The difference between liberals and conservatives - Public

What is wrong with wealth??? Sure beats poverty!

What went wrong was not wealth or the goal to create a wealthy society, it was the people becoming so morally unfit that they pursued a life of exploitation and wealth skimming, calling it capitalism.

Which is why so many, especially the young, have no use for capitalism.

Just because those are the definitions, it doesn't mean that plays out in reality.

The "liberals" (aka Left) want to grab guns, restrict speech, impose government only positions in education, retirement, healthcare, etc. So, in a sense, yes, liberals want to toss out traditional freedoms and values and replace them with totalitarian, socialist ones.

Conservatives on the other hand want to continue to have individual freedoms, limited government, and individual rights.

Another well said post, made again in response to one of Lefty's semantic fallacies.

The big thing that went wrong with America is that starting over 100 years ago too many decided that the accumulation of wealth was worthy use of a life, which is insane. It demonstrated that we have become a more shit quality of human than our ancestors generally were....the builders. Moderns Morons became exploiters, and then destroyers.

Buckle Up.

Carnage, Rockefeller, and many other extremely wealthy individuals, but those two in particular, decided later in life to devote much of their wealth to creating good for society. Carnage built public libraries for example. Since then, many wealthy individuals have followed that practice but over time it has become corrupted by their becoming more involved in politics than altruism and the public good. Soros is an excellent example of this. Even the Koch brothers at least funded things that were neutral like the PBS series Nova.

But good was then defined as what the society generally agreed was good, now the wealthy often use the wealth they have skimmed to change America by force, against the will of the people.

That's because they can manipulate big government to help them do it. 100 years ago, big government, like we have now, didn't exist in America. That was pre-FDR and government's power was limited. The wealthy were on their own as to how far they could go on things. Now they can collude with government to do all sorts of shit they could never do on their own, and usually with bad results for the population at large.

No, it is because they along with most of the rest of the society are narcissists, as they have been trained to be by the Victim Culture Cult over the last 70 years. The Bus Ride to UTOPIA project is sold as being all about others, but it is actually all about MEMEMEMEMEMEMEMEME.

How many cliches can the Hawk squeeze into one sentence?

I've seen him/her/it do even better than this, actually.
 
I am using highly original terms rarely to never used by others, the opposite of cliche...the claim is Anti-Truth.....which tends to be lie.

The WOKE lie constantly, they dont give a fuck about the truth, or us.

Just for clarification, Hawk,

would not giving a fuck about you be some sort of transgression for a person of character?
A sin of omission, perhaps?

What suggestions would you offer to help a so-inclined person to suddenly give a fuck about you?

This would truly be a stern test of your imagination.

I dont make a habit of spending my time with either idiots or liars.

That is so wrong. Conservatives are good little soldiers who follow orders. That is why Trump rules their thoughts and actions. You follow orders so well. Conservatives do not care about school shootings. They care about guns. Thoughts and prayers, not legislation.

...annnd the usual nonsense from Nordberg.

DEMOCRATS want people to be mindless slaves that follow orders. Conservatives want people to benefit from their own successes, be responsible for themselves, and to support a government that holds to these ideals. Such a government is a republic, or government by law (a constitution), not by men.

Trump made a damn fine President. He is no God. He is no King. He's made some mistakes (most notably underestimating just how far Democrats are willing to go in overthrowing the federal government and State governments).

To say that conservatives do not care about school shootings is ridiculous. Democrats WANT school shootings. They dance on the graves of children every time one happens. They don't give a damn about children.
They WANT 'gun free' zones that allows these monsters that DEMOCRATS created to attack schools with virtually no challenge.

I see that the article politely avoided the issue of insanity and stupidity running rampant in American MAGA conservatism, BP, while those qualities (although not totally absent from the American left) are far from being the dominant trait they are on the right.

Okay.

Far be it for me to mention it.

Which, of course, he DOES. Here's Frank doing his usual 'everyone is wrong' thing.

Naw, I don’t see that, especially in the context of the epidemic of mass shootings.

The right places their right to own any weapon they choose above all else. Even when the leading cause of death among children and adolescents is guns. The victims of gun violence are merely statistics and are nothing more than collateral damage that is acceptable in order for those conservatives to retain their weapons.

Here's domer making up numbers again in his effort to ignore the Constitution.
