I do not understand what liberal and conservative bias mean. Can you give me a definition of it and maybe an example?

When the state provides all your needs, why should you look for a job?

When will we come to realize that the “benevolent paternalism” of a generous government does more harm than good?

Decades of welfare-state coddling have created a permanent American underclass feeding at the government teet and voting for democrats to give them more goodies.

as " a (expletive, expletive) piece of paper!" ?

I've read that this is Bush's opinion of our Constitution.

Putting this in text with his open desire to be our first dictator (over 30 publicly recorded times) and his self declared title of "Decider", isn't it time we make some changes in leadership before this guy gets any more carried away?

I mostly base this on the Republican party, George W. Bush , and the documentary 'Jesus Camp'. I mean, it could'nt hurt. I don't think that this Atheist president would focus on changing the country religion to Atheism, I just think with all topics: schools,taxes, abortion, health care...he would have a clean slate about all the issues.I dunno...Makes sense to me.

The bottom 50%? They pay a paltry 3.97% of all income taxes. Are they paying their FAIR share?

"FAIR" there is that word again. Liberals can not seem to talk for more than two minutes without the word fair popping up. Apparently Liberals really want everything to be fair. But their version of what is and is not fair seems to be a bit skewed to many people.

Certainly fairness in taxation amounts to soaking the taxpayer depending on how much they earn. Liberals oppose all tax codes, which would truly be fair. Flat taxes, where everyone pays the same rate? Liberals do not like those. Consumption taxes, where again everyone is taxed in a balanced fashion? Liberals dislike that system as well.

In fact, the only "fair" tax code to liberals appears to be one which punishes success, and takes way too much of Americans hard earned money and places it in the hands of government.

Who Pays the Taxes;

One of the best things about being Prime Minister is meeting people from across the country and learning about the issues affecting their daily lives. It gives me a chance to hear your stories and respond directly to your questions and concerns. I'd like to give you the opportunity to do the same thing through Yahoo!7 Answers.

If you'd like to ask me a question, leave your answer below and I'll come back with some responses. I look forward to hearing from you.

My reasons are, they make outrageous claims in order to get votes, then, do nothing.
Also, there entire party is a contradiction. They want less government so they say, then time and time again vote for more and more government involvement in our lives.

I have looked some online, and I haven't found very much information. I am currently an associate's prepared RN and looking for an exciting change in my life. I would love to be a Navy RN, but from my understanding, I cannot because I only have an associate's degree. Also, if I do decide to go through with this, what kind of credit do I get for already being a Registered Nurse?
Thanks to all who answer.

Asian American, African-American, Jewish-American, This-American, That-American. Good grief why are these stupid labels necessary? And how are they supposed to bring us together when all they do is focus on our outer differences?

Liberals also oppose racism, sexism, thisism, thatism, and every ism ever known to man. Yet they fully support affirmative action, which awards people for being of a certain color, or gender, while penalizing members of other races or genders. Why is this?

...how exactly can any of you say your lives had changed since 9/11?? Assuming you didn't have a loved one affected by that day.
Personally, i think that statement is a complete crock designed to undermine anything we can do about it for left wing political purposes.
