No, you support the ideals of those ideologues you are a member of them, by default..

I find it quite sad that some people can not see threats for what they so clearly are, threats..

Because large majority are of the feeble type or "protected classes"...women and the "flamer type" homosexual. They seek the biggest gun to protect and cater to their best interest. And those who are lazy and/or subvert the system and do not care about the consequences of their actions. These are your statists. To them, the ends justify the means.

You also have the bigots who just want to trump the white man...

Not really. Only a small percentage are elected. My question is why do liberals act like the government is their loving parent? That they are perfectly happy with a bunch of bureaucrats telling them when, where and how often they can poop? I realize 26 is the new 18 these days but what about the rest of you children?

Post please..

Liberals always favor hope over experience, which makes sense seeing how most liberals are young, and have no real experience of how the real world works...

WHY do you guys keep repeating the "You didn't build that" falsehood?

Walter Williams asked the question "How many people does it take to get a bunch of bananas from the field to the store". SAME THING.

You just answered your own question. We try to obstruct government because the government is made up of people.

What's weird is liberals - on one hand they blast conservatives as evil and selfish, and on the other hand they want to increase government power. What happens when those evil conservatives get into power?

Immediately after crying out about George Bush wrecking the economy and starting wars, the liberals are perfectly OK with Obama using executive power to with-hold drilling permits, bomb Libya, repeal welfare reform, change immigration enforcement, change the ACA, etc. What happens when an evil hated Republican gets into office and uses the precedents that your man Obama set to undo all the things you like? What happens when he uses the Senate changes your man Harry Reid put into place to appoint all pro-life judges? What happens when he uses reconciliation like your guys did to cut all social spending?

That's why we obstruct government. Because once you give government power, you cannot control how government uses that power. Just because you like what government is doing today, doesn't mean you'll like what they do tomorrow.
