Cool story bro, half the tea party is geriatric retirees who will raise hell if they don't get they gubmint check. They just don't like black people getting welfare, I never hear anyone complain about the trailer trash element of the welfare roll And you wonder why normal people hate Teabaggers, they use "classy" language like "*******," I don't find making fun of the mentally handicapped to be as amusing as you, I have more decency than to hang around Walmart mocking people with disabilities

As usual, you do a great job making yourself look stupid and contradict yourself

Your Dem party has done nothing to better this country in the last 20 years...... then again, neither has the Republican party..... which is why this country has fallen behind, and the quality of life has taken a huge hit for most Americans

..... and fools like you keep blaming the "other" side

Shouldn't this thread be merged with the thread entitled "Why are Republicans determined to destroy America?"?

I'm a little confused at to what the criteria are to have a thread merged, or what the criteria are for having one deleted.

Thank you for reminding us why right wingers are simpletons, sometimes I forget. I blame conservatives, we haven't had any kind of liberal president since Jimmy Carter. Clinton and Obama are center-right and as corporate tied as any Republican. A true left in America would go a long way in bringing this country back to its glory days. You don't see people in Norway or Sweden claiming their month long paid vacations and universal health care are awful.

When the right takes over, the country becomes the rich 1 percenters and the rest of America goes deeper into the third world. Look how well the liberal governments of Mexico and Brazil are increasing their middle class while the Obamney corporate raiding politicians on both sides get fat on their right wing policies while America rots

Or is it that conservatives just aren't bright enough to see more than a few hours into the future
Conservatives feel quite strongly that everyone should be proud and resourceful enough to stand up on their own two feet and pay for everything they need in life without running to the government to get it for free. It's as simple as that. Where conservatives fail so miserably in their philosophy is inspiring everybody to do just that.

Most countries that have had extreme inequality (feudal systems,etc) are trying to diminish it (e.g., Mexico). We are the only country in the world that is saying "Hell yeah!, let's make damn sure 5% of the people have 80% of the wealth, so they can buy all the lobbyists, bankroll misinformation networks, make corporations citizens, and dominate our lives in every way!" Oh, and those unions and government agencies that fight for living wage and provide campgrounds, national parks, nonpolluted water and air for the people? Kill them!! THEY'RE EVIL!!!!!!!!

So dumb it is actually kind of funny, and sad. I just have to think the uber rich are pinching themselves. They have these attack dogs who just need a pure diet of propaganda, and they will fight to the death against their own self-interest. You honestly would never believe any group of people would be so foolish for so long. Truth is stranger than fiction.

I see what you are saying, and culturally, I share this view completely. I can't stand layabouts, or corporate scum who fleece their fellow citizens. And I agree we need to have a cultural shame factor for those who freeload and cheat.

However, it is absurd to take this to the extreme where you start believing we need no government or that we need no regulations or fiscal and environmental safeguard. Conservatives distrust the government, probably with good reason, but they place blind faith in the ethics of the market, which has shown repeatedly it will create fraud, deceit, and dangerous products. Government is out tool to protect ourselves from enemies and threats at home and abroad. We need both government and industry, and all the rightwing demagoguery is just braindead daydreaming. Anyone who spews that crap has no place in congress or the White House. Laissez faire economic will never work, and it never has. We need leaders who will work to improve the system we have, not continuously bray about how they hate the government they so desparately want to control.

We've been so far from laissez faire economics for 60 or 70 years now that it hardly matters. All we do is go back and forth between Corporate Cronyism and Government Socialism. Really they are just 2 different forms of oppression and yet the elites get us to fight with each other about which one is better. It's all a big joke, and the joke's on us.
