Quote:It doesn't require brainwashing to know how a democrat thinks.  You simply erase logic and common sense from the equation, and you can pretty much figure out the position modern libs will take on just about any issue. 

 

Progressive is nothing more than the new term for liberal.  It's the new sanitized term because the term liberal has been completely tainted. 

 

Yes, I've heard of "conservative" and "independent" democrats. 

 

I'm not the one who has predetermined what MY opinion on a particular subject is.  That's all on you.  Spin it however you must to feel like you have the high ground.  It won't fly. 

 

It dosent require brainwashing to know how a Democrat work. Really FBT?

 

If anyone wants to take a look at real live hypocrisy they can look no further than your post above.

 

Let me explain to you a little bit about some of my views, if you even care to pay attention at this point.

 

I am a Democrat who believes in small government, but also believes in regulation of the free market.

 

I am pro gun rights.

 

I am for Gay marriage and equal rights, but firmly believe marriage is defined in the bible between man and woman.

 

I support Israel as a right to defend itself as a state, and believe the U.S. should continue to be a key ally.

 

I believe EVERYONE, rich, middle class, poor should have access to quality, affordable preventable health care.

 

I support tax cuts for Americans making at or below poverty level income.

 

I believe Government should have a reduced role in welfare, but still maintain subsides for those who need it in emergencies circumstances. 

 

Reinvest in Social Security.

 

I support tax breaks for small businesses.

 

You can "label" me however you choose, at this point I will say this AGAIN, I know your line of thinking, and sadly there are MILLIONS others, both Democratic and Republican who share the same behaviors and tendencies you posses which I feel hold this country back sometimes from progress. 

 

When I was younger, I must admit I held the same IGNORANT PREJUDICE against Republicans who I thought we all racists, rich, etc, come to find out the most amazing person who is a Republican is my wife. We have our disagreements, but what got me more embracive to the Republican Party was when she started to explain their ideology basically separating fact from fiction, and ironically, most of our viewpoints line up the same, but she and others HATE the radicals who just love to stereotype the left with one broad stroke like you and so many other do. 

 

I sincerely pray that your sentiments towards people who have a different political affiliation from you are just some off the cuff feelings and dont mask the person who you truly are FBT.
