Hello Kacper,
Cheap shot.
I maintain no such double standard. Your characterization is inaccurate. I am not putting down people. Huge error on your part. I am not here to talk about other posters. I argue positions, point out flaws in opposing arguments. I do not believe that all opposing posts are insults, nor have I ever claimed such. I appreciate the conservative position which opposes big government on the basis that the larger an organization, the more dysfunction is inherent.
You're simply defending bad habits. I am saying give those habits a periodic review. I offer a different perspective which can be useful, and should be heard.
I appreciate the beauty of diversity of political viewpoints. It's beautiful that we have conservatives and liberals all mixed in together. All positions need to be heard so we can better evaluate their application. While I personally favor the liberal position on most issues, I don't always. I try to objectively analyze both sides before I logically deduce which is the sensible approach. I can't help it if the approach that makes the most sense is often the liberal one.
I don't simply assume it. I try to think of what is best for the nation. When I hear people arguing for the conservative position, I often hear people concerned about what that issue means to them personally. So if it's about taxes, then they want to pay lower taxes and they don't really care what that does to the federal debt.
I'm trying to be altruistic more than selfish.
What I observe is that the conservative position boils down to selfishness, and lately even more troublingly, hatred. Pure hatred of different others. That's ugly. I don't see how somebody can visit the Statue of Liberty, and want to hate immigrants.
Immigrants built this nation.
Yeah.
Immigrants built that.
Immigrants are our past and immigrants are out future.
Our economy depends on population expansion. We are not having enough babies. What are we going to do about it? It's a problem.
