Premise: So-called Conservatives have sold out the American Dream; Liberals try to preserve it.?

Question

Neocons don't share America's core values. They don't share the founding fathers' values: Love of liberty; intellectual curiosity; progressive outlook; Liberal activism.

It's in people like Murta, Moore and Cindy Sheehan that we see the spirit of Washington, Franklin and Jefferson.

Limbaugh, Medved, Hannity, O'Reilly and Coulter are the oft-quoted cheerleaders for the new King Georges, the new fascist oppressors of America, the destroyers of the Middle Class with outsourcing and unionbusting, the cultivators of racial and cultural division in our society for their own ballot box profit.

Discuss....

Answer 1

well said. you took the words right outta my mouth.

Answer 2

You need to study history a little more before making bland statements like that. During the revolution the people on opposing sides Tories vrs patriots, as they are now called., Frequently burned each others farms and crops, killed each other etc.. If you really knew your history then you would know that Michael Moore and Cindy Sheehan would have hung as traitors. The founding fathers FOUGHT for their freedom, Benedict Arnold was caught by what would now be deemed an illegal search and seizure. I won't get caught up in what Washington, Jefferson, and Franklin would have said about today's liberals views on Religion. Spouting off at the mouth is easy, knowledge takes some work. Try working harder you are making a fool out yourself to anyone who truly knows American history

Answer 3

I AM a conservative and believe me, the Republicans have barely done a deed I agree with in many years!

I believe in what the founding fathers stood for and Republican and Democrat alike have spent every year since 1913 destroying the great experiment. The Republic of the Unites States.

Limbaugh and O'Reilly and Coulter would not have been out of place at a Nazi rally in Germany Circa 1934, and a re the chief cheerleaders for fascism within the USA. Meanwhile the Democrats are trying to sneak socialism in under any fashionable name possible. the USA Needs a libertarian (not liberal) Government to repair the damage.

Answer 4

For the Conservatives I don't think the intent is the same as the result. The trillion+ this boondoggle in Iraq is going to have a major impact on the American dream.

I don't think the three people named belong in the same line as Washington, Franklin and Jefferson. I don't think anyone around does.

The last group Rush.... exist in large part because the liberals have done such a crappy job of selecting leaders. Clinton in spite of his failing was a pretty good Pres but Gore and this last pair, Kerry and his running mate along with the current leadership could destroy a bowling ball with their combined stupidity.

Answer 5

It seems to me that Liberals don't even know what the "American Dream" is. As for Sheehan, I can understand why she is upset, but she is blaming Bush instead of questioning the actions her son made. He wasn't forced. I am a conservative and I haven't sold out anything. Have you bought anything? What values does a Liberal have, anyway?

Answer 6

You are absolutely right about the neocons, it is sad they have managed to hijack the Republican party. At least the liberals care about the people in their own country. I can't say that about our Republican leaders.

Answer 7

You need to put the mirror down and face the world you are backwards on everything you say.By the way the courts have no authority to make law or direct what should be law.They are only to interpret law.

Answer 8

It's a nice thought and partly accurate: Republicans would sell their mother (after preaching the value of motherhood), but ...

democrats just fumble it.

Venal, self-serving opportunist hypocrites vs. political incompetence.

Not much choice
