Question

I am talking without childish-name calling, intellectual debate..etc..PLEASE tell me there are.. yes, I am waiting for the smart remarks that I usually see posted. Do you not feel somewhat unpatriotic just the slightest by the blather? Please, do it for the country whether you disagree with him or not, write letters, e-mail ..etc..PLease don't throw this freedom of speech stuff again, it is about UNITED(even if it just means stop showing the world how stupid we look.(both sides included I should say)

I actually am leaning towards Independents, but I knew it was comming, sorry about your self control issues as evidenced by your comment, shut

My question has been answered, you have resorted to playgroun name -calling. Which is why you get a bad rap. United can mean express your opinions in a dignified manner, but, nevermind........

mother, do you teach your children such names?

Answer 1

I was raised in a predominantly democrat state where most of the upstanding citizens wanted reduced crime, better schools and a good future for their children. For the past 15 years I have lived in a mostly republican region where most of the upstanding citizens want reduced crime, better schools and a good future for their children.
I am a union loving liberal. I respect President Bush and admire his father. God bless America and all her leaders.

Answer 2

The answer to your question is yes. I know many liberals who do not like the President's policies and state their case rationally without hyperbole and epithets. However, there are also a fair number who seem to be unable to express their feelings without resorting to the lowest common denominator. Both of these situations are not limited to liberals though as I see many Conservatives who engage in the same behavior. As a general rule I tend to try and overlook the name calling directed at the President considering it a matter of free speech whether I agree or not. What I do not like by either side though is the habit of denigrating all people who disagree with their position as though this were a valid form of debate.

Answer 3

It appears that some liberals are talking about George W. Bush the way some conservatives talked about Bill Clinton...

Personally, I believe in our right to express displeasure OPENLY regarding all aspects of government, including the executive branch.

For example:
The way I see it, Bush is nothing more than an inarticulate, slow-brained tool who has ridden on the power of his family's coattails (and name) most of his life and is capable of nothing more than a 'bumper sticker philosophy' of life and government. He's the quintessential 'wealthy redneck'. The only thing that keeps him from spitting and scratching his manhood is a gaggle of PR reps and handlers.

(Note: I am not a liberal or a conservative, nor am I a Democrat or a Republican. I'm Independent: No party and issue by issue.)

Answer 4

Liberal, Childish, who is involved in name calling here? Liberal is a slur for progressive, childish is a reference to immaturity and/or lack of intelligence. Further, the comment about unpatriotic, lets just say that according to the founding fathers of this country, your attempt at repression is unpatriotic, not the other way around!

So if and when you want to have an "intellectual" debate, you must start by showing you are capable of the intelectual part!

Answer 5

Silence is complicity...and I do not want to be complaisant in this war or torture.. So I do what I can to enlighten the sheeple that believe everything they see on the 6 O'clock news..I an only encouraging thought.

Answer 6

I am a liberal and I respect the president as a person. I do not respect his job performance, however. What he is doing around the world is doing more damage to our national image than those of us blathering about what he is doing around the world.

Answer 7

There are plenty. Probably not in the politics section of Y!A, because a site like this attracts stringent voices, on both sides of the aisle.

Even our so-called "independents" around here are extremists.

Answer 8

Is Obama watching out for the high-quality pursuits of the American People by means of providing the cheap of close to $four trillion, that is such a lot obviously NOT close to double the sales of the United States? Yes.

Answer 9

I consider myself fiscally conservative. I do respect the office, but not the man. I am insulted by Bush's behavior. I do not respect a man who says one thing and does another. He has lost my trust.

When you say we should be united in order to put up a false front, you are insulting me, too. When things are being handled poorly it is my duty to speak up about it.

Answer 10

Yes
