Taken together, those two statements are a damn good illustration how the two dominant political camps in the US think of each other.Lowing wrote:

Sure, if they have no interest in mathematics, and thus reality. It's all well and good for them to wish away poverty but every single attempt the left has ever made has failed disastrously. A God complex coupled with a lack of real understanding is what defines these people.Dilbert_X wrote:

Well first, you did not address what I actually posted. Second, sorry to break it to you but modern American liberal ideology does not lend a great deal of credence toward :Reciprocity wrote:

Speaking of mooching from society, Wall Street and the auto industry already did that a while back, and both parties supported Wall Street's mooching -- which costs us a lot more than poor people do.lowing wrote:
lol eerily quite. Notice none of the liberals want to come out and defend their govt. dependency, their mooching and their thievery from the producing class?

Granted, the auto industry's mooching is more directly tied to corruption involving unions.
To a degree, yes, but it also shows that conservatives aren't as anti-mooching as you're suggesting. Libertarians are the only ones consistently against mooching.lowing wrote:

govt bail outs is not a conservative trait. Conservatives ( who are not in power) by and large protested bail outs. Liberals by and large welcome govt. dependency and in fact adjust their votes to accommodate that end.Turquoise wrote:

I clearly said "who are not in power"...Meaning private ( conservative ) citizens were completely against the bail outs.JohnG@lt wrote:

Well, that's because he was a neo-con. The conservatives in this country championed him without even knowing what a neo-con is. A neo-con is essentially a liberal (meaning expansion of entitlements, interventionist economic practices, deficit spending etc) that is in love with the military and wants to use it to 'spread democracy'. They use social conservatives to get elected. Why? I dunno, could be the general lack of education among them and the ease with which they are blinded as long as a person remembers to thank god for whatever it is he accomplished, oh and wave his flag. Bush did both of those quite well and mixed in an aww shucks personality for bonus points. Neo-cons were radicals from the 60s, the difference being they believed in the Vietnam War.lowing wrote:

Well, so did a lot of his constituency. Neocons aren't anymore small government minded than liberals are.lowing wrote:

neo-cons are all about social entitlements as well. Hence, Medicare Part D.Turquoise wrote:

To put things in perspective, if you want to suggest that liberals and the poor are moochers, neocons and big business are as well.
That doesn't leave us with many people or institutions that can't be classified as moochers in some way or another.
to be fair I do not think it was merely "enough for them" more than they typical issue of being forced to vote for the lesser of 2 evils.JohnG@lt wrote:

It's amazing how small the percentage of the American population actually knew what it was electing. They saw 'conservative' in the title and that was enough for them.
