Question for liberals. Conservatives please answer too!?

Question

I have two questions here if you are a liberal.

Why do you think government proposing silly laws helps us?
For instance, smoking in bars. In California, a liberal state, you can't smoke in any bar anywhere. You think because you, the only one out of ten people that don't like the smoke thinks the whole bar shouldn't smoke. Don't you want freedom? Shouldn't the bar owner be able to decide if the customers should be able to smoke in the bar? In my opinion, it's all about what the liberals want, not anything about anyone else.

Why do you bash President Bush so much? You think he wants to go to war? We are going to war to protect our freedom here in the United States.

Why didn't you all bash Clinton for going out and having s*x with a 20 year old female.

Why do you not respect our President? Even though conservatives didn't care for Clinton, we didn't go try to bash him and..... We respected him as a President. Why don't you all do this?

Who voted on impeaching him? The liberals or conservatives?

It was the health administration? Aren't those the liberals that think oreo's should be banned because they didn't know that they could get fat from them?

Answer 1

I don't know why liberals want all these regulations. Didn't liberals used to be the people who said "Anything goes!"? Now they want to control everyone. Political correctness is another attempt of control - it is thought police. Read Tammy Bruce.

How can anyone think Bush wants to be in war. We HAVE to be in a war to protect our very way of life which the Muslim Extremists want to destroy. Who isn't pro-peace? Of course we all want peace, but you can't stay out of a war that will end up bringing a real peace without these lunatics.

Answer 2

Well,
Get your facts straight. Less than 20% of californians smoke. If non smokers are in a bar it is impossible to not be affected by the smoke of the 20% that smoke. Now I will grant that of people that hang out in bars, probably more people smoke than the general population. I don't smoke, I don't care if others smoke but I don't want to smell the stink. BTW smoking ban is not a liberal or conservative issue. I think you will find that it is pretty close with about the same % of support for smoking bans in both camps.

Why do liberals bash Bush so much? Becuase we love the USA and want to protect the freedoms that our troops have fought for. I served in the USMC. I served to defend this country and its freedoms. That why I support the right of dissenters to burn the Flag. That why I support the people leading the charge in the courts to stop all of the illegal actions of the Bush adminstration. But the opposition to Bush isn't just liberals. Colin Powell resigned becuase he could not serve a President that was foollish and immoral.

Clinton was a Good President. But he did some stupid things. But I would rather have a president that is screwing 20 yr old interns than one that is screwing the middle class.

As for conservatives respecting Clinton get real. The conservatives bashed him constantly, spreading lie after lie. I always thought it was strange all the lies they spread about him. I mean the truth was already bad enough. (He was having sex with interns.)

Answer 3

1) Smoking causes cancer. Exposing workers in bars to cancer makes no sense.

2) There is real accountablity that needs to be held for an elected representive. There are very serious acts of constituinal voilations going on. If we remain silent then everyone loses.

Bashing happens, just as the eight years i had to put up with clinton attacks. to be fair and honest you have to admit the attacks on him were much more intense.

Did i say eight years i mean eight year to now........it never ends.



3) He made a mistake, do i hate him for it or bash no. I see it as something wrong he did to his wife, but ultimatlely a family and private issue.

for example, if the issue is sex then it is not really my buisness. if the issue is morality...then the bible says he who is without sin toss the first stone....

Bush is making errors that deal with policy, with adminstration, with lying with over reaching constitutional limits.
these are not the same as a moral issue of sex, these are actual crimes against the people.

we can disagree about the morals, but the law is the law.

4) It would be dishonest to say the Right wing respected him.

I personally don't hate Bush.

Respect is earned, he lied to the people of his country about war......war where young men and women die leaving families and childern

war where people die...inoccent people.

That and he makes a mockery of the presidency....

Answer 4

The whole smoking thing has nothing to do with a person being liberal or conservative. It's just not healthy. Ask your surgeon general.

Bush wanting war? The eveidence is everywhere. Have you been living under a rock? Fighting for peace is like
screwing for virginity.

Maybe YOU respected Clinton as our commander in chief while he was in office, but the republicans never let up on him for one single second while he was in office. They spent his entire term trying to take him down. That seems a tad bit disrepectful to me.

Clinton and sex? Noone that I know of has ever died from a good screw.

Respect Bush? How can anyone respect a guy who lies about everything, lacks compassion and could care less if Americas sons die fighting a war he and his cronies lied us into?

Give me a break. Maybe YOU personally respected Clinton while he was in office. But the republican party spent his entire term trying to take him down. I find that a tad bit disrespectful, don't you?

Answer 5

To answer your last question first--I did my share of bashing Clinton for his stupid sex escapade. However, how did this harm the country? And in what world does impeachment show how you respected him as a president?

OK--smoking laws. Smoking is also banned in those crazy liberal states like Georgia, Texas, Hawaii, Minnesota--and those lefty countries like India, Germany, the UK. It's not a liberal agenda, it's a health agenda.

Why do I bash Bush? Because I feel he's hurting America. I love my country. And yes, I think he wants to go to war.

Answer 6

I agree california is the nanny state and that is not right ,we should have enough brains to make our own decisions instead of the government doing it for us,if you are familiar withthe constitutiion and declaration of independence and the pledge of allegiance you pledge to the the self representing republic for which it(flag) stands , and it is our duty as americans to make sutre just that happens instead of sitting back on our ignorant asses like sheep respecting and believing everything a politician does for us and impeaching a president for a ******** is most definately bashing when no one is crying to impeach a president who was appointed by the senate,in others words dictator, and who is violating international laws ,we are now the biggest terroristsin the world and keeper of the gulag, go to human rights watch.org and see for yourself and bill clinton was the bastard that ratified the amendments to make this tortureokay cause democrats are just sneaky undercover republicans, they take the same money from the same lobbyists and look out for the same corporate interests and this is where our system must be corrected to diminsh the corporate powers that be and put the interests of the people before those of corporations, and it will take both democrats and republicans to have the balls to correct what is wrong together, cause attacking each other resolves nothing

Answer 7

1.tobacco should be more illgal than mj. at least marijuana gives you the giggles. but the gvt has no right telling me either should be illegal. 2. I love gwb, the man is brilliant. I cannot fly an f16, i couldn't earn a mba from Yale, I couldn't manage the Tx. Rangers, I sure couldn't run texas, and he has made some really brilliant decisions as president. Clinton , I prayed for the entire 8 years he was in office; cause that is what Christians are commanded to do: pray for your leaders. There were times i really didn't want to though, cause he stood on the shoulders of geniouses (regan and nixon) and shouted what would happen if he was elected pres-- KNOWING HE COULDN'T MESS UP WHAT THOSE GIANTS HAD SET IN MOTION IF HE TRIED, and he did his worst.He nearly succeeded, but got out just in time. His house of cards colapsed onto gwb.. no! I did not respect BillyJeff Clinton.

Answer 8

are you naive and dumb? the conservatives tried to impeach Clinton for not saying he had extramarital sex. they wasted millions of tax payers dollars on Kenneth Starr to investigate and prove that he had sex with Monica Lewinsky.
Bush is having a hoe down with Condilezza Rice and where are the moral wielding conservatives to impeach.
Bush has done far more underhanded things than Richard Nixon the only difference is conservatives control the senate.
As for freedom that you speak of How do you protect someones freedom by taking other people's freedom? And if i recall out of all the terrorist how many were from Iraq? None.

As for the smoking if i showed up to a restaurant where you were eating smoking marijuana would you complain? hell yes.
And when you smoke in a restaurant you are violating my right to enjoy my meal, and on top of that smoking is hazardous to everyones health that includes non smokers also.
Finally California voted for a republican Governor.

Answer 9

I love it when nutcase conservatives say they never bashed Clinton. Rush Limbaugh put a picture of a dog next to Chelsea Clinton and asked the crowd "which ones the dog".

Kenneth Starr spent millions of tax payer money backed by the conservatives to nail Clinton for a Hummer.

Bush Lie's and sends troops in Iraq to steal Iraqi oil but Clinton gets nailed for a B.J.

If Bush wanted to protect our freedom then why was he going to hand over our port security to Arab country's linked to terrorism?

Bush gets caught wiretapping his own people. Spy's on Americans banking habits. Monitors what we check out from the library and the books we buy. If your keeping score that's 0 for freedoms and 3 for a big brother state.

And as for respect. Bush has set records for the lowest approval rating since O.J Simpson's approval rating. Nobody hardly likes this nut. If you want to know the real Bush from a registered Republican than you can go to the web links below for some real good stuff. And remember conservatism is dead.

Answer 10

I'm a conservative. First, I am so glad that smoking is being banned almost everywhere in California. I can't stand the smell of smoke, it wreaks, smokers wreak and anything in contact with them wreaks. As to your second of 2 questions, I agree with your viewpoint, we fight terrorists there or we fight them here. On the third of your 2 questions, Lewinsky was the least of Clinton's evils. Whitewatergate, deciding not to grab Bin Laden when given the chance, the Foster murder, blatant evidence tampering and so on and so on. And to the fourth of your 2 questions, what?!!! Are you kidding? Where were you, we bashed the hell out of him. Don't you recall a little episode called impeachment? I'd say that qualified as a pretty good bash.

Answer 11

You sure told it like it is and I'm glad. I'm a conservative and I never bashed Clinton as I have always had respect for our Commander in Chief. This stuff going on today almost sounds anti-American and makes us look bad to the rest of the world. As far as smoking bans in bars, I think it is almost communist that an owner can't allow smoking in a bar as the majority that goes to bars, smokes! Plain ridiculous and this is not the America I grew up in thanks to people trying to ruin things for other people.
