We breath the same air, we drink the same water...we have the same basic needs and wants. We are all human and deserve some respect....

Not a whole lot, except that we have different ideas on how our great nation should be run.

The prime differences is in our foundational philosophies. We believe in different solutions for the same problems. We define evil differently. Take "Smallville" for example. Clark's dad, Jonathan, judges Lex solely on his family name "Luthor." It might be that "labeling" makes it difficult for Lex to do anything right. It might be the sole motivation for him to turn sour, thinking that it is impossible to try to be good since he is genetically and inherently "evil" according to Jonathan. So who is the bad guy really? I am not a Lex fan, but you see how easy it is to change point of view? Why can't Jonathan be more specific when placing blame. This would better define the source and culprit of the "sins" he accuses the "Luthors" of having. Can a bad parent have a good child? Can a good parent have a bad child? Yes...and yes. We don't disagree on the problems (well, most anyway) so much as we disagree on the solutions to those problems. Just a few ideas to think about. Take care and have a nice day! :)

Liberals and Conservatives share a lot of things. Their philosophy on morality, government, and the economy differ. Each group can be summed up in one phrase however.
Conservatives believe that the wicked MUST be punished, or at least not rewarded.
Liberals believe that we are all responsible for one another.
You can look at any plank in either political platform and see how it is derived from these two statements.

Fine. So we do. We disagree on the issues. I want gun rights, I want partial birth abortion to be illegal, I want judges to interpret the law as written, I want a strong national defense that will crush the terrorist like a bug, I want to spread democracy across the globe, I want to kill Communism where it still festers like China and Cuba, I want low taxes and I want pro business and pro growth policies at the national, state and local level that will help folks climb the economic latter instead of waiting for a government handout every month. Are we all that different?
Yes.

I can say this about some liberals who spew hatred towards conservatives. I love the same things most people do like my family and all the important things in life. I am good hearted and compassionate but you would never know it because i have conservative views

We're not so different. It's just that you process things in a different way. I can't quite explain it. I'll never be able to. It's just that you're much shallower than I. You're so vapid that you can't see reality is all. Your head is so far up your *** as to NEVER taste reality, that's all. Apart from that, you surely deserve some respect. You surely have all of mine.

Here are just a few of the differences:
We think for ourselves...you follow.
We believe is self help...you believe in a government hand out.
We believe government is not always the answer...you believe otherwise.
We believe individuals know what is in their best interests...you believe you know what is in everyone' best interests.
There are more differences...but this will give you something to chew on in the meantime.

We have nothing better to do on a Friday night than to argue about things that are out of our control, such as politics and the government.
(((sigh)))
