America is about to lose much of the charity it gets from Catholics because Democrats are trying to knuckle them into something they disagree with.

Every time Democrats hope to make things better (from their perspective) they make things worse.

In keeping with the topic of this thread. Why are Democrats so dissatisfied with America?

Democrats can't answer. Everyone is just fine the way they are. Keep your fingers out of everyone's business.
If you need help I would gladly help you even if it was my last dollar. I was taught that by my mom.....always help those in need even if you are struggling as well I know some think planned parenthood is an abortion mill but they are a godsend for poor people and those without insurance.
And please don't get me started on the catholic church. How do you think they afford their charity.....from their parishinors.....people like me

Liberals are dissatisfied with America when we see that banks that defrauded millions of their life savings and took their homes away are propped up with our tax dollars, while the wealthy speculators who caused the crisis have not been brought to justice.

Yes, there are still many reasons for liberals to be dissatisfied with America. Fortunately, there are also many of us who continue to work for the day when this great country will fulfill its promise to all Americans.

you do know that being liberal at one time was more equal to being Libertarian and not democrat. so most of what you say is true, it is just that it was not the democrat party was responsible, but more so the liberty minded people.

Liberals/Democrats think they know what is best for everyone and so seek to control everyone's life, how much money we make and can keep, where we go to school, what kind of cars we can buy, what kind of food we can eat, etc. They're control freaks.

So, why are Democrats Dissatisfied With America?


And when will Democrats finally be satisfied?
Because we still have people retarded enough to believe a magical man created the world in 7 days and that a 2000 year old fiction book has the truth about the universe.

I have never heard a Republican on here say they are satisfied with the state of the country and President Obama and since you posed this question, say that you are satisfied with this country and President Obama.

I have no problem with equality for all races. Even back in those times when blacks were discriminated against I was opposed to that and I wouldn't want to go back to that black time of the past. However, there were many good things that were much better back then compared today. You seem to want to riducule the good things about the past. By the way, people still make snow angels today. So what was your point? Sounds like a lot of underlying resentment of a time when white people were more of a majority. We weren't all racists, not by far.
I think the point was that we need to keep working to improve our country. It doesn't matter where you are, you have to keep your intensity to maintain it? How many high school athlete keep their edge even to 30? Use it or lose it.

The democrats have compromised a great deal with the GOP since the Reagan era, but it is not reciprocated, the far right wants absolute power, and when they win a victory, they want more. Like all fascists. It is absolute power they want. I am not saying all conservatives are like that, but the Tea Party caucus has shot off the rails with their hard right turn. It is too much. We don't need to take an axe to our government in a recession with the boomer retirements preparing to hit like a freight train. We need rational, generous, and competent bipartisan service from our political leaders. The GOP congressmen are so busy going down on Grover Norquist and Rush Limbaugh that they don't have time to do their jobs. And I guess their supporters don't expect any more of them. I am pretty dissatisfied with that.

1. There is no such thing as the "democrat party".
2. Feel free to prove to us how pure food and drug laws, child labor laws, legal support for unions, Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid are libertarian ideas.
3. Most of the programs I refer to were created and supported not just by liberals but mainly by Democrats. In fact, Republicans continue to try to abolish Social Security and Medicare, and people around here who call themselves libertarians continue to argue that antidiscrimination laws are illegitimate.
