Why do democrats not believe in freedom like real Americans do?

Answer 1

You are saying that repuglicans are free to be pedofiles. That makes real sense, It is your president that is chiping away at the constitution and thus is chipping away at our freedoms. Most things that are claimed about democrats is just not true. Read this and try to understand that this is what democrats or liberals stand for and think for yourself for once.

From Wikipedia: Liberalism is an ideology, philosophical view, and political tradition which holds that liberty is the primary political value.[1] Liberalism has its roots in the Western Enlightenment, but the term now encompasses a diversity of political thought.

Broadly speaking, contemporary liberalism emphasizes individual rights. It seeks a society characterized by freedom of thought for individuals, limitations on power, especially of government and religion, the rule of law, free public education, the free exchange of ideas, a market economy that supports relatively free private enterprise, and a transparent system of government in which the rights of all citizens are protected. [2] In modern society, liberals favor a liberal democracy with open and fair elections, where all citizens have equal rights by law and an equal opportunity to succeed[3].

Many modern liberals advocate a greater degree of government interference in the free market, often in the form of anti-discrimination laws, civil service examinations, universal education, and progressive taxation. This philosophy frequently extends to a belief that the government should provide for a degree of general welfare, including benefits for the unemployed, housing for the homeless, and medical care for the sick. Such publicly-funded initiatives and interferences in the market are rejected by modern advocates of classical liberalism, which emphasizes free private enterprise, individual property rights and freedom of contract; classical liberals hold that economic inequality, as arising naturally from competition in the free market, does not justify the violation of private property rights. However, modern advocates of classical liberalism do advocate a heavier taxation on the corporation, as opposed to the current trend of the burden of income tax resting on the shoulders of the individual worker, as did the early classical liberals.

Liberalism rejected many foundational assumptions which dominated most earlier theories of government, such as the Divine Right of Kings, hereditary status, and established religion. Fundamental human rights that all liberals support include the right to life, liberty, and property. Liberalism has its roots in the Western Enlightenment, but the term now encompasses a diversity of political thought, with adherents spanning a large part of the political spectrum.

A broader use of the term liberalism is in the context of liberal democracy (see also constitutionalism). In this sense of the word, it refers to a democracy in which the powers of government are limited and the rights of citizens are legally defined; this applies to nearly all Western democracies, and therefore is not solely associated with liberal parties.

expensive Repub- oil embargo began under Jimmy Carter considering then we've had 20 out of 28 years of repub administration of the WH and or congress and that they've did not something to regulate our choose for potential, yet yet you are able to over look that and say that a democratic congress that has been in workplace for below 2 years is at fault. whilst it includes the conflict why is it taking see you later, 2 international wars have been settled in much less time. No little one left at the back of exchange into enacted by utilising your repub congress to maintain our college device yet exchange into on no account funded and has harm extra colleges than it help! And with John McCain possessing 8, 10,000 squarefeet Manson's and and fought to maintain unfastened plan rides on cooperate jets as perks would not be in touch with how challenging instances are. So what you will desire to be asking is have not THE REPUBLICANS shown THAT they don't sense THE soreness OF actual individuals? then you truthfully does not be the unintelligent form vote casting for McCain!

Answer 3

This is a dumb_ss, divisive question, meant only to provoke. I actually think that at the present time liberal democrats are advocating the retaining of more of our "freedoms" than republicans are. But I don't even care to discuss this with you any further, because, obviously, your "mind" (can something that small be called a mind????)is unable to even consider than someone else just might have a point.

(Speaking of points--I know you have one. If you part your hair right, it won't show....)

Answer 4

What do you consider freedom? You mean like occupying a country freedom? You mean placing our Soldiers in danger in a three-way Civil War freedom? You mean like not capturing bin Laden to go into Iraq freedom? Then you can have that type of freedom. I prefer what the dictionary says...

Edit: Gizmo - after Foley, I wouldn't talk about Democrats being "deviants" if I were you...

now i suggest you consider re appraising your question.

Answer 7

Why don't *Americans* believe in freedom anymore? The Republicans have done more to crush freedom within the United States than the Clintonistas ever dreamed of doing.

A pox on both their petty republocrat houses.

Answer 8

You have the right to believe that Republicans are Real Americans if you want. Try to get your Real Americans to stop molesting kids, creating wars and stealing taxpayer dollars to give to their friends. Good luck

Answer 9

I am a real American and I believe in freedom, and I have voted Democrat in every election since I was old enough to vote.

You don't know me, and our country is in no position for people like you to try to insult people like me. We need to be pulling together,

Answer 10

I'm not sure which is sadder:

1.) The possibility that you're really as dumb as some of your questions make you seem, or

2.) The probability that you believe you're being clever and/or funny with these questions.

But I'm voting for #2.
