• This is a political forum that is non-biased/non-partisan and treats every person's position on topics equally. This debate forum is not aligned to any political party. In today's politics, many ideas are split between and even within all the political parties. Often we find ourselves agreeing on one platform but some topics break our mold. We are here to discuss them in a civil political debate. If this is your first visit to our political forums, be sure to check out the RULES.

You guys have a lot of rules, but then you knew that ;)

Entitlements seem to be long term failures versus short term help like a "safety net program". For instance, I have no problem with unemployment payments. I pay into that as an employer. It has limits and encourages people to find work before the benefit is removed.

Hey, I had no idea they allowed crazy talk in here. :shock:

Seriously, as long as a dog's right to poop outdoors doesn't interfere with my right to enjoy a dog crapless yard it is all good.
Hm, I think we're going to get along just fine!

You might be more liberal than you realize.

Or maybe - I'm *more* conservative than *I* think! :doh

The Constitution guarantees your rights up to the point it infringes on mine, then the courts sort it out. That sorting is suppose to be through applying the Constitution, not interpreting it or legislating from the bench.
 
Conservative here, with a sense of humor, which may prove my downfall given the rules. Though it has been a challenge, I have made friends with liberals. Hopefully we can politely agree to disagree and find other common ground beyond that issue which divides.

I also enjoy informal general discussions. Some of the names look familiar to me, I am forgetful so you may have to reintroduce yourself. Well off to work on the profile.

Super, this place is in desperate need of more fun. I am currently not happy with the level of free flowing sadism here, which seems to pass for fun, so I am hoping you like this place well enough to stick around to help me create some real fun.

I am a former liberal, now calling myself a Zen Socialist, and I am all about combat to the blood in the arena of ideas while having fun doing it. Sometimes this gets mistaken as trolling.

I have a feeling we will run into each other eventually in the threads.

That could be very very good.

Hello.

Hmm..

I'm a liberal and I can't get along with American liberals. Probably because they aren't liberals, they are socialists.

Which is an issue that people are usually lumped into broad categories. I try to use the words some, many, most or some type of limiter when talking about a group.

You know I was (fully) agreeing with you, right? ;)
 
If a cat craps in your yard correctly, you would never know right? Of course if it can be stepped on, it deserves equal treatment. Try not to judge all liberals by Hillary, bad example.

This is X Factor's dog:

The dirtiest, black and all...

The hard part is, as a conservative, I support the Constitution, which means I have to protect your right to have an opposing opinion.

you may be a liberal :mrgreen:
