Lol. Just like how liberals are for poor people and against big corporations? Get the **** outta here. Trump is a Hollywood creation, and building a massive wall that costs billions is not conservatism. Obama supporters and Trump supporters are the exact same. It’s like Jordan Stans vs Lebron Stans. They both act like their dude was the greatest thing ever. Nothing could be more further from the truth. Both ruined the independent left and independent right bringing everyone right back to the mainstream. Op is a great example. And Texas Republicans brought us Bush so sorry when I laugh and stick the middle finger up at someone using a “Texas Republican Party” link to try and convey some profound message. Lmao.

This is generally true, tho it also speaks to the shortcoming of the liberal-conservative paradigm.

Theres no one-size-fits-all approach to something as complex as human civilization. A single-faceted approach in any direction is never sustainable. Sometimes you have to make war, sometimes you have to make peace. Sometimes you have to regulate, sometimes you have to deregulate. The trick is deciding and agreeing when to do each, and that is very difficult and also subjective to each person’s interests.

Thinking is very energy intensive, and that is why our human brains are wired to both generalize ideas and make assumptions. It’s an evolutionary short cut. Analyzing the nuances of every single issue would take an assload of time and throughout history simply would not have been viable. We have more opportunity to do so in the modern age but unfortunately the tendency to do it just isnt a genetic feature thats been greatly selected for. And it applies to all of us. We all have a natural inclination to over generalize and quickly assume. We have to consciously overcome it in order to avoid it, and again, it’s easier said than done.

Had to google him, but he sounds pretty interesting. Also kind of a funny coincidence you should ask, as his name according to wiki is hebrew in origin, and I realized as I was writing my previous post it echoed one of the core themes of kohelet:


time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to reap; 3:3 A time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to break down, and a time to build up; 3:4 A time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance

And the above aren't slogans, but rather platforms and belief systems. Sure, everyone commits crime, but there is a huge difference between a Party that champions good, compassion, family, and opportunity, versus a Party that does not. A Party that "on the surface" to quote you, seems to be on the side of the criminal.

I used you, because you're well known here. My personal experience with freedom of speech people is just like that. They accept it as long as it doesn't go too much against their beliefs.

I honestly don't think either party really upholds their belief systems very well when you look under the surface. I think boiled down it comes to making money on statements that attract voters and nothing much else. I doubt either party in the US or any party here is interested in bettering the lives of people within their belief system, they had enough opportunities and it rarely ever happened.

Liberalism is basically a phase that teenagers & college kids go through... and then they grow up to become more conservative, because at some point, you have to start holding yourself accountable.

Do Liberals raise their kids to become more socialist? That they can depend on food stamps and welfare? That they are victims from birth and need government help?

And Liberalism is learned in College and on Social Media. Very few parents are teaching their kids that boys can become girls and vice versa. Or that White privilege exists and you should be ashamed of being White. Those are Liberal tenets nowadays.

LOL... your short answer basically boils down to: it's pointless to raise your children and teach them anything of value... they are going to be whatever they want to be anyways.

As if children aren't impressionable. As if you can't teach a child morals and work ethic, and how you shouldn't ask for handouts.



And if Liberals are bigger on education... it certainly isn't quality education, it's federal government funded education.... funding more liberal nonsense like gender studies and CRT.

get a loan for college... can't pay it off... complain to government to pay it off for you.... never ending cycle of economic destruction.




Yea I'm giving parents too much credit... because it's important to simply have them.

It's no mystery as to why there is less & less respect for authority as the years pass, because the children are growing up without an authority figure in the house.

It's not about being accountable. Most people tend to become conservative when they gain wealth and possession and that usually coincedes with becoming older. The problem about liberals is that there's classic liberalism in a broad sense freedom of expresing yourself and your needs over traditional values and this new wave of sociological liberalism which basically pushes their principles upon anyone unasked. They're not even a homogenious group some are radical feminists others are woke people who want to cancel people, because they're white and wear dreads, but in general they don't really have as much with left ideas incommon as the conservative media portrays them.

So you can actually become more conservative with each when it comes to hold down your property and yet still be liberal in the classic sense. Not so much in the more modern sense of contemporary liberalism.

Inflation Reduction Act Shows Far Left’s Extremism and Elitism

https://www.heritage.org/budget-and-spending/commentary/inflation-reduction-act-shows-far-lefts-extremism-and-elitism


Last Friday, the House passed the misleadingly named “Inflation Reduction Act,” a massive tax and spend bill that illustrates just how extreme and out of touch the left has become.

The vote was along party lines, as it was in the Senate, with no Republicans voting for the bill.

As American families are struggling with inflation not seen in over 40 years, Democrats passed legislation that would likely only make inflation worse. And they had the audacity to call it the “Inflation Reduction Act.”

...


Last year, Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg captured the left’s electric vehicle elitism, when he reportedly “argued that more Americans should purchase electric vehicles so that they ‘never have to worry about gas prices again.’”

Ultimately, the energy and climate provisions, estimated to cost $369 billion, are all about one thing: control. It’s a far-left effort to dictate what you drive, where you live, how you live, how you get electricity, and what appliances you buy, among other things. And climate change is the pretext for achieving this agenda.

Admittedly, there’s nothing new with the left using climate change as a justification for control or ignoring the incredible pain that its climate policies will cause Americans, particularly low-income Americans who spend far more of their family budgets on gas and heating bills. But what is new is the sheer scope of this bill, packaging such a huge far-left climate wish list into one piece of legislation.

Bill proponents will claim that the pain must be endured. In fact, in May, President Joe Biden stated: “[When] it comes to the gas prices, we’re going through an incredible transition that is taking place that, God willing, when it’s over, we’ll be stronger, and the world will be stronger and less reliant on fossil fuels when this is over.”

So, the left’s solution to the pain of high gas prices is buying electric vehicles or just being strong and enduring it.

When the pain is having to give up season tickets at the Met, the pain isn’t too bad. But the pain from high prices for most Americans–especially low-income households–isn’t about giving up luxuries, it’s about giving up necessities.

And making matters worse, even assuming you buy into the left’s assumptions regarding global warming, this pain is for no gain. As explained in a recent Heritage report, “eliminating all U.S. emissions would [only] mitigate global temperatures by less than 0.2 of a degree Celsius by 2100.”

Unfortunately, the House chose to pass this far-left legislative insult to Americans. So, what should be the next steps for conservatives?

Conservatives need to ensure that the policies in this bill have a very short shelf-life, and proactively promote policies that address the genuine concerns of Americans. This means being laser-focused on addressing inflation by reducing spending and the regulatory barriers that drive up costs throughout the economy

When it comes to energy and climate, conservatives should remove any government meddling (e.g. subsidies, regulation, mandates) that hinders access to low-cost and reliable energy, thus helping to promote prosperity and freedom. A more prosperous and free nation will improve the lives of Americans both today and in the futr

Nobody gives a $hit what happened 90 years ago when the dollar was backed by gold.

Today... we have the Federal Reserve... and Democrats are under the impression it's a credit card with unlimited purchasing power.

What I categorize as a leftwing policy... Well, The Inflation Reduction Act would be our latest example.

Doesn't matter what you call left. The dems are a neo liberal big corp party. They're not conservative, but they aren't left either. They're just not as right wing as the gop usually is. The gold standard or inflation aren't left or right wing agendas, neither is the fed.

Republicans are running on a Forced Birth Agenda.

Kansas proved the GQP is going the opposite direction.

White House leaning toward canceling $10,000 in student loan debt for borrowers who make less than $125,000

https://www.cnn.com/2022/08/22/politics/student-loan-white-house/index.html


(CNN)White House officials have been weighing -- and leaning toward -- the cancellation of up to $10,000 in student loan debt per borrower tied to an income threshold, CNN has learned.
According to multiple sources familiar with the discussions, the plan is designed to offer the forgiveness to individuals who earn less than $125,000 per year.
In addition to that baseline of student loan debt forgiveness for individuals who fall under a certain income level, administration officials have also recently discussed the possibility of additional forgiveness for specific subsets of the population, according to sources familiar with internal discussions in the administration.

The announcement could come as early as Wednesday, but it is not clear that a final decision on the details of the announcement -- as well as the timing -- has been made, and there could always be eleventh hour changes. The White House is also expected to address in the coming days whether to extend again the current pause on federal student loan payments, which is set to expire on August 31.

so like I said earlier in this thread.... More Liberals going to college equates to more liberals needing handouts.

This really sucks for the RESPONSIBLE conservatives who paid their bills.... but we need more rewards for the irresponsible, it's the Democratic way.

I don't understand how this doesn't cause riots?

Why pick and choose what debts are paid? How can anyone take debt seriously?

Considering nobody rioted in 2008 or 2020 when the govt was pumping trillions into parasitic banks and private equity funds, why would they riot about college students getting a small bailout?

Also (with the exception of jan 6th), the only people in this country who are interested in rioting are young college educated liberals... and while they are dumb I dont think they are dumb enough to riot against their own interests.

How dare they bail out the tax paying population instead of tax evading big corps for once?

And at what point do they stop pointing the finger at others and instead point the finger at themselves.

Because all I see coming from the left is a bunch of finger pointing mixed in with Government solutions.

That's rich coming from the guy who made a finger pointing thread and spends all day pointing at liberals. :lol

The better question is when are you going to stop pointing fingers at liberals as the reason your life sucks?

Students get federal loans which the Gov can easily wipe without having to pay back a bank, and education does something for society so it helps all of us. Versus paying off debt used to by cool clothes or a new TV.

Wiping Federal debt shouldn't really add to the money supply either. That was already added when the student took out the loan.

Economy Adds 528,000 Jobs, Double What Predicted, as Unemployment Dips to 3.5% (https://www.dailysignal.com/2022/08/05/economy-adds-528000-jobs-double-what-predicted-as-unemployment-dips-to-3-5/)

Joe Biden's biggest problem is that there aren't enough unemployed people.

Lil Marco is down in the polls so he does what every Republican does when they are going in the wrong direction.

He was on FOX News today begging for money.
