Conservatives believe that religion is a core well developed tradition and part of society that should not be removed.
Something like this cnredd?
Kelzie said:I was complaining one day to a much wiser friend of mine about why everyone wasn't socialist. It's for the common good, so why doesn't everyone support it? She said "it takes all kinds". If the world was full of people like me, than everyone would be so busy looking out for everyone else, that they wouldn't have time to look after themselves. There would be less inovation, because people would just be interested in the common good. On the other hand, if there was no socialists, or socialists at heart, than who would help the unfortunate up from the dust? Who would make sure that the single mother was able to feed her children? I am glad that we have a different opinion. I think the world is a better place for it.
Kelzie said:Actually, I was going to respond when you first posted this that I really agree with it (I think my foot was distracting me or something :mrgreen: ). It was kind of disturbing to realize that was what I thought. But I don't think that of all conservatives, only some. Like the ones who want to get rid of welfare because there are people mooching off of it. That's just plain heartless to me.
Billo_Really said:This is a good thread and kudos to the author. I personally think both sides need each other to work through their differences in order to survive as a nation.
I don't know what your asking me here?Originally posted by cnredd:
So do you have any worthy to place here?

I personally do not see much of a difference between Republicans and Democrats. They both represent the same class of people.
That is a very good generalization, IMO.cnredd said:Liberals think that the working man's dollars are being sucked up by greedy corporations...led by Conservatives...
Conservatives think that the working man's dollars are being sucked up by social programs and handouts...led by Liberals...

I definately think he is a puppet for corporatism. But I also think we are all, in part, responsible for this.This was posted, ever so eloquently, by dragonslayer tonight in another thread...
Bush's nose is now twenty miles long, he is a puppet for the corporatism and greed and has his strings pulled by those who don't give a darn about American every day.
I don't think they are led solely by consevatives, but they certainly do not practice a whole lotta altruism. As for the other, I am on the conservative side when it comes to my hard working dollars being sucked up by social programs. This is a hold-over from my days as a staunch Republican.Originally posted by cnredd:

vauge said:Liberals think that Conservatives are like sheep and willing to jump off a bridge if the shepard leads them in that direction.
Conservatives think that Liberals are like wolves trying to get them to jump.

Napoleon's Nightingale said:99% of politicians on both sides of the isle are influenced by corporations. You don't think corporations make big donations and spend resources on lobbying just for the fun of it do you?
cnredd said:I don't think the animosity between Conservatives and Liberals is contained only to their respective beliefs...but also to the way they are "perceived" by "the other side"...I posted this on another thread and thought I'd get opinions from the forum contributors about the larger picture.
My belief...disagree at will...add your own, but try to keep it on the up & up...
Generalizations forthcoming!...Parental discretion advised....
Conservatives believe that Liberals, while good intentioned, are ill informed and don't realize the hatred and lack of logic they portray...
Liberals believe that Conservatives are VERY informed and know EXACTLY what they're doing BECAUSE of evil intentions...
Conservatives believe Liberals have no plan and are working purely on emotional platforms...
Liberals believe that Conservatives have an all-encompassing plan and are working with no heart...
Nobody accuses Kennedy or Dean of being evil....just warped and clueless...
Nobody accuses Bush or Rove of being warped and clueless...just evil...
I could be wrong...
(I can't believe I'm going to say this....)Let's try to keep this thread a little civil...No "Cons are asses" or "Libs are bastards" comments...Let's see if we can get ten posts before it ends up in the basement...
I disagree with that!:2wave:128shot said:I think anyone who disagrees with me is a gift from god.
It always makes me question my own belief and research it again, and this a good thing.
