i always get a good laugh when someone brings the 'my ancestors did this and that' into the argument, as if it somehow reflects on them too, and it's always something cool, like they fought in the war for freedom, never, 'my ancestors owned slaves'. just a random thought.
You can’t truly call yourself peaceful unless you are capable of violence. If you’re not capable of violence, you’re not peaceful. You’re harmless.
I accepted the binary party system. The end of all parties could be a century away.
I have never been a follower of a political party. Politicians are meat grinders and their constituents are the fat. It's like porn. The same thing over and over. I look at things at I see them and listen to my own shadow. Both sides have good point of views. Yet, I wonder when the nation is going to demand term limits. I am a staunch believer in the Constitution, yet there are people who want to draw lines through it. We as a nation show a weakness when using words to defame others. Bashing others for their beliefs plays into our enemies' hands. Yes, my views have changed but its no-one's business on a porn site.
I've grown more resistant to change. I don't particularly want any party telling me how to think, act or speak.
I've grown more resistant to change. I don't particularly want any party telling me how to think, act or speak. Politics is just too divisive. No wonder the country is so polarized.
The more I learn, the more my views change, and I will never stop trying to learn. I have views now that were abhorrent to me five years ago, and the views I held five years ago are abhorrent to me now.
Whether it has resulted in me leaning more the left or right, I'd say both yet neither. In some areas I'm definitely more liberal, in others more conservative.
I've also moved to a much more absurdist view of the world.
No, I still try to find and do what is best for the country as a whole, rather than what furthers the cause of one Party or the other.
No. I have been a rabid socialist from age fourteen.
It is interesting to note that the hippy generation of the 1960s seem to have mostly evolved into Republicans.
Are they desiring to protect financial security? Because Trump wants to cut Social Security and Disability, so that doesn't seem to jive. Maybe it's to protect investments. I can understand that. But Trump going after social security and disability really sucks. Especially considering he's asking to increase the military defense budget.
Became more liberal with age
No they have not. Born into a working class family, I have held those views and values of the Conservative party from when I can remember and still hold them today and I doubt they will ever change.
People become more conservative with age as they learn more. Not everyone learns more as they age.
Left wingers (socialists, communists) often resort to name calling to end a political discussion. (Racist! Fascist!)
In today's world, leftists are the ones trying to suppress free speech. (see Twitter/Facebook/Communist China)
In the USA, the KKK was like today's Antifa.....the violent wing of the democrat party.(See Senator Robert Byrd)
True socialist/communist societies fail, but the West is supposed to become more like them? (Venezuela, Cuba, USSR, North Korea)
My most left wing friends cheat big time on their local, state, and federal taxes, then lecture people about the the wonders of socialism, unaware of the irony (I'm not giving out their name)
Democrats today haven't been this angry at Republicans since Lincoln took away their slaves.
Left and Right wing people are equally horny.
I have friends of all political persuasions and sexual orientations and we tolerate each others views quite nicely, and share a lot of common interests, and have a lot of fun together.,
No,...my preference, as well my family, und most everyone I've ever known
have always felt immense Patriotism to our country, but have believed in a rather middle road political view,
liking only the best of all political parties,
und shunning all extremism (Socialism/Marxism/Nationalism) regardless of their Liberal or Conservative agenda.
Our past has suffered much extremism, by the hands of both political views, that we will never allow again.
I used to think I knew where I stood politically.......the middle of the road. Now I know where I stand. On the outside looking in. I am neither, conservative, liberal or middle of the road. I am apolitical and very happy being that.
