They believe that all liberals have lesser moral values. This is often hypocritical -- for example,conservative states have a much higher divorce rate then the rest of the nation.

Conservatives started a war that has killed thousand... is that good moral values?

Conservatives hate welfare even though there are many who need it - take for example a friend of mine who works 12 hour days. She has 3 kids, and needs welfare to survive.

Conservatives discriminate against gays... Is it morally acceptable to discriminate against someone?

Do these sheep really think they can fool the masses by using reverse blame.

Everyone knows that this was the Conservative points of view - ever since they lost the Senate and Congress in November they have been using this tactic.

They ran out of people to blame and redirect at so they just reversed their whole point of view and lableled their old failing views onto the Liberal

It is quite a funny circus to watch!

Didn't they learn anything from 9/11

Didn't they form the office of Homeland Security

And no one in that department or at the DoD cares that there is roughly 5,000 miles of open borders for a terrorist to sneak in and walk across with a radioactive bomb or a biological weapon?

Open Borders + Terrible FEMA Response = a lot of dead Americans

Is that a normal thing to say when swearing in?

I think he meant actually execute as in kill and no to uphold as it is meant to be stated.

According to the census breau, there are 35 million people in america classified as poor which includes a LARGE PORTION OF REPUBLICANS. For decades now, the income gap between the wealthiest, and the poorest is growing. Our nations wealth is becoming more centralized in fewer and fewer people's hands..

The whole idea of the america dream is an illusion. With hard work and dedication, the average american will not be better off than their parents. They will work longer hours, with less job security, and no retirement.

And yet the poorest republicans (maybe its lack of education) defend the tax policies that protect the wealthy. They endorce the politicians that set up policies that prevent that person from ever getting out of poverty.

Why do so many poor, protect and defend those who rob them blind?

Who said "Fear far more the media for they will destroy you" or similar words. One entry in Google suggests it was Mark Twain but it did not look authentic. Can anyone confirm or correct?

I know that people use words as insults without any understanding of their actual meaning. But considering Mussolini’s definition, what distinguishes Fascism from other forms of Collectivism? Fascism was obviously opposed to Marxian Socialism but so was Fabianism and Titoism. Stalin’s Socialism was in stark contrast to Trotskyism. It is foolish then to define “Socialism” by its adherence to the principles and philosophy of Karl Marx.

If you have ever bothered to gain an accurate understanding of Fascism, can you explain what separates it from Fabianism (UK), Solidarism (France), Maoism (Asia/Latin America), Soviet Communism (Eastern Europe/Asia/Africa/Latin America), National Socialism [NAZI-ism] (Germany), Ba’athism (Syria/Iraq) or Democratic Socialism (USA)? Some of the States advocating these views have since passed but the ideologies remain intact.

So why do Leftists, repeatedly utter the “Fascist” when the ideology of the Fascist is more consistent with Leftist ideology?

Not to mention that Al Qaida has been reported to be stonger than ever since before 9/11. Sounds like Bush has been a grand failure in his job as Commander in Chief. What say you?

I realise that 'sexual deviant' and politician have become almost synonymous. Is it just the British labour government? It seems every week there's some kind of scandal and it doesn't affect the careers of those involved in the slightest.

I did. Yippee!!! I can't wait until I get to retire and all of my "benefits" from the "trust fund" will be paid to me!! Yippee!!

I called to opt out of the program, they said I would be arrested. Why? I got out of this thing where I gave 10 grand and a guy said I would get back 20 grand if I found five more people to give 10 grand. That's how Social Security works, right?

What do you think about the USA funding the IRA. The UK was dealing with terrorism for decades, and the US were partly to blame. Then when they're targeted, all of a sudden the activities that they were funding for decades are wrong. Is this because they came to their senses or because they can dish it out, but can't take it?

I'm interested to hear the views of any Americans. Can you justify it and, if so, how?

I'm not holding a grudge against the USA or Ireland (I'm quarter Irish), but I don't condone the slaughter that was caused by these two nations.
