No because there are too many elements and lots of gray. We should be trying to come together because I think the majority of Americans are really not that far apart if only we can let go a little and really find our way to the heart of the matter. I think it matters if we want to do what's best for everyone. If we want to preserve life for a few privileged people then everyone gets what they deserve for not standing up for what is right and in all of our best interests. Are we a nation or are we individuals within a nation? Is it only about ourselves or is there a bigger picture?
1. Liberals and conservatives value hard work and initiative.
2. No one wants to pay someone to sit home and do nothing.
3. Liberals and conservatives want the free market to really work but right now it doesn't. It can't be relied upon because too many will cheat the system as is happening now. I learned early on that businesses don't care about people.
4. The U.S. will never be able to compete with China because they don't have our morals and values. They ignore their own laws. They cut corners at will. They pay people $1 an hour. They kill their own people when they feel like it. They make them work 16-8 hour days and live in a tiny room months at a time. They will eat anything.
If we want to move forward and have a better nation with promise for the future then we must focus on what we agree on and work from there. We have to be honest. We have to be willing to change our views or beliefs if the evidence suggests that it's in our best interest to do so. We cannot be so stubborn. We have to be smarter and more intelligent.

Sure we will. But the question is will people remember well enough who was on which side? Let`s go back about 150 years for comparison purposes. The conservatives supported supported slavery because it was the current political status quo which is the definition of political conservatism. The liberals such as Abraham Lincoln supported a gradual phase-out of slavery with compensation to the slave-owners but initially did not support abolition in the territories where it already existed. This is a classic liberal way of dealing with political reform by compensating vested interests for their corruption. The real reformers were the radical leftists who favored a fundamental change in the political status quo which at the time meant abolition of the slave-based economy. But getting back to your question "will we ever know who is right?" the answer is that we probably will but we will not remember because the political definitions we are currently using are so vague and confusing. This is because liberals and conservatives are currently controlling the discussion and have no other means of concealing the fact that they are both long-term losers and the people considered radical leftists at any particular time are the eventual winners.

1.Time, 2.Time, 3.Time, and the future will tell. #1 Time may be as soon as today. #2 Time may be as distant as tomorrow or 5 years into the future, #3. Time, well, that could be many years into the future, i.e., The Atom Bombs being dropped to stop WW ll. Today, Japan IS an influential Country, with a very valuable production output.
Only the future will be the ( CONTROVERSIAL) judge.
And YES, IT DOES MATTER.

Both Liberals and Conservatives can be right sometimes.

The issue is that people are not willing to discuss their positions, find common ground through dialog, and move from their comfort zones. As long as this is present, you'll fine a stalemate.

What if neither is right? What if being divided is just causing more problems. Why do we have to have two parties...why can't we use the majority opinion like a true democracy...visit dividedwefail.org.

None of them are right. Politicians are never right. They're corrupt assholes. Just accept it.

No one's right. It's opinion.
