Study Shows Why Conservatives are Better

I am Fiscally Conservative and Socially Liberal.

I believe we should only spend as much money as we take in and balance the budget.

I also believe that State and Federal Government must develop an environment that is conductive to businesses wanting to operate out of such states....and although we must be careful to protect clean air and clean water...this doesn't mean we should be so stupid as to raise taxes so high a business would rather operate in another country rather than in the U.S.

Now at the same time I find all this Christian Extremist Talk pure IDIOCY.

There is a separation of Church and State for a Good Reason and if some Christian Group wants to pass a law that would allow the Ten Commandments to be displayed at a Public Building such as a Court House....then they better be prepared for the resulting idiocy of allowing ALL RELIGIONS to display their Religious Icons and this includes a SATANIST RELIGIOUS ICON....as Satanism is a Religion as well.

I hope people can see the IDIOCY of allowing Religious Icons. Texts or Statues in Public Places.

As well....Abortion is Legal...and always will be as even if I personally abhor the thought of an abortion there will ALWAYS be a need for an abortion to take place.

Now as I said...I am Fiscally Conservative and Socially Liberal and it is NO ONES BUSINESS what goes on in anyone's Bedroom as long as it is between two consenting adults.

It is a FACT that cities, towns and states that educate students early on about sexual education and either by the use of abstinence, condoms, birth control drugs or other pregnancy preventive methods....STD's, Abortions and Teen Pregnancies are greatly lower in number.

It is also a FACT....that education about the use of the Morning After Pill or Plan B....within 24 hours of unprotected sexual intercourse has reduced the number of unwanted pregnancies by over 75% and as well greatly reduced the number of abortions.

As far as Gay Rights....I am well trained expert in a variety of Martial Arts, Survival, Weapons both Firearms, RPM's, Ancient, Bow, Knives....trained in Ocean, Desert, Jungle, Arctic...etc...survival and I am basically considered to be a Man's Man...Alpha Male.

Now I LOVE EVERYTHING there is that is Female....even their issues, faults and baggage....so much in fact if I was born a Woman I probably would be a Lesbian! LOL!!!

Now....I HAVE NO ISSUES WITH GAY RIGHTS NOR DO I SEE A PROBLEM WITH GAY MARRIAGE.

I might have reservations about Gay Adoption but not because I think Gay's would attempt to turn their kids Gay...but rather the simple fact that a Boy or Girl really needs BOTH a Father and Mother.

Now if a Alpha Male like me has no issues with Homosexuality....why is it some other people do?

Some have issues because they believe it is against GOD's Will....well....such a thing is not either your or my responsibly or right to judge....it would be GOD's...so how about some of you supposed Christians start ACTING LIKE CHRISTIANS and stop casting those stones!

Your opinion is less than worthless.

The Anti-Republican Funny Song is based on reality, not on what Rush and friends order their submissive logic-challenged listeners to think.

 

I am not rich, but I vote Republican because I want America to remain the Land of Opportunity, where it is possible for a poor man to start with nothing and become a millionaire.

The Democrats, on the other hand, want to destroy upwards mobility, and if they succeed, it will not be the rich who suffer (they will still be rich) but those in the middle class and lower class who aspire to be rich. I mean look at the income tax -- it does not penalize the rich, it penalizes people who earn money and are gettting rich. The Democrats would have us raise the income tax so that no one could ever get rich again, and we would then have a society of permanent class stratification.

 

Thanks to Republican policies we now have much less upward mobility than most countries in Europe.

 

Which Republican policies do you speak of?

 

It might have to do with the fact that the burden of need is higher in most of the states you mentioned as being most charitable. With the exception of Utah, those states are all quite poor.

The least generous states listed are relatively wealthy, so there are fewer poor people to aid proportionally speaking.

Also, New Hampshire is more of a libertarian state than a "blue" one.

 

Bush tax cuts, last 30 years, the Wall Street house of cards, always increasing military spending, obstructionism, tax loopholes, Corporate Welfare - just to name of few.

 

How does any of this impact upward social mobility?

The Bush tax cuts were very good for me. I got a check for $800.

Were you hurt by the Bush tax cut? If so, how?

 

Shine a good strong light, and it sanitizes many lies masquerading as "truth". Many on the Right tend to scurry away from the light.

 

Is this the same light you lefties are shining on OBAMAs numerous scandals?

 

You righties aren't making much sense these days; that's for sure.

 

Is that why you didnt answer the question? I thought you said the righties run from the light, you lefties apparently not only run from it but burn like vampires in it if you get even close to it.

 

Studies, like polls, usually are carried out to attain predetermined results. Does anyone remember Nixon during the Communist hearings of the 50's?
Nixon, "Yes or No, are you still a communist?"
Person being questioned: "I have nev....."
Nixon interrupting: "Just answer the question: "Yes or No, are you still a communist?"
This happened until the person being questioned would realize that they were not going to be allowed to say that they were never a Communist so they use the 5th.
Polls and Studies are big business with both parties using them to prove their points. The only acceptable results show that the level of honesty and ethics is at an all time low as we believe that the end justifies the means.
When one side says, "Its our way or no way." Democracy dies

 

The liberal's understanding of charity is telling other people to give more. It has no understanding of giving from its own pockets.

 

What a valid argument... I read something that said the opposite.

 

Ya well christians believe that buying new costumes for their church choir is a "charitable cause".

 

Look at the bright side. At least they aren't blowing up busloads of school kids to get there.

 

I'm not obligated to do that. Still, I invite you to disagree with whatever I say here.

 

I volunteer in town with a group of fellow Kiwanians and reckon pretty close to three-quarters of 'em are strongly conservative, though on the other hand two-thirds of the people in town vote Republican. I am not sure whether they're ubiquitous nature in local charity groups is a matter of demographics or lines up neatly with the assertion from the OP.

Giving it a bit of thought, conservatives are hardly less caring and compassionate than liberals. The difference is that a lot of the former seem to think only some people deserve charity and prefer to allocate it either themselves, through churches, or non-profit groups, whereas it seems like a lot of the relatively egalitarian folk like me are unconditional in our willingness to help. If I gave to everyone I think deserves it I, too, would soon be destitute! Instead of digging myself into that financial pit I prefer to pay tax and demand the state help everybody in need.

 

For the record you have just scurried from the light you stated righties scurry away from.

 

Nonsense. I am right on-target and looking at the truth.
