They are very fearful, afraid of everything. Not all conservatives are stupid and fearful.....

The right just wants the libertine progressive-left to pay for its own recreational choices and consequences.

The reason the left is obsessed about other people's stuff is that when it boils down to it they are selfish greedy, and lazy. Ironically, many on the left have the same traits they unfairly accuse conservatives of having.

What do you expect when you raise a generation of children to believe they're all special little snowflakes and deserve respect just for existing? Instead of going to school and working low paying jobs with bad hours like most people had to do in their twenties, they expect that a $15/hour job be given to them to sit at a desk and browse Instagram all day. And thus another progressive liberal is born.

Really, is that right? Do you think you will pay fewer taxes or will they simply spend the money on something else. Now, can you answer my question?

Traits like working hard all our lives, serving our Nation, paying our taxes and being good Citizens, hmmm, every lefty I know does all those things, must be different kinds of lefties in your neck of the woods. Do the Cons there stay out of other peoples private lives and do not attempt to deny the same rights too all its citizens?

Well, I live in Baltimore City. If you want to know what the lefties in my neck of the woods look like, I.e. The people that elected Obama, then I hope you were watching the coverage of the riots two weeks ago.

The conservatives were the cops and national guardsmen keeping the peace, as well as the business owners and folks who cleaned up in the aftermath. Hope that helps.

Does the left understand that most people in this world have to share housing? That most of the world doesn't get all this stuff that progressives crave (and if it doesn't, perpetually squeals about 'equality')? All the serial graduate degrees they want, from name brand universities? All the backpacking side trips to Nepal?

Does the left think that everybody in the world has the luxury of picking and choosing their vocations and crafts so that they're not beneath them?

??? I have proposed a way for the vast majority of working Americans to have their own housing, withour any government handouts.

Most are leftists who vote Democratic to maintain their well-compensated government jobs and retirement benefits.

The left has historically contended in the streets with the left. The left historically turns on the left: Brezhnev vs. Mao, Shining Path vs. MRTA, UNITA vs. MPLA, Vietnam vs. Democratic Kampuchea, Bloomberg vs. Occupy, Quan vs. Occupy,.... Progressive on progressive internecine rivalry is routine.

Sometimes the leftist mayor even instructs her leftist Baltimore PD to allow the progressives to trash the place.
