Well, I am sure the poster realizes the "self reliance, personal responsibility, and free market" worked well in Spring Hill, TN, with GM and Saturn. The town was pretty reliant on the Saturn plant and then GM closed it because people were not buying their product. It hurt Spring Hill greatly by knocking several hundred people out work at the plant as well as all the trickle down money from them to other businesses.

Is that one closing and it's effect, the same kind of disaster magnified thousands of times the same thing you would have wished upon the auto industry if Pres. Obama had not provided money to the auto industry?

ever notice how many of the Obama supporters (not just this forum) always choose to be in the attack mode? They wait for one of us to post then instead of discussing what was posted will immediately begin to discredit where ever possible. They will attack the resource quoted, they will attack the author, they will attack the individual, they will throw a dozen other issues in that have nothing to do with the post and of course the ever present cutesy (they think) name calling.

The next time one actually answers a direct question or offers something constructive in a DISCUSSION will be the first time.

How about a simple example? How many times has it been asked if some one is here from another country and they are here illegally, is that OK? Simple enough question....never gets an answer.
Or how about the question of if someone is not a valid voter and they are registered (somehow...like the dead) are you OK with that. Never an answer.

And so on and on.

Ridiculous thread - no value whatsoever.

What sort of value do you need? What bigger purpose beyond the simple exchange of thoughts and ideas do you require?

You could always read a good book instead.

The Obama campaign ads are beyond the notion of "inaccuracies"

The Obama campaign is propagating and promoting blatant inexcusable purposeful lies.

It's a contrast that maybe is beyond the comprehension of the leftists.

It's apparently acceptable for the right to lie about the left.

Ohhhh, what a timely comeback. :shrug:

And yet you are taking part in it. Makes me wonder why.

How about I give you another glaring difference between the left and right side of the ideological aisle.

Conservatives, or the right, are more patriotic than liberals.

Conservatives are more apt to focus on the positive things about America. Liberals, in contrast, focus on the negative.

If the first thoughts that come to your mind when you are asked about America are “slavery”, or maybe “imperialistic,” or the lament of our history of “unfairly using too much of the world’s resources,” you are probably not a proud American.

Conservatives, in comparison, remember how we saved the world in WWI and WWII, and take pride in the innumerable ways we've contributed so much to the planet, and believe America has had a tremendous positive impact on history.

The conservative view produces love of country. The other view produces a deep seated dislike of our nation.

This is also why Conservatives are happier than Liberals.

There is no difference between them. They both are out to line their pockets and to hell with the rest of us.

I never lie. Here's another example.Over the years my american legion post will vist Hines V A Hosp. and go to spinal cord injury ward.We bring tee shirts, socks,tooth paste etc also money and play bingo make sure each and everyone of them gets some money.Want to know how many from the left over the years have come?Count them on 1 hand. We also on thanks giving bus recruits from great lakes naval base for a day .We feed them have a shuttle bus take them a movie or bowling and we film this and send a dvd to their parents.again other then 1 couple not many from the left have come.I have invited plenty to come and help all no shows.Even when my son went in the army I could tell the difference between the two.Response from most dems how could you let him do that I would never let our child do that.From the right ,You must be proud or how nice I will pray for him etc.

So many words come to mind when I read the posts from the righties - condescending, egocentric, delusional, holier than thou, angry, jealous, self centered, selfish among many, many others.

Your negativity as evidenced by this self righteous anger illustrates all my points beautifully, and I thank you for that.

Perfect! When you cannot win on the issues; demonize!

This is a fun thread for me. Here's another one. Conservatives are results oriented, Liberals are not.

There's one constant to remember about liberals. Liberalism is nothing more than childlike feelings applied to adult issues.

This is why liberals don’t care or worry very much about whether the programs they advocate work or not.

Proposing government programs isn’t really about actually helping people; it’s about making Liberals feel good about themselves. It's not the results that matter, but the thought behind it that counts to Liberals.

On the other hand, conservatives are totally results oriented. This is why Conservatives tend to be so down on government programs, which are inevitably slower, more expensive, and less effective than the private sector at pretty much everything.
