is it me or are we down to name calling?

Question

two points I have

the Democrats are calling the republicans Noe cons and nasties. the Republicans are calling the democrats liberals and socialist. lets get it over with and have a dang civil war or have a street fight. there are other good {meaning bad} options. there calling each other Nazi's basically. when will I need pop corn and a fall out shelter. pop corn so I can watch the hole dang show.

the other thing the republicans are calling the media liberal and all I hear from air America is that the news lies and are commercials. basically when are there going to need protection for news men in the Constitution.

I know this is allot to answer

Answer 1

it started with name calling and it degenerates into insults.

it is already a show, it's called "hannity and colmes". but the truth is... we are all our own people. every single person you meet that can distill their beliefs down to "i'm a ____" is fooling themselves.

i know for a fact that i don't agree with even 60% of the party i typically vote for. i assume that's probably true for everyone else as well so i don't tend to react to the labels so much. however, when you post a question or an answer, you should take responsibility for what you say. when i see someone express something i think is evil, i can't tell if they're being sincere or not... so i let them have it as if they are. i feel sort of gullible doing that, but i don't know any of you, so i can't tell when you're putting me on.

as far as the media goes... i think they are out to make money mostly. so that means they defer to what is popular. criticizing the government (contrary to what you've heard) is not usually the most popular thing you can do. i don't ever find the press particularly liberal, though they have their moments. they are still harping on the clinton's marriage because some folks are obsessed. i don't think they all get together and decide to lie to us, but they're a little fast and loose with their stories. the money is in scaring us apparently.

you know what though? this has always been a risk. just try to figure things out as best you can. the protection in the constitution is for speech... a press is just a copy machine. there may or may not be any truth is what's printed; that is for you to find. there shall be no protection for people who will sell the truth to the highest bidder.

Answer 2

Actually Neo-Conservative and Liberal are real philosophies, not insults. They get used that way, sure, but they are not in and of themselves insults.

The whole Nazi - Commie thing really ticks me off.

I cannot STAND people complaining about the media. This is simply all in response to the bringing down of Nixon. It was perfected by Bush 1 - they intentionally used the myth of liberal media so that every criticism could be called a lie from a liberal media. RRRgghhh.

Personally, I'm just sick of weak-minded people who have to rely on insults and generalizations, instead of relying on knowledge, passion, and evidence to make a point.

Answer 3

Don't forget dummycrats...oh you don't want more names...you want an answer...
We are WAY too caught up and polarized by our political parties. I am and I admit it. The democrats who voted for the war are still complaining about it because a Republican is in office and it is not popular right now.
We should do what is BEST for America - not our political party. But that won't happen anytime soon and I have a strong bias against the liberal media.

Answer 4

America needs to wake up and face the main problem, which is the way this country is being run by BUSH and CORRUPT PEOPLE WHO WORK FOR HIM ! And start listening to the facts and forget all the opinions on here and the news!! America is a great country and it is such a mess now. The country is so split right now, and they forget the government works for us not their party and Corp America !!! How many of yopu write to your Senators and congressmen for change. The fact is the country is been going down hill since Bush has been in office and this is FACT!!!!

Answer 5

There is talk by some in Texas again of trying to push for going back to being an independent republic. I have to be honest, it might be the best thing. Our political system is all but collapsing under the weight of the 2 party system and all the power and money it concentrates in few hands.

Answer 6

i even have self belief that it extremely is a tragic place while those issues take place. i'm very virtually useful that each and everybody human beings, even after "starting to be up", in no way extremely do advance up except something re-mark-able knocks them right down to earth and certainty. of direction, i'm speaking relating to the teasers and phone callers. i'm in basic terms particularly plenty an uncomplicated guy, yet while i substitute into being picked on, I remember attempting very annoying to no longer provide them "delight". It did injury maximum the time, yet now i comprehend the thank you to enhance my young infants. I tell them to "seem" on the guy in total, no longer partly, because you are able to truly appreciate a greater true friendship this style. all of us are actually not appropriate, i'm sorry which you had to bear that, yet you will possibly come out the greater guy or woman by applying coaching yours what to no longer do. i will not be able to remember the place in Europe, however the adult adult males might collect 'around and surely vie for the biggest nostril award, tape measures, calipers, and all. possibly in Italy? will not be able to remember, yet you shoulda considered the girls on their palms, I toddler you no longer!! must you be the guy, and start up off something like that the place you reside? Cool!! Be completely happy with what God gave you.those peeps are insecure, you're actually not!!

Answer 7

How about THIS:
The bi-partisan system is no longer viable in this country.

I myself refuse to ally with either party OR any newcomer.
I simply vote for whoever seems to be the best fit for the job.
Unfortnately, tha sort of power is very crrupting, and all newbies are eventually "bought".

Answer 8

Well, It's true the media is very baised. I've been to iraq and the American media show NONE of the positive side of this mission. They only show what they want to show. Anyway I think alot of people are misinformed.

Answer 9

Republicrats and Democans are all the same, and they're following the same agenda. The name calling and muckraking is just a distraction while they erode our constitution and try to take over the world. "Look at my left hand so you can't see what my right is doing."

Answer 10

Name calling and hyperbole have been a main stay of American politics since the country was founded. Nothing is going to change that.
