Due to the liberal movement beginning in the late 1060's we have progressed to a generation of trophy kids who are disengaged from the realities of life and have this entitlement mentality

This is the part that always confuses me about conservatives, especially the "limited government" concept. It seems to me that conservatives want the government out of anything that has to do with their making money, but right in there about social things they do not like. For example, the most personal and private events of a person's life...THAT's where they want the government to come right on in. Freedom of choice.....conservatives want to tell half the population what they can or can not do with their own bodies. It is a woman's personal responsibility to make that decision. Gay marriage...again, a very personal thing, and once again...conservatives want the government to legislate morality. I just don't get it....No liberal I know fits the distinction you make.
No one is "attacking" those who make over $250,000...the issue is equity in PAYING TAXES, no redistributing wealth. I have no problem paying my fair share of taxes based on my income.
I guess there is way too much stereotyping going on in this labeling and name calling. This response is specific to the issues in the post....
