If you want to see what happens when everyone thinks the same,where the only viewpoint is "conservative", when the majority rules with an iron fist, just look at any Muslim country. Due to lack of critical thinking, creativity, personal freedom etc those cultures have been completely stifled for the past 1400 years. No new inventions, technology, books, art, personal freedom,nothing, not even modern toilets, a total lack of innovation and progress in every aspect of life.
I don't think that being anti-gun makes someone a Liberal, it just makes them anti-gun. It's not mutually inclusive.
As far as some people thinking that Conservative people are more logical ,and Liberals are emotional. Please explain this, most conservatives are religious, now, what could be more emotional than believing something with no proof. Something that science has proven wrong.There's no logic at all there.
What's logical about being anti-choice ? That's pure emotion.
What's logical about caring if your gay neighbor marries their friend ? What logic is that based on ?
What's logical about denying a single mom a couple hundred bucks in food stamps, but giving a huge corporation billions in tax breaks ?
Where's the logic in being against stem cell research ? What's logical about stifling science ?
Personally, I hold views from both sides, and I think that we all do. People don't fit into neat little boxes, or under labels. Demonizing people who you disagree with is stupid . At the end of the day we're all in this together.We're all Americans and we all want our country and our families,friend,neighbors,and country to prosper. To believe that someone is trying to sink the country because they don't agree with your views is so small minded. I listen to Rush/Hannity/Savage etc and to me it feels like they just want someone to hate, they want so badly to be the hero, the good guy, that they have to manufacture a bad guy,a devil. So they pick a word, Liberal and make that the 'they"..the 'other". Obama has been President for less than 100 days, now, what has he REALLY done that's so horrible ? Like Bandit asked, What freedoms have we lost ? What freedoms is he threatening ? I just don't see it.Where was the uproar when Bush/Cheney decided that it was ok to wiretap Americans without a warrant ? Now that's a REAL freedom lost, not an allegation that someone wants to do something. That's all I hear on the radio"Obama wants to do this,Obama wants to do that,Obama thinks this,Obama thinks that" ...according to the radio host, not to Obama himself.
Not accusing anyone here but it sure is funny how as soon as the black guy got sworn in people started running around like Chicken Little..."the sky is falling"....if the shoe fits,you know what to do with it.
One other thing that bugs me, people call a radio show and call each other great Americans.....everyone's a hero now. I served with some real great Americans, real heroes, and it bugs me to hear these smug, self congratulating clowns on the radio throwing those words around like they're cheap. If calling a radio show makes you a great American then I want my monument right next to Lincolns!
ok, My rant is done.
