Libral values? What does Americanism have to say about it, [please read detailes]?

Question

A great man once said,

"Americanism means the virtues of courage, honor, justice, truth, sincerity and hardihood- the virtues that made America. The things that will destroy America are prosperity- at-any-price, peace-at-any-price,safety-first instead of duty-first, the love-of-soft-living, and the get-rich-quick theory of life." - President Theodore Roosevelt

another great man said,

"Ask not what your country can do for you- ask what you can do for your country."- President John F. Kennedy

Yet this is what the Liberals values are, soft living, get rich quick, peace at any cost, safety first, what can my country do for me? theory of life...

This is evident by people that have an engineering degree in Lazyness, mooching off of the welfare, while the elderly and the new citizens struggle to make ends meet...

This is clearly seen in the Democrates. Their only goal in life is to complain about the America's situation and blame Bush for everything.

They say bring troops home, cutt and run, leave mass confussion, just let the midle East crumble back into the dark ages, forget about American security, don't investigate that suspicious man, he is a Muslim, that's descrimination.

I'm glad Britian knows how to "discriminate" or there would have been another 9/11...

Don't defend our country, peace at all cost... negotiate with terrorist madmen with nukes..talk our troubles away... ignore the problems in the Mid East and blame Bush for everything, no plan for America, just get another president...that is popular and leads America into one of History's greatest short lived civilizations.

allow flag burning,let Americans be anti American. If you hate America so much just go to France,you are not wanted here.

I'm glad our forefathers had it in them to defend their values,I'm glad they were not lazy and eager to be worthless,I'm glad that a many of soldier has died so that I may live in freedom.Tell me,what of our kids future?

Democrates of the past had some values, Democrates of the future, not so much... but I cannot speak for everyone...

Notice I did not state all, I am not trying to put Librals in one pile... just trying to make a point...

If you are a democrate what is your solution?

I'm just tired of the anti American Librals, you know the bad ones....

I am not trying to insult anyone, just trying to understand how someone can be an American but yet hate America and do nothing for the nation.

Ok my spelling sucks a bit... I'm not very good at typing... I am a beginer at typing...it has nothing to do with my age or anything else, I was in a hurry and it is very late, cut a guy some slack.

And Theodore's words do contain the word "Americanism" literaly,

But at least I have some common sense, and am not ignorant of what America has become or turning into.

Answer 1

Modern Liberalism is the absence of values. As far as the Democrats are concerned, they were pro-choice about slavery, also. What do you think the DixieCrats were? The republican party was established apart from the whigs over the issue of slavery. Of course, most democrats either don't know this, or don't want the word to get out.

Answer 2

You miss the point. Also you have no clue about Bush and his cronies. Read some. We have a $9 trillion national debt, we as the working class will pay for the Republican war in Iraq $2 trillion over ten years. Iraq is in civil war which will last 10 years. Iran will control Iraq in the end no matter what we do. Iraq hates Democracy. It can not be installed there, they prefer a "Islamic republic" like Iran. We spend $500 billion on defense. The New Orleans people are still waiting for Federal funds promised by FEMA and Bush. The Sept 11th attacks were the greatest failure of our Government to protect Americans in our history, Bush and his cronies are failures, Bush was told by PDB they would use planes to attack and Bush was told the terrorist were already in this Country. In America we fire failures.
Now just stop taking my taxes for Government failures and you will not need to worry about liberals.
BTW, no leader on earth would attack Iraq after they surrendered and put down their arms, none other than Bush.
No leader in the world lies with every word from his mouth, other than Bush, these are not the deeds of a Godly man. I said that.

Answer 3

Actually, you indirectly bring up a great point:

The government should invest A LOT MORE in the public education system. Maybe some of that money we're currently investing on defense could be used to increase teacher salaries.

I mean, by reading your post I see a complete lack of regard for grammar, spelling and logic. I'm not sure how old you are (I hope you're still in Elementary school) but it becomes almost impossible to understand what you're trying to say while having to translate the question from Stupid to English.

The very few points I can make out from your semi-logic are that liberals are lazy, unamerican softies whose only goal is to complain about life. I would have to say that's a very unfair and biased assessment of reality.

Maybe tell your father to type the question for you? I think we'll all benefit from better understading it.

Answer 4

Does soft living include spending half of every year vacationing in Texas?
Democrats don't blame Bush for everything, just the 95% that he is responsible for.
Who was Democrates, a philosopher? Did he preach libral values, lazyness, or just poor spelling?

Answer 5

Wow, pretty insulting words to people you don't really know. I am a Liberal Democrat who does disagree with the direction our country is going. Absolutely I do. We are a greater nation than we are showing.

I agree with you about Teddy. He was one of our greatest presidents. But Teddy also believed that the government owed something to its citizens. He also exercised his presidential power to curb rampant Corporate Greed and he stood toe to toe with some of America's fiercest early industrialists.

And dude, I have worked hard my entire life and expect to continue doing so. My Liberal Values are love of my God, love of my Nation, love of my family and a hope that my government will embrace its primary role as chief protector of its people, its infrastructure and our natural resources.

And welfare seems to be favorite target of the right, which is too bad, because if you check out the daily DOD contracts, you will see where this nation's real welfare recipients earn their living...oh and they do have engineering degrees.

Answer 6

Well, I'm a big ole liberal and I don't believe in soft living get rich quick peace at any cost. I have many other goals in life than to complain about America's situation and blame Bush for everything. I want to own a house for one - thats a goal. I don't blame Bush for everything, he doesn't exist in a vacuum. American greed was well underway before he came along. If you want to talk about get rich quick, why don't you look at some of Bush's policies? They look to me like get richER quick. Look at Haliburton - no bid contracts in Iraq, look at EXXON's record profits while we struggle to pay for gas. Whats wrong with being pissed about that? Whats wrong with being pissed that young people are dying in Iraq to support the wealth of Bush's family and friends? You talk about the love of soft living - look at the family Bush came from - you don't get where he is without connections and that is soft living, not working for what you have.

Answer 7

Did you even read the quote from Teddy Roosevelt? "The things that will destroy American is PROSPERITY AT ANY PRICE, PEACE AT ANY PRICE, SAFETY FIRST, etc. This is what YOUR president is doing right now?

As far as your stereotyping Democrats as lazy, you need to quit sitting in your little rosy home in the suburbs and take a look in the inner city. No jobs, no economy, the refusal to put money into the inner cities by employers, and no schools that will teach kids that want to learn. People want to get off of Welfare, but what are they to do? The person who gets off of Welfare gets a job, but Welfare will take away there daycare, their healthcare, and assistance to pay bills. Want to know what happens? They are in a worse spot then when they were on Welfare. If you want people off of Welfare, then find incentive for them to get off and stay off.

Now, as far as you thinking that your taxes are going to people on Welfare. Well, 1% of your taxes go to people on Welfare, but 7 - 10% of your taxes go to Corporate Welfare. That would be to businesses that don't need the money, but are willing to take it anyway, even if they made a profit.

I do blame bush. Why? What the hell is he doing in Iraq instead of handling domestic relations? Terrorism you say? He admitted Wed to reporters Saddam had no ties with terrorism. Why is he there?

You need to open your eyes for once and think for yourself, instead of always running to watch Limburger, Coulter, Hannity, and that other moron O'reilly.

TO THE GUY ABOVE ME: Personal experience? So you were around during the Civil War? Get a clue. The Democrats of today are not the Dems of today. Do you see the Whig Party anywere? Or you know that from personal experience....

EDIT: And whose fault is it we are in a mess with Iraq? I'm so tired of hearing "cut and run". How about trying to save the lives of our valued American Soldiers? You talk about not finding a solution? What gives you or the president the RIGHT to place our Soldiers in harm's way because he doesn't want to look foolish! This country is in a Civil War. What are our Soldiers gonna do about that? They are in the middle and losing their lives for it! Want a solution? GET THEM THE HELL OUT OF THERE!!!

Answer 8

Liberalism, Novus Ordo Seclorum, Annuit Cœptis !!!!

Answer 9

You characterize liberals and democrats based on what the republican party tells you. They do not paint an accurate picture.

Soft living and get rich quick? Where I'm from, that person would be much more likely to be registered as a republican!

Answer 10

i think of which you have an absolute stunning to experience the way which you do. individually, i think of hugging, protecting arms, or perhaps pecking one yet another discreetly is very properly. yet something overly extra basically seems impolite and insensitive to those around you. it somewhat is in elementary terms elementary courtesy to do extra private issues whilst the two certainly one of you're on my own no longer outdoors in public. properly it somewhat is my ideas besides. tell him why you experience the way which you do, if he particularly enjoyed you, he might admire your opinion and not stress you to do something which you're no longer delicate with.
