative person, the best place to be is attending a liberal university. Why? It gives the liberals something else to think about and also puts some spice in the thinking of conservatives. Good Bless Free Thinking.

Is America sick and tired of the liberal global warming scam?
This years summer has been one of the mildest summers in 3 decades!Is America sick and tired of the liberal global warming scam?
Oh Yah, it's been exposed so that anyone with a brain can see what a joke it is. This summer means nothing.
Nearly ALL American Scientists have signed a petition urging the US to reject the Kyoto treaty and stop anything similar to Cap and Trade. And the reason, there's no data to prove that it's really happening.
Try reading noted Scientist Fred Singers book ';Unstoppable Global
Warming- every 1500 Years. ';Is America sick and tired of the liberal global warming scam?
Yes, and we will have a long cold winter this year to prove their liberal fantacy to be wrong.
You are so funny. Global warming causes weather pattern changes, including cool summers.
If you question Obama, in any fashion.
You are a racist.
You will be investigated.

Excellent! Lemme buy you a beer for that one!
A Liberal will be in the White House. Your Conservatives lost control.
If you want to answer your own questions you should switch to a different Y/A ID.
If not, stop using up all the really, really good , intelligent witty answers. It's just not fair and balanced.
*LOl* and this joke from a dog ....
All should have their IQ tattooed on their forehead, so people (like you) no longer can simply claim to be of higher intellect. If tested, expect one would find more liberal genius in colleges, scientific and medical professions, writers, artists, teachers, philosphers ... than conservative genius. Seems like the conservative genius is usually combined with evil intention.

Without liberal white guilt do you think Obama Hussien would be a possible Presidential nominee today?
People and especially are listening to what this clown is saying but is succumbing to the feeling of we owe this to the blacks attitude. White America will suffer tremendously if this circus clown fakes and lucks his way into the white house.Without liberal white guilt do you think Obama Hussien would be a possible Presidential nominee today?
I have no guilt, and I am white....I have been a volunteer for Mr Obama and will be voting for him in NC in a month. I am done with electing the same people and expecting something different. Mr Obama may let me down once elected, but I know with Hillary or McCain, everything stays the same, which is no longer acceptableWithout liberal white guilt do you think Obama Hussien would be a possible Presidential nominee today?
He certainly would be a possible Presidential nominee today in any case, because of his political talent. But liberal white guilt makes him a *likely* nominee.
That's because there's no way the DNC and the superdelegates will alienate blacks by picking Hillary against Obama's advantages in delegate count and popular vote.
Yes - he is a great speaker, and most liberals are gullible and believe the promises without looking for the facts.
If they were into facts, they would be Republicans.
No way. Liberals hate their own race. That's why they're voting for Obama.
Who's Hussien??? A French guy?
are u dislexic?
No.
Absolutetly. And without fear of people with darker skin, Obama would have already been the nominee.
Who's Obama Hussien?
I have none, i hate white-haters-black, druggie, and liar

If San Francisco is the beacon for Liberal Cities is legalizing prostitution, how is that good for America?
A lot of people think it's about taxing them.
Well let's say they do make it legal, then when there's no work, the government tells you ';prostitute yourself';.
Some people think you can just say no, but can you?
It is work and if it is legal, then you have to do it.
Imagine your 18 and a homeless virgin boy/girl.
Can you imagine the trauma these people will have to endure.
I don't think they should ever make it legal, just look the other way.If San Francisco is the beacon for Liberal Cities is legalizing prostitution, how is that good for America?
You do realize that the only reason why it's not legal is for the fact that you cannot tax prostitutes. Moreover, if you have sex for money, how is that anyone's business? I am not saying prostitution is a good thing. Why would you clamp down on prostitution when you would allow pornography, which is the same thing, except in front of a camera?
By the way, I live in San Francisco. We are not legalizing it. There's a proposition on our ballot for the people to vote on to decriminalize it.If San Francisco is the beacon for Liberal Cities is legalizing prostitution, how is that good for America?
Anytime you can make a victimless crime not a crime, it's a good thing. Less taxpayer money tied up in the court system and now you've created revenue for the federal and local governments who will be benefitting from the sex worker's income tax! Makes sense to me. Now maybe we can put our farmers to work by legalizing marijuana!
Actually, it's legal in most of Western Europe and is taxed. By making it illegal, you don't rid America of it. It still goes on. So if it's going to go on, they might as well pay their taxes like everyone else.
Why are you such a prude? No one will force you to go to a prostitute.
Decriminalizing --- not legalizing.

Why do you think some people are liberal and others conservatives?
Why do you think the way you do?Why do you think some people are liberal and others conservatives?
What we learned growing up,what we learn into life, experiences we have,and peer pressure are all factors in the decisions we make in politics or anything else. We are all products of our own individual environments. That is why it's so hard to get a very large group of people to agree on something.Why do you think some people are liberal and others conservatives?
Some of us have clear cut ideas concerning right and wrong and the initiative to be self-responsible and some of us don't and don't.
Some people want to make a good living and be happy in the knowledge that they have concern for others not so lucky as themselves and that they would like to leave the world a better place for their kids. The others want to make lots of money with no regard for others or the environment as long as they can maintain the wealth of big business, which they think is a sign that the economy is fine and therefore everything is wonderfull.
Some people think there is actually very strong genetic factor that determine whether you are liberal or conservative. It was an article I saw not long ago. Probably so called 'liberal' publication. Some news magazine may be.
This is a quotation that I use over and over again here. In ';The Federal Courts, Politics, and the Rule of Law,'; by John C. Hughes (published 1995), it says:
';In the contemporary political context, those who fear conformity have tended to describe themselves as liberal and have tended to applaud judicial 'protection' of human rights. Those who fear diversity have tended to call themselves conservatives and have been appalled by judicial 'usurpation' of the majority's discretion to form the kind of community it finds most conducive to its own happiness. The former tends to approve of the expansive theories of constitutional interpretation, while the latter tends to prefer the restrained theories of judicial review. These alignments are neither perfect nor inevitable, but the debate has surely been shrill.';
The methods of reasoning between the two mentalities is what determines the ';judgment'; factor regarding the person doing the evaluation. We think the way we do because of adolescent conditioning through touch, verbal/physical communication %26amp; our human environment. Parents, siblings, friends %26amp; acquaintances will have you PRESET by the time you are seven yrs of age. A liberal/conservative mind set is not instilled into a person in later years, it is preset with in a person by the time they are seven yrs of age %26amp; is registered into said person by other human interaction. Individual ideas can change in a person, but their registered pre set mode of evaluation seldom ever changes.
Libs are based in facts....cons just have a gut feeling !
Because I'm a people person and I despise injustice. People are more important then the 'bottom line';, the almighty buck.
Their own experiences shape this. Essentially I think you are asking how we come up with our own beliefs and everyone is different. How we were raised comes into it but also how we experience difficulties and what we find to be important.
Coz right wing crazies think they were born to rule the sandpit and the left wing loonies reckon there should be a democratic vote on who rules the sandpit and theyll still be squabbling over it a hunnert years from now unless the right wing crazies blow the friggin planet up before then. The worst part of it is that its mostly the lefties that end up getting buried in the sandpit!!!!
Where you come from and the way you were raised.
Actually, this is a good question that raises the whole debate about nature v nurture.
I'm a liberal. I'm 52 yrs old. I have always been a liberal bcz I strongly believe in principles such as equality etc.
My Mum is a liberal...my Dad was less so.....but I admired my Dad more than my Mum. Maybe just bcz he was nicer to me when I was a kid.
At my age, I find some proposals of legislation, for example, chokingly fascist. I'm not sure why....I just think it's wrong.
So I suppose I can't really answer your question, friend. Sorry. Apart from to say that life experiences and a good heart make you more open to things.
There are several factors in determining this. Among them are upbringing, life experience, social and economic positions. These days we tend to think in absolutes, but the reality is that few people are totally conservative, or totally liberal, no matter how we choose to describe ourselves. As for why I think the way I do, the answer is because it makes sense to me from my personal point of view.
The rainbow utilizes all its colors to create beauty. If we all did the same in America, it would be equally impressive.
I for one, am a conservative. I served my country, have a heterosexual marriage, didnt abort my kids, worked for everything i have, do not want or need a handout, section 8 house or government medical care. I do not think i need to redistribute my wealth to the lazy. I believe in God, Family %26amp; Country, in that order. I guess it was a sense of right %26amp; wrong. By the way, My parents were both Democrat, but hardly liberal.

What cities in the US are largely liberal?
I'm trying to figure out where I might want to look for a career, I'm a pretty liberal person.What cities in the US are largely liberal?
Portland, San Fransisco, Austin, New YorkWhat cities in the US are largely liberal?
the People's Republic of San Fransisco
San Francisco, Austin TX, Asheville NC, Chapel Hill NC, pretty much any city in the Northeast.
San francisco. The State of Vermont is pretty liberal as well. I know it isn't a city though.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liberalism_鈥?/a> You may want to look there, it has color coded maps to show election results, and I'm not trying to step on anyone's toes, but democrats seem to be more liberal, so that may help. Also, Mass. might be a good choice, they're pretty much at the forefront of legalizing gay marriage, and I just read an article, although completely scary, talked about marriage with robots in the future. (Yes, I'm serious) and it gave a speel about how they predicted that in the next 50 years Mass. would be the first to legalize such marriages, due to their libral views, as well as being the home of MIT.

Why did republicans forgive McCain for his liberal immigration bill and amnesty views?
I remember republicans recently wanting to kick McCain out of the party because of the amnesty bill he co-sponsored with Ted Kennedy.
McCain got over 70% of the hispanic vote in Arizona due to his extremely liberal immigration views.Why did republicans forgive McCain for his liberal immigration bill and amnesty views?
A lot of Repubs are light on immigration. If you got tough you'd have to do a lot of menial jobs yourselves...and you'd have to spend squillions trying to enforce the border. Basically it's a fool's errand to be that tough on immigration purely because you don't like a certain kind of person.Why did republicans forgive McCain for his liberal immigration bill and amnesty views?
Because he explained that he was going to write the bill to pander to immigrants. Then he instructed them to vote the bill down.
McCain is a moderate. He is able to see both sides of a coin. I like that about him, since I am a moderate myself.
Republicans may have forgiven him, conservatives have not.

If the health care bill passes, how will all you 20 and 30 something liberal Obama voters?
feel about having to pay for health insurance that you do not need or want yet? Especially while you are trying to pay off your liberal arts degree college loan? I guess you'll have to be a catalyst for change from Mom's basement, huh?If the health care bill passes, how will all you 20 and 30 something liberal Obama voters?
Well, they got their Christmas wish, and for all of those who have been wishing for more government control over their lives, less freedoms, a lower standard of living in every aspect of their lives including the quality of health care, rising costs, which also include higher taxes than the cost of personal choice insurance, and dumbed down education--by Christmas your list is getting filled.
Government doesn't produce any money--just takes from those who succeed enough to pay into the government, which takes a big chunk in administering the money to pay others. And that pittance comes with government control and strings.
Without foreign force landing on our shores--without any dictator forcibly taking control of our government--without a whimper by the citizenry at large, the America as we knew it, is being changed to another socialistic country with limited personal freedom, limited opportunity, limited education and even limited life spans.
As a country we need to be careful what we wish for. Entitlement is an invitation to enslavement. The government is not accountable for the quality of it's workforce, as well as what it does and does not do.
Yet, government has tremendous power, and maintains its own set of entitlements. Our true entailment is from a source greater than the government.
These are blessings we seek to protect.
MRIf the health care bill passes, how will all you 20 and 30 something liberal Obama voters?
Sure we need a health insurance system, We can afford! I had health insurance and dropped it. I looked at the bill and after deductibles, co-pay and percentage of liability, the insurance company paid $4954.78. We paid $4236.83. We had paid the Insurance company $996.00 a month for the year. The hospital cost ended up on us, because the Doctor was in program not where he does his work. The anesthesiologist was also not in program. This just shows how screwed up things are. The Doctor chooses the Hospital and the anesthesiologist. What are you supposed to do tell him no, you want this one and this hospital.
I now put that money to the side I was paying to insurance every month. Nice nest egg after a year. Maybe a 6 month CD coming up.
Point is, Insurance is a nice way of saying I am giving you a job to manage my money in case I get sick. While your money is paying a CEO,s salary and all his underlings. When you finally need it what will they cover? what treatment will they let you receive and by whom?
Repeat:
Actually, that wouldn't have been necessary if the right hadn't lied about the ';public option'; as being a government takeover. We could have just added then to that and set it up so that it could pay and run itself like the post office, state universities, or any independent government agency. It would cost tax payer's nothing to insure the uninsured or poor Americans BUT NO. This companies making millions would fold because they couldn't compete.
So, they get an imperfect bill we all have to pay out of our pockets. Way to go conservatives! Thank you!
See what ignorance gets you? higher taxes.
it seems they still are placing their faith in obama to take care of them. if obama says it, it must be true lol. they still believe that it is 'deficit neutral'. talk about naive. let's give them a few years of paying taxes on it before it even starts in 2014 and then ask them. it really isn't law yet and still has some obstacles to hurdle so hope is not totally lost as yet.
obama promised: to change the way business was conducted in dc. he promised to have all bills online for at least five days before a vote; he vowed he would sign no bill that included pork, he promised to be the most transparent president ever. these are a few of his promises that he failed to keep among the many.
i fell a lot better than having to pay out the thousands of dollars in debt i am in now because of the broken health system. be thankful this chrismas that they passed this bill to help us out.
companies shouldnt make profit becuase you got sick or injured. thats just immoral. and this isnt about being liberal or a conservitve, this is about being a decent human being and taking care of our country and her people.
also, pay attention and look for facts instead of watching fox news, this bill is deficet neutral. unlike the current system. do a little fact checking.
No one wants to have to use insurance.
I do not understand why so many Americans have fallen for lies about healthcare in the USA, abroad and also the planned reforms [1]. I mean, if the healthcare system in the USA is so good, why have no other nations taken it up? Could it be due to the following facts?
FACT - the USA spends more on healthcare PER PERSON than any other nation on the planet [2].
FACT - the US has higher death rates for kids under five than western European countries with universal health coverage [3].
Or if the US healthcare system is run so well, why not run the fire service like the healthcare system? [4]
Maybe that is because in the USA, insurance companies push up costs, buy politicians and refuse to pay claims that people pay for [5]. (Look up Wendell Potter on YouTube to hear more if the link below is too long.)
Obama wants to make insurance cheaper, stop insurance companies from refusing health coverage to those with pre-existing conditions, and make sure they pay out when they are meant to [6], a system similar to that which works in Taiwan [7]. He debated this before he was elected [8].
Is it right that a dead American four year old would have had a better chance of life if they were born in Canada, Cuba, Germany and so many other industrialised nations with universal healthcare?
If you think my arguments are wrong, e-mail me with proof. But if you can not, let Obama try to help America. If he fails, vote him out in 2012.
19 year old engineering student here.
When I get out of college (I'm currently under my parent's plan, since I'm a student), I'm already planning on buying into a public option, if one exists. Because of all the breaks corporations got the past 8-10 years, they've dropped insurance for many, many employees; including many of my close relatives as examples.
People keep saying on this thread that; healthy Americans 20-30 need healthcare too.. well in my opinion very few of them do unless they we're in some terrible accident or unfortunate event. What kind of person wants to lay down and take handouts when they are able to take care of themselves?
I avoid the doctors at all cost, hoping to avoid people calling me a doosh bag wimp who is always sniveling. Who wants to be known for their poor health anyway? I've stitched my own wound before and even pulled a tooth once. It was basically free; just some booze, needles, pliers, peroxide and bandages.
The ';Hope'; bumper sticker will remain much longer than the feeling of happiness for paying thousands of dollars a year for nothing is gone. By that time it will be to late though, won't it?
Enjoy the crushing bureaucracies and govt. control you voted for.
You wanted smaller paychecks and more expensive products and services? You got it! Congratulations!
Better to focus on domestic problems than big business interests in the middle east.
PS. I am 30 something and I have nothing to do with anyone's mother's basement. We liberals are very successful too. That last part of your question shows a very IGNORANT view.
They can always refuse the Health Care and get free Government Institutional Handouts, in the nearest Federal Prison, instead of Moms'.

Personally I'm guessing I'll never hear from you again.
Compare what you pay your ins co, to what your ins co pays your Dr. Then add up all the co-pays you lay out anyway, and tell me the system doesn't need a total overhaul.
Oh, the pointless no-win war that your beloved president promised to pull out from? Right... The day Obama begins to start making the changes he promised is the day I consider him my president as well.
Most will not vote at all in the next election. They all came out and voted in the last election because of all the hype, but most will go back to being apathetic.
People who think they ';don't need or want'; insurance are one of the main problems with our health care system right now.
So well put. Wish I had said it as it truly is what is going to happen.
Godless heathen, There is a war tax on the way so hold on, your bout ready for a long no money in my pocket ride
You're kidding right?
They'll keep voting Democrat. Like the lemmings they are!
way to generalize
us republicans think we know
but liberals are tougher and harder working than we are
oh you're just full of generalizations aren't you?
why wouldn't a 20 or 30 y/o not want health care? You don't think that they get sick too? or need to go to a hospital?
also all of the industrialized countries we compete against have some form of universal health care
btw my degree is in engineering, what's yours?
Real Americans support Obama. Fortunately for our country, we're the majority which is how he got to the White House in the first place.
If it will help those who need it, I am happy to pay more in taxes.

I'd rather have my tax money paying for health care then funding a pointless no-win war
Well, they got their Christmas wish, and for all of those who have been wishing for more government control over their lives, less freedoms, a lower standard of living in every aspect of their lives including the quality of health care, rising costs, which also include higher taxes than the cost of personal choice insurance, and dumbed down education--by Christmas your list is getting filled.
Government doesn't produce any money--just takes from those who succeed enough to pay into the government, which takes a big chunk in administering the money to pay others. And that pittance comes with government control and strings.
Without foreign force landing on our shores--without any dictator forcibly taking control of our government--without a whimper by the citizenry at large, the America as we knew it, is being changed to another socialistic country with limited personal freedom, limited opportunity, limited education and even limited life spans.
As a country we need to be careful what we wish for. Entitlement is an invitation to enslavement. The government is not accountable for the quality of it's workforce, as well as what it does and does not do.
Yet, government has tremendous power, and maintains its own set of entitlements. Our true entailment is from a source greater than the government.
These are blessings we seek to protect.
MRIf the health care bill passes, how will all you 20 and 30 something liberal Obama voters?
Sure we need a health insurance system, We can afford! I had health insurance and dropped it. I looked at the bill and after deductibles, co-pay and percentage of liability, the insurance company paid $4954.78. We paid $4236.83. We had paid the Insurance company $996.00 a month for the year. The hospital cost ended up on us, because the Doctor was in program not where he does his work. The anesthesiologist was also not in program. This just shows how screwed up things are. The Doctor chooses the Hospital and the anesthesiologist. What are you supposed to do tell him no, you want this one and this hospital.
I now put that money to the side I was paying to insurance every month. Nice nest egg after a year. Maybe a 6 month CD coming up.
Point is, Insurance is a nice way of saying I am giving you a job to manage my money in case I get sick. While your money is paying a CEO,s salary and all his underlings. When you finally need it what will they cover? what treatment will they let you receive and by whom?
Repeat:
Actually, that wouldn't have been necessary if the right hadn't lied about the ';public option'; as being a government takeover. We could have just added then to that and set it up so that it could pay and run itself like the post office, state universities, or any independent government agency. It would cost tax payer's nothing to insure the uninsured or poor Americans BUT NO. This companies making millions would fold because they couldn't compete.
So, they get an imperfect bill we all have to pay out of our pockets. Way to go conservatives! Thank you!
See what ignorance gets you? higher taxes.
it seems they still are placing their faith in obama to take care of them. if obama says it, it must be true lol. they still believe that it is 'deficit neutral'. talk about naive. let's give them a few years of paying taxes on it before it even starts in 2014 and then ask them. it really isn't law yet and still has some obstacles to hurdle so hope is not totally lost as yet.
obama promised: to change the way business was conducted in dc. he promised to have all bills online for at least five days before a vote; he vowed he would sign no bill that included pork, he promised to be the most transparent president ever. these are a few of his promises that he failed to keep among the many.
i fell a lot better than having to pay out the thousands of dollars in debt i am in now because of the broken health system. be thankful this chrismas that they passed this bill to help us out.
companies shouldnt make profit becuase you got sick or injured. thats just immoral. and this isnt about being liberal or a conservitve, this is about being a decent human being and taking care of our country and her people.
also, pay attention and look for facts instead of watching fox news, this bill is deficet neutral. unlike the current system. do a little fact checking.
No one wants to have to use insurance.
I do not understand why so many Americans have fallen for lies about healthcare in the USA, abroad and also the planned reforms [1]. I mean, if the healthcare system in the USA is so good, why have no other nations taken it up? Could it be due to the following facts?
FACT - the USA spends more on healthcare PER PERSON than any other nation on the planet [2].
FACT - the US has higher death rates for kids under five than western European countries with universal health coverage [3].
Or if the US healthcare system is run so well, why not run the fire service like the healthcare system? [4]
Maybe that is because in the USA, insurance companies push up costs, buy politicians and refuse to pay claims that people pay for [5]. (Look up Wendell Potter on YouTube to hear more if the link below is too long.)
Obama wants to make insurance cheaper, stop insurance companies from refusing health coverage to those with pre-existing conditions, and make sure they pay out when they are meant to [6], a system similar to that which works in Taiwan [7]. He debated this before he was elected [8].
Is it right that a dead American four year old would have had a better chance of life if they were born in Canada, Cuba, Germany and so many other industrialised nations with universal healthcare?
If you think my arguments are wrong, e-mail me with proof. But if you can not, let Obama try to help America. If he fails, vote him out in 2012.
19 year old engineering student here.
When I get out of college (I'm currently under my parent's plan, since I'm a student), I'm already planning on buying into a public option, if one exists. Because of all the breaks corporations got the past 8-10 years, they've dropped insurance for many, many employees; including many of my close relatives as examples.
People keep saying on this thread that; healthy Americans 20-30 need healthcare too.. well in my opinion very few of them do unless they we're in some terrible accident or unfortunate event. What kind of person wants to lay down and take handouts when they are able to take care of themselves?
I avoid the doctors at all cost, hoping to avoid people calling me a doosh bag wimp who is always sniveling. Who wants to be known for their poor health anyway? I've stitched my own wound before and even pulled a tooth once. It was basically free; just some booze, needles, pliers, peroxide and bandages.
The ';Hope'; bumper sticker will remain much longer than the feeling of happiness for paying thousands of dollars a year for nothing is gone. By that time it will be to late though, won't it?
Enjoy the crushing bureaucracies and govt. control you voted for.
You wanted smaller paychecks and more expensive products and services? You got it! Congratulations!
Better to focus on domestic problems than big business interests in the middle east.
PS. I am 30 something and I have nothing to do with anyone's mother's basement. We liberals are very successful too. That last part of your question shows a very IGNORANT view.
They can always refuse the Health Care and get free Government Institutional Handouts, in the nearest Federal Prison, instead of Moms'.

Personally I'm guessing I'll never hear from you again.
Compare what you pay your ins co, to what your ins co pays your Dr. Then add up all the co-pays you lay out anyway, and tell me the system doesn't need a total overhaul.
Oh, the pointless no-win war that your beloved president promised to pull out from? Right... The day Obama begins to start making the changes he promised is the day I consider him my president as well.
Most will not vote at all in the next election. They all came out and voted in the last election because of all the hype, but most will go back to being apathetic.
People who think they ';don't need or want'; insurance are one of the main problems with our health care system right now.
So well put. Wish I had said it as it truly is what is going to happen.
Godless heathen, There is a war tax on the way so hold on, your bout ready for a long no money in my pocket ride
You're kidding right?
They'll keep voting Democrat. Like the lemmings they are!
way to generalize
us republicans think we know
but liberals are tougher and harder working than we are
oh you're just full of generalizations aren't you?
why wouldn't a 20 or 30 y/o not want health care? You don't think that they get sick too? or need to go to a hospital?
also all of the industrialized countries we compete against have some form of universal health care
btw my degree is in engineering, what's yours?
Real Americans support Obama. Fortunately for our country, we're the majority which is how he got to the White House in the first place.
If it will help those who need it, I am happy to pay more in taxes.
awwww, are you pouting?

Are Liberal Arts Colleges still popular to attend?

What is the economic value of an liberal arts education to a student?
The real question is, do you want to make money or is it more important to create? Money in this area only comes when you are at the top of your game. You can only be that way if you are committed to your endeavor. Money seems to be the only thing that motivates you or you would not have to ask.What is the economic value of an liberal arts education to a student?
It really depends on what you do with one, many employers value those who have a more rounded education because they are more flexible. But as far as going into a specific practice like, I dunno, engineering or something, it is better to specify. So I guess it depends on the area you want to go into. If you do not know where you want to go then go with a lib. arts ed.
If you are looking to get rich though you should certainly pick another route.

Why is Farrakan and the rest of the gang not worried about Obama being a total liberal?
It seems that mostly Republican Conservative are worried about Obama going out in the liberal deep end. Many left leaning conservative have not express concerns about Obama's flashy side of politics.Why is Farrakan and the rest of the gang not worried about Obama being a total liberal?
Liberals adore liberals! Farrakhan called Obama the Messiah in church.Why is Farrakan and the rest of the gang not worried about Obama being a total liberal?
They don't care what he is just so long as he's not a white christian conservative.
Why would he worry about Obama? They are in their own world. They already think they are their own country! In their minds, the rest of us are just living AROUND them... lol
I think they all know stuff we don't.

Why are people so obsessed with being conservative or liberal?
Can't we all just focus on being American? Shouldn't we all focus on being American? This whole ';liberals are trying to give our country to the enemy,'; rhetoric is just a waste of time. Same with the nuts on the left convinced EVERY conservative wants to turn the US into a dictatorship. All this separationism based on political beliefs is just helping to separate the country Why are we so hung up on political colors in this country? Why not be Americans first?Why are people so obsessed with being conservative or liberal?
Those things aren't just labels. They are belief systems. Heart felt philosophies of right and wrong, moral and immoral, fair and unfair. What works and doesn't work.
Most people who have a strong sense of what they believe are usually willing to fight for it.
Here is the thing I love about America.
Liberals HATE George Bush but they are patriotic enough to not try to overthrow the government.
Conservatives Hated Bill Clinton but they respected the system enough to not try to have him killed.
When Gore won the popular vote but lost the electoral college and with that, the Presidency... most countries would have rioted in the streets. Americans argued.
I think it is great that people disagree at the top of their voices.... yet still allow the ';rule of law'; to dominate our society.
I think Obama and McCain will bring back the respect and dignity you are hoping for.
I was proud of McCain yesterday when he apologized for the conservative talk show host's remarks intended to slight Obama.
Unfortunately.... their followers will continue to be rude and nasty.Why are people so obsessed with being conservative or liberal?
I think everyone's just kind of given up on ';rational'; and 'debate'; and it's about who can sling the most mud now. But I agree with you, I think we need both parties in order to get back on track, becasue both have good ideas, but when we are divided, our leaders can do what they want and not what we want.
well it doesnt seem that way to me. im conservative and everywhere i go, i see the opposite. where are the conservative and smart liberals?
because we have our beliefs and they have the wrong beliefs..lol
Being a moderate myself, I don't understand it at all.
I used to very blind as to the differences in ideology really. But now the ';left'; has really ';pissed'; me off with the way they play the ';game'; and its become my mission in life to take every last one of them down. Im tired of them embracing all these ';splinter'; groups gays, tree huggers, illegals you name it they will embrace you for a vote that is! Then they throw it in your face and try to make ';others'; feel guilty for not ';embracing'; others. Its a form of cowardly political blackmail! I will expose liberal hypocrisy where ever i go!
Liberals keep taking so much money from me that I am beginning to contemplate giving up my business and simply not even trying hard. I've spent 16 years working night and day, and my NET income barely moves. The tax structure in this country and in NY State makes it virtually impossible to get ahead. Liberals don't even know this.
Obama is the worst. He's going to nail me if he wins, and if he does I will actually be better off making less.
libs don't want to be americans, they hate the US, so that is not going to work. We are separated because the left refuses to see and agree with the correct way to run this country.
Fine with me if you let me keep the money I make and not make me give to who YOU think I should give it to.
Sound Fair?

Be careful, the Republican and Democrat power machines will be knocking down your door any minute. You're onto them.

Exactly. The media and the ridiculous two party system we have want us to remain bickering and squabbling over which head of the two-headed, power-hungry monster we should elect so that we don't band together and elect someone of our choosing rather that choosing among the two hand-picked choices to which they limit us.

conservative: BOMB, BOMB, BOMB, BOMB BOMB IRAN!!!
liberal: oh, dear...i dont know...um....what?
moderate: do we really need a war? can we sit and talk about this? it would be ashame to go bankrupt in lives and money if we dont have to...What are the liberal and conservative views on Foreign Policy?
Liberals want to do business on a level playing field where everyone works within the same rules. Conservatives fight for their right to keep child labor in tact and are working for their goal of slave labor so they dont have to waste their time with wages and health care.

Why does the liberal media turn the Olympics into a political venue?
Can't we just enjoy the sporting competitions instead of politicizing them?Why does the liberal media turn the Olympics into a political venue?
It's what they do. They can't help themselves. They've had so much power for so long, they can't bear the thought of losing it, so they take every single opportunity they can find and try to bend the minds of our citizens.
Sadly, the days of honest, unbiased reporting are long gone in the vast majority of media outlets. They don't even try to appear to be fair. They have their agenda, and they push it hard. It's all they've got left.
Sad, isn't it?
.Why does the liberal media turn the Olympics into a political venue?
Honestly, I didn't see the opening ceremonies but can't imagine an openly ';liberal'; discussion on the various attending nations. The problem is that the media is SO conservative that they are able to frame every topic the way the republicans want and there is little to no liberal view to oppose it.
We can all name 30 conservative media personalities. How many liberals can you name?
It is also important to label the topics correctly. If you want to learn what liberals are really talking about listen to Thom Hartmann, www.ThomHartmann.com or go to www.democraticunderground.com/.
Drilling, affirmative action, strong economy for business, personal attacks, voter fraud, celebrities, muslims and terror are all conservative talking points.
Liberals want to talk about, alternative energy, Bush/Cheney impeachment, healthcare, failing schools and roads, breaking up the monopolies in energy and media, bad economy for employees, the enviroment and the distruction of the constitution.
Wiretapping, torturing, corporate handouts and bailouts are on tv every night but they aren't talking how it could affect you.
There is no liberal media, other than Countdown with Keith Olbermann. The rest of the day is Pat Buchannan, Joe Scarborough, Tucker Carlson, Chris Mathews (not a liberal).
Check out Thom Hartmann and DemocraticUnderground and see what the liberals are really talking about and see if it would benefit you more than what the GOP wants to give you.
The Media is not liberal
NBC is owned by GE...one of the biggest defense contractors ever to exist... they make a LOT of money by going to war. They love making disgusting amounts of money, and they LOVE going to war...so they're Conservative Republicans if anything.
PLUS... i don't know where you've been for so long, but CHINA is the reason this is political... the big question is, ';should china have ever been awared with the olympics in light of their horrible human rights record?';
That has always been part of the modern Olympics. If it wasn't political, then the athletes wouldn't compete under their country's flag, they'd just get together and compete.
And what sporting event should the commentators have been discussing during the parade of nations?
Can you give me an example Annie? I am not doubting you, just want an example.
Since when is educating an audience liberal or conservative? This is the thing about some neo-cons. If they don't like it - it has to be liberal.
Because the SCLM (so-called ';liberal'; media) are conservative, capitalistic commercial enterprises that are more interested in spewing than in informing.
The media is nothing but a manipulative organization that is caught up in their delusion of power. Watch the event and mute it when you can.
perhaps you would rather they ignore all nations until the USA walks in then fawning and slavering praise, and abject denial of quality of all others. that's the Ann Coulter way.
lol, the ORIGINAL Olympics, back in Greece, were all about politics.. it always has been about politics... get over yourself.

In one form or another it always has been. Has nothing to do with your chicken little fear of a so called liberal media.
Started with Carter with the boycott of the Moscow games. Now the liberals think that this is an ace in the hole to be pulled out anytime that a country doesn't do our bidding. Yup that is the Democrats answer to everything, if you don't play by our rules, we are taking our ball and going home.
They turn everything into a political venue....being socialists they want government involved with every aspect of life so that they can 'level the playing field'; needed or not.

Anyone know how to find a church for a liberal christian?
I'm not really into denominations but I am looking for a church for a liberal christian to attend. I'm not sure what denominations are more liberal and less conservative. No dogma.
Anyone know how to find a church for a liberal christian?
Go to belief.net and take the belief-o-matic quiz. It will tell you which denomination is most like your beliefs. Anyone know how to find a church for a liberal christian?
Try the Unitarian Universalists or Quakers or Episcopalian Churches: they are about as liberal as liberal can be. The Metropolitan Community Church with an almost exclusively gay memberships is the most liberal of all.
If there isn't one in your area, then you are screwed. Too bad.
And what are you doing wasting time in church anyway instead of taking a walk or shagging your mate, going hiking or camping or fishing or throwing a frisbee to your dog in a park or wrestling with your kids in the great Cathedral of Nature as you were intended to do.
Lions were not meant to philosophize and humans were not meant to exist in the stultifying brainwash of churches that take everything natural and destroy it.
';As the catepillar lays her eggs on the fairest leaves, the priest lays his curse on the fairest joys.' William Blake, who was also a lot like Emily Dickinson below.
Some keep the Sabbath going to Church
I keep it, staying at Home 鈥?br>
With a Bobolink for a Chorister 鈥?br>
And an Orchard, for a Dome 鈥?br>
Some keep the Sabbath in Surplice 鈥?br>
I just wear my Wings 鈥?br>
And instead of tolling the Bell, for Church,
Our little Sexton sings.
God preaches, a noted Clergyman 鈥?br>
And the sermon is never long,
So instead of getting to Heaven, at last 鈥?br>
I'm going, all along.

I always liked Walt Whitman who wrote ';There's more holiness in my **** than in all the churches of the world.';
At least his crap is natural which is more than we can say for religion.
If you consider yourself a christian (believe in the divinity of jesus), but have more liberal social views, the United Methodist Church may be a good starting point. I agreed with their positions, just not with their theology. Otherwise it was a nice church. Nice folks, good coffee.
The UCC is snarkily known as ';Unitarians Considering Christ';, so you might want to check them out (it actually stands for United Church of Christ).
Yup I sure do.

Unitarian where they worship with pagans....I dont recommend it..
In other words, a non Christian church?
Just watch Oprah. I'm sure they'll show a bunch of them on that show.
Anyone know how to find a church for a liberal christian?
Go to belief.net and take the belief-o-matic quiz. It will tell you which denomination is most like your beliefs. Anyone know how to find a church for a liberal christian?
Try the Unitarian Universalists or Quakers or Episcopalian Churches: they are about as liberal as liberal can be. The Metropolitan Community Church with an almost exclusively gay memberships is the most liberal of all.
If there isn't one in your area, then you are screwed. Too bad.
And what are you doing wasting time in church anyway instead of taking a walk or shagging your mate, going hiking or camping or fishing or throwing a frisbee to your dog in a park or wrestling with your kids in the great Cathedral of Nature as you were intended to do.
Lions were not meant to philosophize and humans were not meant to exist in the stultifying brainwash of churches that take everything natural and destroy it.
';As the catepillar lays her eggs on the fairest leaves, the priest lays his curse on the fairest joys.' William Blake, who was also a lot like Emily Dickinson below.
Some keep the Sabbath going to Church
I keep it, staying at Home 鈥?br>
With a Bobolink for a Chorister 鈥?br>
And an Orchard, for a Dome 鈥?br>
Some keep the Sabbath in Surplice 鈥?br>
I just wear my Wings 鈥?br>
And instead of tolling the Bell, for Church,
Our little Sexton sings.
God preaches, a noted Clergyman 鈥?br>
And the sermon is never long,
So instead of getting to Heaven, at last 鈥?br>
I'm going, all along.

Why can a reasonably intelligent and logical person be liberal?
it makes no logical sense why someone would be liberal. can someone please explain!?! conservatism is just right based on intellegance and my good friend common sense. or do liberals not have any intellegance or common sense, because it sure comes off that way.Why can a reasonably intelligent and logical person be liberal?
Lesson 1. Information leads to knowledge. Knowledge leads to wisdom. Wisdom is what defines intelligence.
With that said, please understand that most liberals obtain their information from the drive-by, er I mean, main-stream media. That information along with the teachings of liberal professors these ';college educated'; libs view as the truth is why they will only be ';Reasonably Intelligent';. Conservative Americans know that the truth is in the actions and not the words of the individual. This is why most conservatives are ';Highly Intelligent'; and run most of the major corporations in this country, even without college diplomas.
If a liberal were to come up with a solution to an issue rather than an accusation or a protest, I might respect that person's position. But as we are very much aware of these days, Democrats are quick to put down and criticize our President for his decisions rather put their own careers on the line with a solution that might backfire and hurt their agenda.
Libs tell the American people what the people want to hear because the media tells them so. The media (TV, Newspapers, etc.) is slanted so far to the left that the viewer/reader has to fight through the garbage to get the facts. It's is a shame that not all Americans are strong enough to keep on fighting through the trash talking news and seek of the truth.
Don't hate someone for being a liberal; feel sorry for them. Tell them that they do not have to hate this country just because the Constitution says they have the right to. Tell them that just because there is a plaque with the Ten Commandments on a public building, that they can continue breaking them in their pitiful lives with no spiritual direction.
But never tolerate anyone who will badmouth the men and women who are serving this nation in war and putting their lives in harms way so that these idiots can continue to have the freedom to say what they want about the leaders of our nation.
This is why they say, ';Right is right'; and ';Exit, stage left';.Why can a reasonably intelligent and logical person be liberal?
The intelligent, informed and logical people are liberal because all the sheep are
Republicans...
Beliefs aren't tied to logic.
Morals especially.
For example:
In the Dune series homosexual behavior is abhorred, why?
Not because of any moral or ethical problem, instead the characters of the book disapprove because homosexual actions do not pass along genetic data of the human race.
That's belief in pure logic without any morals behind it.
Now the opposite is also true, some people believe that they have the right to do certain things because they ';know'; they were given that right.
It's not logic, it's faith.
Like God, God isn't logical or scientific to some people, mostly liberals I've noticed, BUT many conservatives believe in him.
Explain to me then why the higher educated you are the more likely you are to be liberal? Seems like the higher educated would be smarter typically. How does this fit into your ';logic';?
Because your under the Impression that being conservative is correct for your Morals %26amp; Values.That's Great!I'm sure you also think George W. is the best President this country has ever had.
Because No liberal is intelligent or logiical, that's why.
Intelligent and logical people have a greater tendency to be caring and giving.
Mainstream Liberals may care.
Education is often mistaken for Intelligence, the two are not the same thing.
do you have any facts to back this up?
why do Republicans cry and cry and cry about how liberals don't have any ';intelligence'; or ';common sense';... but then they don't have the ';common sense'; or ';intelligence'; to bother to use an example to back up their comments?
do you expect us to believe you just because you ';say so';?
is that ';intelligent'; or does that make any sense?
you need to actually make ONE POINT... before people can respond to it... so far, you've made no actual points...
When you actually come up with why treating greed as a virtue but compassion as a weakness is ';just right'; and ';common sense'; come back and make your argument.
Here's some examples of Conservative ';common sense';:
Conservatives: We want to be the party of small government and reduced spending
Reality: Bush gives us a larger, more Orwellian government that threatens to strip its citizens of their civil rights. Somehow Bush squandered a surplus and built the largest deficit in American history. The war in Iraq is costing 12B a month. There's some sound fiscal decision making!
Conservatives: Just say NO to gays getting married. Marriage should be defined by the Federal Government as a bond between a woman and a man.
Reality: Propositioning Congressional pages, having sex with male prostitutes and seeking sex in an airport men's room is okay as long as your actions aren't found out by the evil liberal media.
Conservatives: Americans should be outraged at the thought of their tax dollars going to welfare and handouts. Do you want a nanny state?
Reality: Americans should be outraged at the thought of their tax dollars going to Corportate Welfare and Tax Subsidies to the likes of ADM, Conagra, Exxon, Texaco, Halluburton..ect.
But for Dick Cheney, Ted Stevens and the like..it's all OKAY!
if you are entrenched in your political views, you are less likely to be open minded and logical...if you are entrenched, you will find examples to suit your views rather than fit your views to the reality you find...It is all about common sense, logic, open-mindedness. Tell me how you would react to something if it tended to overturn your applecart....if you found a few liberal ideas not so bad....would you reject them or adapt your views to fit the evidence?
so what are you actually conserving?
On the contrary...
What I have I experienced when I encounter a liberal is someone who usually has a liberal arts degree, either a BA, or higher (sometimes a BS, but I think many scientists do acknowledge their weaknesses as humans). The amount of education and information absorbed has surpassed their ability to think as a ';commoner';. A commoner being someone who works very, very hard physically as well as mentally. A commoner being someone who probably most likely seeks spiritual guidance from a Higher Power (God, for me) because said commoner acknowledges his/her weaknesses and seeks comfort from God.
Many of the liberals I have engaged in conversation do not usually believe in a Higher Power. Well, I take that back. I have relatives who believe in the same God as I do, but they don't believe in ';judging'; people. They believe in ';to each his/her own';, but I do not believe that the laws and rules that God has given us were meant to be pick and choose rules.
I do not by any means pretend to be a saint. I, in fact, am a sinner, but I acknowledge that I am nothing but a human being that requires Supreme guidance. My Supreme guidance has allowed me to distinguish right from wrong.
So, basically, the higher educated liberal usually believes their immense knowledge surpasses that of a Higher Power; thus, anything goes....as long as it's what THEY want...
They have no common sense and all their intelligance was smoked away while protesting another war, Vietnam!
This question can be asked both ways. Why do most conservatives believe in God. There's no actual proof of a god except for a book. The belief in a false deity would therefore make this person unintelligent and illogical.
Also why is conservatism right? Going to war for WMDs that aren't there is stupid. Taking away rights of people is stupid.
Why do liberals have no common sense?
George W. Bush is one of the most illogical type of person you'll find. He tries to hide the fact, but he bases his decisions on emotion.
If you believe in spending other people's money for a false sense of security, you're a Conservative. Everyone else is by default a Liberal.
p.s. You're not very intelligent if you can't spell intelligence.

Why is the Liberal side so obsessed with FOX News?
Shouldn't they be more concerned with the issues of the campaign like, ';Where is the Obama campaign hiding Michelle Obama'; or ';Where can I find such great friends like Bill Ayres'; or ';Where do I locate a nice church that is lead by a great patriotic pastor like Jeremiah Wright'; ? Some people just have too much time on their hands. Why is the Liberal side so obsessed with FOX News?
Because they get higher ratings then all the other networks.
How dare them for giving people news not designed to promote the left's agenda.Why is the Liberal side so obsessed with FOX News?
Michelle Obama has been campaigning in alot of different towns in Pa., OH, and WI recently. don't you read the news? Jeremiah Wright is a patriot, he served in WWII. Perhaps you should do some reading sometime and quite believing the corporate ditto heads. BTW, I don't watch Fox news. But I've watched them enough in the past to find that I find them rather preachy and they like to talk down to their audience while they lie through their teeth. If that's your thing, well then, I guess that's your thing. But for your information, the real issues concerning the election is the economy, energy and healthcare. None of which McCain is even remotely coming close to addressing.
well ignoring everything under the question i know the answer.
Those who self identify as 'liberal democrats' have shown almost zero tolerance for those that disagree with them.
I would bet the same is true for 'conservative republicans', however i am not sure of it.
It is possible that those who are self identifying 'liberal democrat' are truly Marxist in nature and really do believe that the unwashed masses should have it forced on them from above if they don't agree voluntarily.
The thing I've noticed about Liberals is that if one of them makes a political statement that sounds good to them, the others will repeat it over, and over, and over, ad infinitum. They're not much on originality, or deep thought. A clever quip trumps critical observation every time.
If you live through one liberal rant, you've pretty much heard them all.---Has anyone been spared from hearing ';FOX is corrupt, Rush is a loud mouth, Dick Cheney's evil, Karl Rove's an evil genius, blah, blah,blah.';
Republicans often have bumper stickers on their cars, but liberals have them tattooed on their brains.
For decades liberals had a monopoly on television news, so their fallacies went unchallenged. Fox tells both sides of every story, and liberals hate it. This shows us all that liberals hate freedom of speech unless of course the speaker is a liberal.
I laugh at FOX NEWS.
They are the biggest joke.
FOX NEWS will never host a Presidential Debate and so on. Ever think about that, Republican?
FOX NEWS is simply not news.
The liberals are so obsessed with Fox News because they are liars (the liberals) and Fox broadcasts help to expose their lies. With Fox out of the way, they could effectively control the American public's perception of the world around them.
Without Fox News and talk radio, the liberals would have a monopoly on broadcasting.
They are the only ones standing in the way of their secular Euro-socialist society.
When they start putting news on, it will have a legitimate purpose.
Nope. Our attention is focused where it needs to be.

IsOs the Isreali/Jewish lobby in the US more liberal or more conservative than the political parties in Israel?
Are the main lobby organizations in the US more on the side of Likud or Labor or are they in the middle? Is the US Jewish lobby more monolithic or very diverse? What is it that the US Jewish lobby really wants in terms of US foreign policy towards Israel?IsOs the Isreali/Jewish lobby in the US more liberal or more conservative than the political parties in Israel?
It is like putting 18 scholars in a room to debate on a law of Torah, when the votes are counted you get 19. Same with Jews, they can't agree on who to agree with. But they all do agree on the same Hebrew Bible, whether an atheist or the Hispanic Rabbi of Mexico or the Rabbi head of England or Jerusalem . . . it is because the law must be applied to the very community it is addressing and not a world order or edict. It isn't easy to have a few groups going in 100s of directions at the same time, but that is they way life is for a Jew.
Imagine the weatherman on Israeli TV--you get Rabbis and the people each praying for rain in one location vs. another. The weather changes by the minute and hour. Can't keep up with the prayers and God's answers. How can you separate commitment to what is best for a democratic country where only non-Jews are playing King Solomon as if the land is a baby of two women? And the Jew? He stands in wonderment %26amp; shock.
There are no real lobbies of Jews because there are no popes, so-called kings of Islamic countries governing their lands by changing the applications and rules of the Qu'ran to suit their sect. That is why Iran is different than Iraq or Egypt or Dubai, or Morocco, or Sudan or Somolia, or Pakistan or India, or where the majority of the 2 Billion Muslims live, in Indonesia, but they have a common bond, to get rid of Israel, and have the money to keep making Israel the main topic of the media rather than face the real issues of poverty, hunger and our dependence on oil, etc. And in the background, in silence, they send out their missionaries to make this world all Islamic. Then the Pope has his own country where only Catholic's can work, vote and live, but must be religious %26amp; they have a common bond to make the world Catholic. JW send out their missionaries, so do the Buddhists, Hindus, the Moonies, the cults, etc.
My GUncle is a Sunni Muslim--his own grandparents were given the choice of sword or conversion. My own Native American tribes had the same offer from Christian missionaries. Even when my people converted they ended up losing their lands in the ';Trail of Tears.';
There is too many diverse voices from people in Washington, the least are the Jews whom concentrate on social issues like health care, pollution, world hunger, clean seas and oceans, etc. Why? People don't realize that there is no bodily reward for a heaven or a permanent hell in Judaism ever (check the Five Books of Moses). So, the Jews are worried about today, not a maybe, not 500 years from now, but what are we going to do to fix the horrible conditions of this world. Just this past week five dairies that supply milk for NYC will have to close because they can't charge what it costs them to keep a farm going!
While people are trying to throw out the baby with the bathwater, I don't think people are serious about God and the two Covenants that are in the Hebrew Bible (one for God-Fearers via the Jews that live by the Torah). Hard to get people to concentrate on pinning a Jew down on his politics but they will agree on the social issues. You decide, each one votes differently and each Jew has his own connection to the Bible %26amp; the future World-to-Come when the Garden of Eden is to be here again, but then there are the ';now'; issues that keep them grounded in feeding their kids %26amp; having a roof over their head in this time and place without mixing in politics %26amp; views from non-Jews about a country with no natural resources, the size of Rhode Island.IsOs the Isreali/Jewish lobby in the US more liberal or more conservative than the political parties in Israel?
It seems like the powerful Jewish lobby is mostly conservative, even in Israel the conservative party has won the last election.
It makes for a tense situation between Israel and our country whose demands are now met with stubbornness from Israel's side.

So, the Jews are worried about today, not a maybe, not 500 years from now, but what are we going to do to fix the horrible conditions of this world. Just this past week five dairies that supply milk for NYC will have to close because they can't charge what it costs them to keep a farm going!
While people are trying to throw out the baby with the bathwater, I don't think people are serious about God and the two Covenants that are in the Hebrew Bible (one for God-Fearers via the Jews that live by the Torah). Hard to get people to concentrate on pinning a Jew down on his politics but they will agree on the social issues. You decide, each one votes differently and each Jew has his own connection to the Bible %26amp; the future World-to-Come when the Garden of Eden is to be here again, but then there are the ';now'; issues that keep them grounded in feeding their kids %26amp; having a roof over their head in this time and place without mixing in politics %26amp; views from non-Jews about a country with no natural resources, the size of Rhode Island.IsOs the Isreali/Jewish lobby in the US more liberal or more conservative than the political parties in Israel?
It seems like the powerful Jewish lobby is mostly conservative, even in Israel the conservative party has won the last election.
It makes for a tense situation between Israel and our country whose demands are now met with stubbornness from Israel's side.
