Electing a liberal so wrong? Read:?
I would just like to say that I love the USA. I think it is a great, nobel and a country that has over come near insurmountable feats.
Why are Americans in love with guns? I do not carry a gun, nor will I ever. I know that when my day comes, it shall come and I shan't interfere with the natural occurrence of things. I fear death, but shan't try to fend it off by killing another Human Being. Republicans and Democrats lie so often to the people that elected them and the people seam to be content with it. Why? Their press is just a collection of pretty computer images. In the British Press they will disclose every last bit of information. They do not fear being reprimanded by someone who wishes to sue them. Why must it be so that Americans can't admit that other countries have helped the world too? Have Canadians not discovered insulin? Has France not drastically cut its' green house gases? Has Japan not innovated in every technological field, too?
Why is it so that patriotism in the USA is a joke. You are not Patriotic if you believe that everyone should carry a gun. Guns kill, obviously. You are not patriotic if you lie to your people. Why is it so that constancy to faith must oblige politics in every regard?
You are not patriotism if you think it is warranted to occupy foreign, sovereign nations.
You are patriotic if you would die for your country, not kill people for no proper reason. I would die for MY country.
Why do Americans flock to any one who promise 'greatness' in the form of aggression. America is a great country they do not need aggression to prove this with 'sticks and stones'.
The extremes of all things are bad. Communism crumbled. Firstly because Communism are jerks. Second, the ideals the possessed were obscene; They took all the private wealth and nationalized it. 'All' of it. Damning Human's natural desire to posses more.
The extreme of the right will fail too. If you don't take any of the private wealth your nation shall crumble. The poorest citizens should be forced to pay for everything.
Family Values? Preached by politicians that commit adultery is hypocritical, no?
Controversy should be accepted in a country that preaches a wide spectrum of ideals. Europe has become a great society and when a US Senator goes, al be "presumptively", to greet the Men & Women around the world that will enable him to solve the problems that his country faces isn't a Sin. When a Woman Stands up and fights complacency that isn't a sin. When a man stands up and has the ambition to crush and suppress progress that is a sin. However, taxes aren't a 'grave sin'. Charity is the greatest gift that we can provide to society. Taxes take those who don't wish to be philanthropist... well, it forces people to oblige dignity in the most noble of ways. Isn't is sad how Americans are forced to live in a society that thinks that greed should be sanctioned.
To be in a nation where being a Liberal is a sin
To be in a nation where being a Republican is a sin
To be in the nation that promises equality to be distraught with it's being content with attacking people based on their skin colour, eye shape and ideals. That is all to common in the USA.
These were all rhetorical questions.
Americans, why must you be afraid of change? Being a liberal isn't wrong, nor is being a conservative. There is a time and a place for both.
Isn't it time for a Liberal to lead you in your country? You mustn't be afraid of Change. Must you deny you posterity of opportunity. Must you resort to the "old ways"?
Shouldn't You try Liberalism for a time, then, change back to a Conservative?
Why, Americans, are you so against Liberalism? I know they have made mistakes, LOADS OF THEM! They need a chance, don't they? Now of all times.
Why is Obama so wrong?
"I was the son of an immigrant. I experienced bigotry, intolerance and prejudice, even as so many of you have. Instead of allowing these thing to embitter me, I took them as spurs to more strenuous effort."

You're talking about lot of issues.
Some people think that gun control means no more guns and some people think that means more control. I don't know when it is going to be defined that. I think that people can have guns if they WANT but I don't think they must be sold like candy at any supermarket to anyone who just want to buy them. Real guns are not toys, they're a responsibility like driving. An AK-47 for a civilian???
Republicans and Democrats are two faces of the same coin and think about themselves. I still don't see any difference.
About news, I check many news sources from the world and compare. I don't think USA is isolated from this world.
Patriotism means for me that you care about your country but one thing is your country an another thing is the government. Governments and his followers want to make us believe they're only one. Some wars can be justified but Iraq invasion can't. I think that every country should mind their own business and get help only if they ask for.
I agree with you about extremes: They're bad. You can take good points from both sides.
I don't trust and politicians who brag and talk about family values. They do that in order to get votes. I don't believe in "Do as I say and not as I do". I don't believe in double standards and I don't think democracy means that you can think what you want as long as you agree with me yes or yes.

i think carrying a gun should be a person's choice. i don't like the government telling me what i can and can't have. guns don't kill people, people kill people.
pray for peace, prepare for war. we need to stand up for what's right and protect those weaker than us.
i have issues with people who don't work. and no. when i'm older i don't want my taxes buying some bum drugs. i think welfare should only go to the elderly, children, and the handicapped. everyone else can sink or float. their life is in their own hands.
people should donate to charity ON THEIR OWN FREE WILL.
again. no one can make me do anything.
i'm all for being a good christian. but that's because i want to be. not because someone makes me.
i'm not scared of change. i'm scared of BAD CHANGE. and sweetheart, there is such a thing... a liberal.
i'm your age. young and bliss too. i'm not blinded to reality though.

Well, I disagree about con artists, but regardless, they've had more than enough of a turn to screw up my country, so it's way past time for the pendulum to swing all the way to the left.

Let me get this straight you do not have a gun, you believe in the natural occurrence of things, when you are older and have a family make sure they understand you will not protect them they are on their own, if someone breaks into your house, rapes your wife and murders your children this is just a natural occurrence and that is that. Liberalism is a disease your rant proves this, you believe you cannot protect yourself, conservatives believe in self reliance and taking personal responsibility. Have hope when I was young and had no responsibilites I was liberal, now I do have responsibilites, I grew up and am very conservative, hopefully you will mature also. Good luck

The trouble is that liberals believe they know what is best for everyone even after they are proved wrong.

Conservatives love their Guns and Bibles. It is not only ironic, it's damn hypocritical.
