You are a political bigot, obviously. Calling me a racist when you have no idea who i am or what i am. Republicans are not about the rich, whether you are independent or not you are believing the fool liberal line. Republicans want everyone to be prosperous, democrats want everyone on handouts. Then they can scare you into believing that Republicans want to take away your handouts. Democrats hate the poor, they only care in as much that they can win a vote from the poor. Republicans actually want the poor to succeed. The only difference between a political bigot and a nazi is the rules they use to split people up.
Political bigots label their opponents with labels, like racist, sexist, …ist, to make people hate their opponents. Then, like you, use that excuse to smear and abuse their opponents. So in a way you are just like a nazi. Nazis saw jews as less than human. You see Republicans as less than human.
Gives you an excuse for poor behavior. You may not kill people as nazis did but you use the same kind of reasoning. Anybody who is against you is automatically a racist. The sad part is, Democrats DO want everyone on handouts. The class war was started by democrats they have been attacking Republicans for so long with the stupid identy politics, which is what you really mean when uou talk about class warfare, that we are left with no other solution than to use the only language that they seem to understand to refute the lies.
It is democrats that are conquer and divide and want you to believe hat you belong to a certain class and need to behave as such. It is really stupid. It is a distraction from what we should be doing. Recognizing thst some democrat ideas are good some are bad. Some republican ideas are good some are bad.
If we recognize that fact then we can stop this nonsense and talk about the issues and actually get back to solving problems. But democrats are unehicsl and only care about winning at all costs. Then shutdown is necessary. If he was ethical he would do what is right because it is right and rhe actions would not changed based on wjo is doing the action. Democrats create class wars while Republicans sell out to the highest bidder. Sounds like the two work just fine together. Mitch McConnell needs to go. Paul Ryan is not much better. But Nancy Pelosi is a senile nightmare, and Chuck Schumer is a big baby.
We need new blood in our legislature. When they, both party members, have been there too long they begin to act like royalty, as if we owe them something.. That is why we need convention of states. Congress needs term limits also. Politicians on both sides and even the independents are starting to act like aristocracy. Corruption is growing and growing. Both sides have their dreck, who comes through that sieve is a rare minority indeed. I agree both parties are corrupt.
So why not term limits? But while most Republicans are the majority of the middle class who just want to be left alone to earn what they get and get what they earn, how can you say they sell out? Is your issue with capitalism? You sound too intelligent to be a fan of socialism. The people who need to instate term limits are of course the same people to whom term limits apply. I think we the people need to unite on term limits even if we fight over smaller issues.
My issue is not with capitalism, my issue is with our perspective in the United States. Less apparently, but equally as dangerous, Republicans seem to believe businesses can do no wrong. Selling out is simply the act of believing money is more important than intangible things like national pride or personal respect.
It has nothing to do with the government and everything to do with regulatory capture. And yeah, socialism is idiotic. By some measures we currently have a socialistic oligarchy, not a representative democracy. Ding-Ding-Ding…Ladies and Gentlemen we have a winner! Mekronid was hit so hard from all sides that his relatives felt it. Damn I wish I was here when this went down. You treat politics like a game? They never had to trick anyone into hatting people just tend to do so. The idea that the USA was ever united is an oxymoron.
In the end the winner takes all that is the natural state of things. The weak are trampled by the strong and there are plenty of layers of power to keep everyone fighting for centuries to come. Doing what Mekronid said, wanting to be prosperous? Am I safe saying you have nothing against minorities who want that, while espousing conservative, traditional values, ethics for themselves and their families? I have no party but even I know both parties are equally filled with problems, however as of late, for the past 2 decades most of the problems are coming from an extremely radicalized left state ideology.
Your ideology is a cancer that saps and ultimately destroys lives, lives that could be happy, prosperous, productive, fulfilling. The cancer must be eliminated. When did I say that was a good thing? You blatant liars who twist words are the real cancer. They refuse to do anything that would help the people they claim to care about, even when there are plenty of people ready to work on solutions right now. Ironically so much so taht without DNC support, there would be no ability to pass the policy you opposed to begin with.
But I very much prefer intellectual honesty. If you do — let me know. Unlike a certain set of political parties and their blind followers. Do you even know the true meaning of racism? He had to, other wise he would lose obtaining the votes from the black community. Republicans want to make jobs and that benefits everyone.
Please answer this, are the New Black Panthers pro-black? Barack Obama accepted endorsements from the New Black Panthers, would that make him racist? Michelle Obama has high praises for the New Black Panthers, what would that make her? The race card is weak now, it makes people who use it look like someone who wants to place their own short coming and failures on someone else instead of accepting responsibility of their own actions.
You started your rant with a false premise. You have NO leg to stand on when it comes to fact and truth. You said it, now own it, and you call me a coward. Yes, the GOP often denies that some of their candidates engage in racist causes. Are we done here? You suffer from imaginary racism. You use it to promote your own political views. It was you that just had to get racism in here.
For someone to be racist, they have to feel they are superior to everyone of one race. Imagined racism is merely a way to claim victimhood status, which is becoming increasingly popular. This victim mentality only serves to dilute the racial landscape so it becomes impossible to tell the difference between non-racism and actual racism. By overusing and misusing the word racism, people who actually experience racism probably have a less likely chance of getting the help and justice they deserve. The truth is no one cares enough about you to throw roadblocks in your or anyones path to success.
We must stop blaming other people for personal and cultural problems we possess the power to fix. There are plenty of people out there who would throw roadblocks into my path, whether it be intentional or unintentional. That is what it means to be free; you fight for it.
You can say anything you want. Actually, LP mentioned racism and I responded to his comment. Thanks for playing though! I only use canned responses on idiots. Nothing to do with being a liberal. I am actually very conservative on economics, gun rights, constitutionalism, and many other things. Also, Liberals are violent! We also respect the office of the President. Republicans are more liberal than Democrats. Libertarians are more liberal than Democrats. Socialists are more liberal than Democrats. If we ignore Democrats and focus on real liberals, then yes, studies show liberals have a higher average I.
If you choose to focus on violence then how about the last four wars?
Through the Eyes of a Concerned Liberal
All were started by Republicans. Trump is shaping up for another major war in the Middle East. Then conservatives are the liberals. Nobody actually calls them by their correct names; neoliberal and neoconservative. I am NOT conflating definitions.
DEPARTMENTS
Violent to others, as in other countries. How many wars have Republicans started? I know many of those wars were necessary to defend American interests abroad. Try Nancy Pelosi, currently minority leader of the house. Some of those high-ranking Democrats are hidden vipers. At least Republicans have the gall to tell the American people they hate the poor. Whether we like it or not, DJT has to and will have to make some pretty tough decisions for all citizens.
Another liberal loser who is probably submissive to his wife like most liberals. I think you have some dishes to wash and a welfare check to pick up. And prove your the real alpha. But of course, none of that matters to you. You just like being a hatemonger. You can not prove Washington is doing it for sure ,but I do think were divided right now.
If a house is divided against itself, that house will not be able to stand. So we see things like tax cuts, deregulation, and agency dissolution on the agenda with executive overreach. No, of course not. The problem IS too much government. If those views are antithetical to human rights then that statement is utterly false. Oh wait, liberals just want free stuff. I do have a job; I am working my way up. However, unlike you, I understand economics.
The current system is very much stacked against the little guy. Agreed but Democrats have socialist views and hate america. Either civil war prevails or America will collapse. Supply side for the win! I think that he means that the wealthy can pay the tax rate of a plumber and still have enough left over to play royalty. Have you ever looked at the tax rates for the wealthy? Now, who pays for the national debt? Average households do, in terms of lost services. But the tax law has ensured all of the burden falls on the middle class. The tax law will accelerate the U.
The rich know they cannot attack the middle class from the tax brackets alone so they got creative. All thanks to our spendthrift Republican party. Ever looked at the tax rate for the poor? When we give subsidies to the poor who are employed, it is a subsidy to the corporations who are unwilling to pay a livi g wage. Most people on benefits are working in some capacity. Instead of lookong at benefits as a non-worker taking from the workers, you should instead look at it as a corporate subsidy for wages that are too low.
E onomies need to be balanced. No one today in their right mind would ever argue that the Gilded Age was a stellar time in history. It was a very difficult time for the average guy to live unless you were one of the super rich. We have passed the income inequality of the Gilded Age. The conservative are so afraid of the workers sucking no,e. Inequality is at absurd levels. The republicans have bedn convinced by the rich that not one cent should go to the people.
It should all go the rich. Currently, statistically, all new income in America is now going to the super rich. NONE of it is going to the woekers, and the Republicans keep voting for the rich to have more. They have been duped by their rich overlords who can never be satiated! An economy must have people who have money in their pockets to spend. That is the root thing that keeps capitalusm going. When one person has all of the money, and we are gettingvery clise to thay im real terms, life is like a monopoly game and it is game over. Stop complaining about poor people. Start complaining about the rich having too much money and power over a drone else.
I want a balanced economy again where everyone can thrive. What is the purpose of an economy after all if not for that. That is where we are heading. Is there something wrong with a flat tax rate? You just spiked the ball at the halftime whistle. When was the last time you saw FOX News quoting a peer reviewed study? As far as fox accuracy. Most of that crap can be disproven if you have an attention span longer than a nat.
Most of the supposed inaccuracies are eventually proven to be false. Then CNN the same news channel who had been mocking fox and levin for believing that trump had been surveiled, got the leak that one of trumps team had in fact been surveilled. The irony escaped everyone except those of us who had been paying attention all along. Easy question to answer. No the point is that fox is only fake if you have no memory.
Almost every time people claim fox is wrong, through time and enough details come out and they are proven correct. BUT, and this is a big but, by that time MSM has already moved onto the next fake story where they claim fox is wrong until months later we find out AGAIN, that fox was right all along. Details almost always vindicate FOX. Though, if you have doubts about the veracity of any of my material, I will supply you sources.

I will, of course, insult you instead if you fail to read those sources. What am I supposed to do? They also have a few of their own AntiTrumps ado you get to see both sides instead of a forced narrative. The rest is the MSM CultMedia in all honesty does not believe tje citizens of the US are Intilligent enough to make their own decisions with all the facts so they only allow you to see one side of information. The most important person to watch is the Fox contributor Sarah Carter. The rich must pay more taxes because they have a lower expense ratio.
The less they pay the less money that remains in the economy for the rest of us. Economics is indeed a zero-sum game. Your comment demonstrates that you have no idea how economics works. But you have learned a few neat phrases so you can try to look smart about it. Your ignorance is again demonstrated by the absurdity of your comment, and by the quickness of your surrender. You failed to respond to basic questions because you are clueless. To embrace socialism is to ignore the history of its effects.
Sadly, I believe you already know it. Sigh, okay, I will spell it out. I will respond to everything else you said after you demonstrate that you understand basic math. Go on, you can do it. You will respond or you have surrendered. The truth is what you already have admitted: Break out the honorary degree for Mekronid! The starvation and oppression brought about by the system you embrace is alarming. You have demonstrated no understanding of even basic economics. You also fail in basic history. You ignorance is impressive.
Is it willful or are you just suffering from a nearly complete absence of intellect? You faux debate about percentages is a flaccid attempt to change the subject. In that case, you are no longer allowed to drive on my roads, because my taxes pay for those roads. Same if your house catches on fire, or if you have a heart attack. And if a corporation steals everything you own, well, my taxes pay for courthouses.
You just admitted defeat and started rambling about math. You know, I hate the commies. And I hate you for supporting their crusade against American culture. No, you are a coward because you changed the subject to something ridiculous instead of engaging in a debate. Are you an anarchist? I have a factually-supported argument.
You want to run away while putting your fingers in your ears. Why should I respond to such juvenile behavior? And you should ask honest questions instead of blind rhetoric phrased as a question. I asked the questions. Run along now, loser. Wow, you proved my point. Usually I have a harder time getting people to do that. This really is an easy debate. You failed to debate. Answer the simple questions I posed at the beginning of this exchange before your futile and pitiful attempt to change the subject and you can salvage at least a tiny shred of credibility.
Higher than makes sense by the real definition of fair share, and 2. Your too stupid to actually reply to his points. You just say something stupid. What happens when there are no rich? He made no points. What a simple comment compared to Mekronid. Obviously your out of your league when it Comes to economics. I learned a lot about real-world economies from that conversation. You said economics is a zero-sum game. You would fail Econ A zero-sum game is one where the gains and losses within the system are balanced in value.
Since fiat currency is system where value is ascribed to the currency based on communal and indexed valuation, economics is indeed a zero-sum game. This is simply because one side of the equation is not a fixed value but an ascribed opinion. There are plenty of RICH democrats. Almost every trail attorney and young lawyer I know are hardcore democrats. Ever gotten a wage from a homeless person, or broke? Ever gotten your wage from a rich person? Corporations and the government pay wages. Businesses are started by people. Corporations are just people who had a big enough idea hat they were able to sell enough that they could become big.
As far as government paying. Your not serious right? Gov does not pay anything. Taxes pay government bills. The gov has no money but what they take from you. As we are a gov by the people for the people the gov is you. So you pay the gov bill. Think about this, if there were no corporations, just how much money would be in the system to tax? By your logic, businesses also have no money but what they take from you. You can realize that the government produces just as many groundbreaking projects as corporations.
They had no corporations. But they were the first country to invent fiat currency because their tax base was too large to support with gold and silver exchange. No, You chose to buy a product from a corporation. By your flawed logic Ford corporation is taking money from me.
On the other hand I have no choice in what I pay for taxes. Ford corporation IS taking money from you. They lobbied congress to block the sale of trucks from outside the U. Actually, ever lived outside of the US? This happens to be the only country I have been in where a pick-up truck exists. That aside I have in fact seen Toyota trucks here so what is your point?
Ever heard of the Toyota Tacoma? Sigh… Just, look up the Chicken Tax. There are dozens of pickup truck models not available in the U. And you pay more on Ford trucks directly because of this tax. Are you really that dense? You are missing the forest for the trees. We have a business. If we set our prices too high then people chose not to come. By your flawed argument we as business owners are taking money from uou whether you come to our business or not. That is just plain stupid. You do not have a choice whether you are taxed or not. You do have a choice whether you buy from a business or not.
Not true at all. The big businesses set their own taxes and can charge whatever they want. Study the early s. The many monolithic monopolies and the people who died to form unions and the people who suffered greatly to break the monopolies after the stock market crash. They died and suffered so you could run your puny business. Your business would not exist if not for them. So next time you call someone dense and tout your business, maybe you should think about that.
I came from the ghetto and now im rich. You democrats are losers. Go work hard and become rich you loser! Trump is the best president ever and liberal losers, socialists and idiots like you need to be flushed from our once great country. At least trump is trying to make our steets safe again. What are you doing besides crying?
Surely you are not implying that no one should mention a study until it has been replicated? Replication goes to the strength of the conclusions, but does not make the initial study irrelevant and unworthy of consideration. You are talking to the wrong people. What about the science of racial differences? Is that a field liberals tend to be knowledgeable in? Thanks for being honest enough to share that very salty comment, Michael Mason — it really highlights a big difference between liberals and conservatives.
On the other hand, lots of conservatives are disinterested in those sorts of studies, preferring the kinds of biological racial studies that were popular in the 19th and early 20th centuries. Objects of study tells you a lot about the perception of problems. Medical researchers focus on disease in order to overcome them. Economists study market failures to avoid them.
Criminologists study crimes to prevent them. So why would white people want to study the behavior of black people in this way? They believe that the antisocial behaviors you see in ghettos are immutable racial characteristics. And to what end? What if all of your worst assumptions about black people are proven scientifically correct?

What is the answer? What does that information let socieity do, going forward? Presumably, you want that information in order to solve a social problem, right? So what would the solutions be? Racial differences certainly exist. To believe that genetic traits such as intelligence are distributed equally among all human populations is a pipe-dream that negates the very basics of Darwinian evolution. Within humanity, races that evolved in colder, harsher, northern areas such as Europeans and Northeast Asians, developed higher cognitive and creative abilities than races that lived in warmer places closer to the equator.
If a subspecies evolves in an area that is more difficult to survive, they become smarter. Subspecies that evolve in places that are easier to survive remain stagnant. Now, as for the modern day political situation in the Western World, you ask, if all my theories are correct, what is to be done? They want to turn America into a multicultural country, instead of the white European country that it used to be.
This is slow genocide. They want to blot out our race by diversifying our society to the point were miscegenation happens on a large scale and the coming generations get more and more brown. The establishment also has effectively reduced the white birthrate to below the replacement level with the use of feminism and sexually pervasive influences like homosexuality and pornography. We have a situation in America that is effectively reverse-eugenics if you will.
We have programs and an immigration policy that help the stupider, weaker segments of the population produce more babies programs like child support and welfare , and ideas that encourage the smarter not to have babies. Our government wants to turn this country into a third world cesspool. Because the government is indirectly controlled by a tribe of alien infiltrators who have long struggled with our people and have come to desire our total destruction. What is to be done?
Revolution; an overthrow of the government. The Republicans and Democrats alike are working for the enemies of our people. Our problems cannot be solved democratically. You may not take anything I say seriously, but in when the liberals get another traitor into the white house because they retain the minority voting bloc and conservatives fail miserably like I know they will… What will you think then?
The only way to prevent the United States of America from turning into a third world country is for white people to violently overthrow the government. They are the symbol of the pariah because they are widely held to be disgusting. You have no idea who I am, but right off the bat you start making assumptions about what type of a person I am. You have been conditioned by the establishment to assume that anyone with my opinions and ideas is a redneck who lives in a trailer park.
That is what is really pathetic. That you think you can make assumptions on my personal character and scorn me simply because my beliefs fall beyond what you have been programmed to accept. You have been programmed to think that only weak minded people have feelings of racial affinity. My God, western society has fallen far. I clearly recognize that most white people have been systematically deprived of their racial identity and love of history, kin, and culture. I am trying to re-awaken a healthy appreciation of western heritage, and the desire for racial solidarity in white people.

I base them off what I believe is right. Africa continues to be a failure because it is consistently being raped economically by the countries around it its own internal genocides notwithstanding. Racial affinity and the odd thing you are describing are not the same thing. It has been proven irrevocably that a baby of a particular race responds more favorably to those that resemble its mother. That is racial affinity. I dislike people too much to ascribe to that ideology.
You remind me why I dislike people. That makes no sense in reference to my home country, since we are a temperate country yet consistently remain smarter than the majority of you. With my inferior brown genes. I think you might be confused as to what survival of the fittest actual means, but it is the most adaptable creatures that survive. Anywho, I hope after 3 years you have come to your senses but I doubt it. Have a healthy life and try not to die too quickly. This is a science magazine? Just look at how Tea Party reps in Congress conduct themselves and how conservative owners of large businesses act.
Heck, just observe the driving habits of those who have Confederate flags or bumper stickers of conservative talking points on their vehicles. They are usually the ones cutting off drivers, not letting others merge and otherwise doing a hole moves on the roadways. Quit being a dumb redneck biased jerk. We already have one of those in the WH. Nice job silly guy. I do I agree confederate flags are bad ,and there is such thing as being too extreme on the right hand as is the same on the left.
However take note you have no evidence to back that the majority of studies are against this study. Now back up what your saying about the biased of this study with a single fact. I am more inclined to agree with BangZoom as of right now it seems your going off feelings. Come to Boston or SF and check yourself how liberals drive.
Most of my co workers at the hospital where I work are also liberal, make as much or more than I do and have 4 to 6 years of college under their belts. Maybe you should actually link some sources instead of typing in all caps. What a silly fool you are. LOL bipolar and off your meds it appears. What a fool you are. Phlebotomy is one of the tougher bars to raise in medicine. How long was your course of study and intership?
Perhaps next a Rhodes Scholarship? I wonder if you even work or rather spend the day playing video games in your parents basement while drinking cheap beer. I do not agree with his political stance, but there is nothing wrong with being a phlebotomist. The world needs all kinds of skills. Just imagine how much food we would eat if everyone was a brain surgeon. Liberals look at both sides with logic and understanding. Repulsive cans just shout and only consider one side of an argument regardless of how silly it is.
And why do you people shout so much all the time? Do lies require more energy to communicate? Makes me sad to have served a country with these types of people in it but that is what freedom is all about. Give me a break…. But thanks to replying to a post I made over a year ago. Actually, not really because he obviously missed the point of that Yale study and what it actually said. It may have been over a year ago, but you never know who might read it later, and be influenced by what they see. Well yeah, they think it snowing means climate change is not real. Clearly not understanding the difference between weather and climate.
A large portion of the data has been changed to get to the desired outcome. One reason it is a 1. The pills, capsules, and powders make up 5 percent of all grocery sales in the United States. Their profit margins, however, are about 10 times as high as those of food items. It is about the money and you wondered why it always requires more and more of your money?
It is not hard to deny climate scientist since most of the data is faked. The reason come down to research funding big dollars Science has become a giant info commercial that sells fear and for 1 billion I can come up with a solution. The solution is always more dollars. The other people want both taught: Luckily the 1st Amendment will ultimately prevent religious indoctrination from happening in public schools. Admittedly it will be touch and go for a while, but I have faith in this Nation. Contrary to what you believe, the idea that nothing exploded and created everything we see today is not scientific.
And the climate is constantly changing. Only because most Tea Partiers have been around long enough to realize that over the past 4 decades or so, most of the dire predictions of the doomsday scientists have failed. But you can go on believing in snake oil if you want. But if I were you I would spend a little less time following chicken little predictions and a little more time verifying whether they were right before or not.
And yet those Tea Partiers are stereotypically religious, and scientists are far more likely to be agnostic or atheistic, as opposed to the general population. As Admitted by Friggin Christian Apologetics. I attend or more accurately attended Tea Party meetings in NH and the topic of religion never came up ever.
There are more scientists named Steve that accept evolution then scientists that believe in Young Earth Creationism. I think when people get older they tend to slow down, and get a better sense of preparation and planning for the future. So their personal decisions start to become more Conservative. Go out drinking tonight? Have to pay my mortgage. Have to feed my animal. Have to take care of my family. Also Liberals tend to be idealists. Our first reaction is to challenge reality being Liberal and our second reaction is to change our expectations Conservative.
I was one of those: Now into my 40s, I finally turned around. If anything, I started making trips to my old neighborhood I had since lived all over the country, from Seattle to rural Wisconsin that I realized how irresponsible most of my old peers had been and how they lacked any sense of accountability and personal responsibility for how their lives turned out. But what I noticed consistently was their bashing of Whitey, their distrust of the police, of authority, that their poverty was cyclical because of government and racism.
I then knew that this defeatist attitude is what the liberalism I grew up with taught us to believe; that we would never amount to anything because society owed us. That is how I became a Conservative. I grew up in an impoverished neighborhood too, Mr. While keeping all of the best cards under the table. You see, white folks feel the need to try and undermine race relations with stories like this. Why are you deluded, your brain might be asking me. An anecdotal fallacy is when you use a personal experience or isolated incident as evidence instead of compelling reasoning or ACTUAL evidence.
White people love anecdotes like yours because it makes them feel better. You claim, since white people were nice to you and that you were able to get somewhere in life, all other black people must be either lazy or ignorant. Which is a stance many racists have. See the dangers of being illogical? As far as your claims that white people would never oppress other whites?
There is that Holocaust thing. Many other things you mentioned as well sort of irked me.
In my neighborhood, people struggled and strive to work. Wanted to speak better. Wanted to go to college. Wanted to make their lives better than they were. All in all, your comment was laughable, and painted people with very familiar broad strokes sweeping generalizations if that was too hard for you to understand. Enjoy the rest of your life and try not to trip over your own hubris.
Americans seem to have pretty large amounts of it. Did you grow up in the Bronx of the 80s? I skimmed the rest of your rant because it is just that; a rant. That book changed my life forever!! That is all I have to say. I think it is funny that you claim I am making broad generalizations, but you are the one automatically assuming I am Mr.
How racist is that?! Well, you should be proud of yourself. I sincerely hope your struggle will inspire others in the Black community which continues to languish relentlessly at the bottom of the societal ladder. Blacks need to learn what you learned. Good work, more power to you!!!!!
I found that to be true for myself. When I was younger I was extremely liberal because I hoped for us to live in harmony in some kind of utopia. I believe the best thing for us is to have a good balance of both ideals. Not too much of either one, but just enough. There was judgmentalism in the implying that liberal conclusions are reached after greater thought is given and that conservatives reach conclusion with less thought.
More intensive navel-gazing does not yield more informed conclusions. They then presume to pontificate on the conclusions of others and on things for which they are not burdened with the consequences of their erroneous conclusions. I can easily explain this. Do you think person who thinks for seconds is less sophisticated compared to person who gives answer after 5 minutes? Both the democratic and republican parties are authoritarian and both parties are conservative by definition.
They both support a system where the state plays a large role in what is acceptable or forbidden by the citizens both fiscally and socially. Sometimes its drug prohibition and other times its edicts to business. In the end, the difference between republicans and democrats rests mostly on policy and not philosophy. You are correct about Republicans but very much wrong about Libertarians. Libertarians are fiscally conservative. They believe in minimal government and taxes.
Free enterprise and citizens should decide best how to allocate the rest. Libertarian as you may be able to tell is rooted in the word Liberty or Freedom and that is the core principle. FDR was a democrat for example and embodied this exact. The farthest left wing democrats basically think the citizens ought to provide the government with the majority or all of their income and in return the government should provide them with everything they desire. When a government decides everything for you, that is not freedom.
If you want to know more about real Libertarians, go to youtube and watch the Milton Friedman videos that are available and you will be more educated on what Libertarianism actually is. You are greatly mistaken. This is based on my own experience and my own academic research. I am an independent critical thinker thank you very much. You should try it some time.
This is what indoctrination by college professors accomplishes labels and identity politics. Keep smoking your bongs. Conservatives are sick of liberals childish behavior. Conservatives would rather talk about issues than argue about who is more racist, sexist, fascist. We are tired of being labeled by racist, fascist, sexist little children that we are racist, fascist, and sexist.
Personally I am sick and tired of the banter. I want to get back to the days when we can see each other as Americans. It should not matter if you are a Democrat, Republican, or Independent. We should be able to see that each has something to offer, that sometimes Democrats have a good idea, and sometimes Republicans do. This is why you will never be as smart as conservatives.
Certainly they are reserved and appear responsible, but if you bring up actual economics or even something simple like the fuel mileage of a hybrid vehicle, they oust you from the conversation with harsh tones and rude remarks. Assuming you even get that much courtesy. It is what conservatives have been left with. We have been demonized by liberals for so long. Unfortunately the only language they understand, sadly, is identity politics. So i am now finally fighting fire with fire. We have just believed, incorrectly, for so long thst nobody could be stupid enough to believe lineral emotional garbage.
Apparently their nonsense has worked. Not because i want to, but the other side has forced us into this. Funny you talk about conservatives. Whenever i bring up actual data like the fact that GVM models have ALL overestimated temperatures, or fbi statistics showing crime rates. What is interesting is that liberals have been pushing a flawed view of economics for decades.
