Do you Republicans always want to hurt other people ? It sure seems that way.
The assumption that simply asking one to become an adult, be responsible for thier own well being, and to seek solutions from themselves is not "hurting someone".
Liberalism is the resignation to perpetual childhood in which one abrogates personal responsibility to the cradle of government support. One simply has to sacrifice personal liberty and freedom in exchange for the "binky" of government support. That is being a child.
Hate is bad. We should all be more compassionate and caring people. We should care about our fellow man.
Foolish, selfish people are always thinking of themselves and the result is always negative. Wise persons think of others, helping them as much as they can, and the result is happiness. Love and compassion are beneficial both for you and others. Through your kindness to others, your mind and heart will open to peace.-His Holiness the Dalai Lama
Kerby. I completely understand where you're coming from. I too am a compassionate individual. Now, there is a difference between helping and forcing your beliefs on someone. Furthermore, in order to help someone they have to want it. Not to go and throw religion into it, but I truly believe as well that God helps those that help themselves. For me though an easy rule to live by is treat others how you would like to be treated. Whether it's in public, or hear on a message board.
After reading the responses in this thread anyone can clearly see that the OP has made somewhat of a point; as evidenced by the hateful rhetoric that is, in general, disproportionately represented by one side of the fence.
I'm sure he thanks you all!.
Sorry, but the majority of the hate I see on this forum comes from the rabid left.

But, dear, it's not at all like you say. Liberals have jobs and do not live from the government.
It's the Republicans that sacrifice personal liberties for government protection from the 'bad guys'. Patriot act. Personal liberties are more than owning guns.
Childish is insisting to always have one's way.
Please don't hold your breath until you turn blue.

I stopped here..
Are you aware that Obama and the Democratic Congress not only renewed the Patriot Act, but claimed an expansion of powers under it?

Right.......................
The people who are on assistence (welfare, medicaid) are nearly all democrats. Why? Because the democrats support such a cohort with funding in exchange for votes. Those who "live off the government" are democrats for the most part.
The patriot act is for restricting the "personal liberties" of terrorists, who the liberals always seem to support. What American has been a "victim" of the patriot act since its inception? None.
What restrictions of liberties have the liberals demanded?
1. fairness doctrine- restriction of freedom of speech
2. restriction of gun ownership rights
3. increased buisness regulations through the EPA
4. restrictions on oil/gas/coal exploration
5. restrictions ownership of media outlets
6. restrictions on states rights
7. restrictions on inheritence (essentially eliminating the family farm)
8. mandates to loaning institutions to make high risk home loans to unsuitable borrowers
9. restrictions on the use of coal for energy
............... the list goes on. Liberals are for more and more government, which means fewer and fewer personal liberties.
