Who are the real anagonists in the political life of America today?

Question

Is it really a political war between cons and libs or have the neocons managed to get us to fight with each other and ignore the real threat that they pose to our civil liberties, economic and environmental health....real conservatives and liberals have both evolved as time goes by, sometimes I have agreed more with conservatives on some issues, sometimes more with liberals...for instance, I thought Clinton should have been removed from office, not because of his affair, but because he lied to a grand jury....all my life I have respected the position of conservatives whether I agree or not, argue strongly, then go have a beet together, but lately the atmosphere has been poisoned.

Answer 1

Political bigots.

If you hate half the country, you are not of interest to me. You have divided this nation.

I am a democrat (not a liberal, not a socialist).

I do NOT hate any political party (I oppose some of their goals).

My country comes BEFORE my political party.

Antagonists? Political bigots and those who put their own ideology AHEAD of their country.

We may disagree on the direction the United States should go, but we need brakes and gas no matter what direction we are headed, and as a democrat who believes in:

Free speech, I must support republican talk radio's rights;
Freedom of expression, I must support fundamentalist Christians;
Equality, I must support white men as well.

I may find some things they do as contemptible, but THEY are not contemptible.

That one difference makes the whole game different.

Answer 2

ok, carry on a minute and take deep breath. at the beginning, the unique Boston Tea social gathering grew to become into protesting American's lack of ability to vote on taxes, not intense taxes. Secondly, the U. S. has a number of the backside tax expenditures in the worldwide (and is the reason our wellness care and education structures), so end complaining! in case you probably did not pay taxes, you does not have firefighters, law enforcement officials, streets, colleges, or for that rely, cities! and that i will wager you each and every thing I very own that there will be no revolution. There in basic terms are not sufficient (entire) crazies such as you in the U. S. (thank however deity you worship).

Answer 3

This all goes back to Limbaugh and clones like Hannity, Savage, Beck, Levin, and the many others that choreograph the same message every single day.

these people are tearing America apart. They are doing it for ratings and money and it is dangerous.

It is no longer about politics with them. It is not all about hating the opposition. Which of course breeds hate back toward them.

Answer 4

Lobbyists who buy and sell politicians like stocks.
