It's funny how people don't realize that for every "right" a person feels entitled to, someone else has a responsibility to pay for it.
If these programs are so important to the recipient, they would find a way to take responsibility for it themselves.
I just watched the news. They were covering the floods in New Jersey. Some moron said that the state should buy the neighborhood houses and move the residents somewhere else.
The ideologies ARE against each other - always have been.
Keep in mind the right-wing pep rallies have been going on for 30+ years. Limbaugh created the great Liberal-Conservative Divide. Before Limbaugh this great divide did not exist. He made things simple for a certain frightened, suspicious mentality (now his followers). Opposing "liberal" views have not been heard until recently. The left of Limbaugh is NOT liberal. It includes moderates. BTW don't say these are buzzwords, they have meaning.
You're saying the desire for authority is in everyone, being pursued by everyone, and nobody has the will power to keep it in check.
Not true. That's just what Fox etal say to keep you in line. Have you bought into this? The "evil liberal" is exactly a Fox buzzword.
BTW haven't you noticed that big money is really in control, and always favors Republicans? Why would the super-wealthy favor them? The "best Americans" we can presume.
Well first of all this thread really isn't my cup of tea. It is emotionally charged and repetitive. It rehashes the same stuff as umpteen other threads.
But Hannity, Rush etal are not "buzzwords", they are spokesmen for a plutocratic point of view which many people take seriously. That's a concern for democracy and America as it "used to be".
Yawn. I am off to talk with people who think and don't parrot.
Go team! I hope your cheerleader outfit stays clean.

Silly post. Rush didn't go national until the late 1980s.
Liberal - Conservative divide was alive and well a long time before that.
You must be a young person (or out of touch) or you would remember the same divide back in th 1960s.... long before Rush arrived on the scene. And I suspect it started even before that.

Big money... like George Soros, Al Gore, Edwards, the Kennedy's, Alec Baldwin, Streisand, and thousands of other very rich people support democrats.....
How do you think Democrats raise hundreds of millions of dollars every campaign?
Yes, the Democratic party is the party of the filthy rich.

You would be shocked how much money companies throw to GOP lobbyists in DC.
You are right, some people are less fortunate. But I have always found the harder I work, the luckier I get.
What about the man who works his tail off for 30 years, gets laid off, can't find another job because of age discrimination and runs out of his 99 weeks of unemployment? Is he now lazy?
Hard work doesn't guarantee success.
