GOP are they the cause of unneighborly attitudes

In my town we seem to be getting many quite unneighborly attitudes developing, as well as road Rage increasing. I am wondering is this a consequence of the self centered and selfish attitudes promoted by the Right Wing of GOP.

If your neighbor was a GOP supporter and you a democrat would you or your neighbor call the police before going to talk to them over what might once have been neighborly issues, like noise or smoke. I perceive our society may have gone this way just lately. What do people think? As we seem to have some unpleasant trends going on around here including some bad political actions influenced by people like the Koch Bros, associated with School Boards and GOP candidate support at recent elections.

 

Who is to say that the road rage is done by Republicans? Personally I find a lot of Libs to be very angry people. Maybe the actions are Soros/ Steyer influenced. Maybe they are invading your little neighborhood. This may be a result of your president Obama: the Great Divider.

 

I just see things changing for the bad, whoever is at fault. Being left of center, I see it as the Right. You clearly see it as the Left. I just see things are not getting better, whoever is the cause. I don't blame Obama, even though I would never vote for him, but the lies of FOX News and their support of the GOP DON't help matters. Nay, they only add gas to the fire, already smouldering.

 

What about the lies of MSNBC, HuffPo, Mother Jones and the rest of MSM who are clearly adding fuel to the fire? Do you not see them as culprits or do you believe THEY tell the truth and no one else? Fox was created to give a DIFFERING viewpoint that many Americans share. We are not all die-hard liberals. Just as I don't watch your Liberal channels, you do not have to look at Fox. But equal time is fair, don't you think? Don't be angry because Fox has more viewers than your Lib channels combined.

 

I see plenty of "hate" from the left as I do from the right. While the right tend to be more self righteous, the left tend to be more vicious. Even in their new reporting. the left seem to want to cause division and tension. They are often so much in a hurry to do so, that they do not even wait for facts to present themselves before they start casting stones. The left also does not stop at the person that they are targeting, but they go after their family and their place of work as well.

 

I think it's the other way around. Dems are the cause of unneighborly attitudes. I live in Pensacola, a city that is often on the most polite list. We are also a conservative stronghold in Florida. That is not coincidence.

That said, I think most of us blame bad things on the other side. Your post is a reflection of the attitude you are supposedly against.

 

All bad things are political... and only the fault of the Conservatives.

'Cuz we need more threads just like this.



I would simply suggest looking at the majority of "unneighborly" criminals in the crime-ridden cities where neighbors put bars on their doors and guns loaded and ready.
Then ask them how they vote.


But to be honest, I'd be more interested in knowing if dems can create interesting, fair threads...

 

How do we know it is not the Democrats getting enraged by the perceived helplessness they must feel that the government isn't doing enough to save the world? Why would a democrat talk to his neighbor, when it is the job of the government to fix his problems?

Your self-righteous partisan thinking works both ways.

 

Well, a problem GOP'ers have is that they think they exclusively occupy the moral high ground, especially the religious ones. They think they can be complete, selfish jerks to everyone all day and as long as they their prayers at night, everything will be fine.

 

You are right.

Eight years of liberal control has left the nation weary and worn out. Everyone is grumpy and ready for a change.

 

All the road rage in your neighborhood is from democrats. If you ask me how I know...Ill refer back to your OP to cite the same cooky way you arrived at your opinion.

 

Has anyone every given it a thought that it might not even be whether you have an (R) or (D) behind your name?

Could it possibly be over population and over crowding of the urban areas of the world?
Nah, let's blame a political party......

 

I am a landlord. Everyone (*)(*)(*)(*)(*)es about everything, their political leaning doesn't mean a thing.

 

Of course. But that doesn't make for a good anti-GOP whine-thread.

 

Out of the 10 friendliest cities in the US, 9 of them are in red states and 8 of the 9 are in Southern states. The 10th one is in Colorado.

 

They are friendly in Colorado because everyone in the State is high. If we are painting with a broad brush in this thread, we may as well go all out.

 

Republicans tend to more believe in personal property rights than Democrats.

 

Park a car with a Confederate flag sticker in a predominately black/Democratic apartment complex - and park a car with a Black Panthers sticker in a predominately white/Republican apartment complex. Which car do you think will fair better?

 

Well, to be fair, there were a lot of very stressed out people in 2007 - 08 and there was a Republican in the WH then.
I would blame social media for bad attitudes long before political parties.

 

Any Black Helicopters?

 

Republican politicians and their blow hard surrogates have a long history of promoting fear and hate and creating dividing lines between people who would otherwise be neighbourly. More recently they have adopted a new tactic. Now they attack anyone who disagrees with them by claiming that they are the ones who promote fear and hate and division.

It is ingenious, but ultimately self defeating since it requires them to abandon their own long held bigotry if they have any hope of making it stick.

 

Naw 60 odd years of the left calling everyone who disagrees with them Fascists, Nazis ignorant and stupid couldn't possibly have anything to do with the pure vitriol and hate we see infecting our society today.

 

Whether Crats or Cans, Left, Middle or Right, they are all the same ilk and have cooperated closely for 150 years or so to plunder the people, and gain power over them and use them as cannon fodder in wars of aggression to make the super-rich richer.

 

I wonder if this reported rash of "unneighborly attitudes", is a result of people not having a shred of supporting evidence, but blaming others political viewpoints on the rash of "unneighborly attitudes"?

I also wonder if ones perceptions of there being a rash of "unneighborly attitudes", has anything to do with the neighborly attitude being projected by the person seeing so many instances of a lack of neighborly attitudes ?

 

Both sides do it, and I don't think that it's to any greater degree on one side or the other. The Democrat and Republican sheep eat up divisive rhetoric, believe it as fact, and hold their side as holy and righteous and the other side as evil incarnate. Meanwhile, politicians from both "sides" get rich, generally get along well with each other, and laugh all the way to the bank. So, keep bleating about how awful the Republicans are. You are serving your Democrat masters well. Your Republican counterparts are doing the exact same thing.
