Quote:Climate change.. gone

LGBT.. gone

Civil Rights.. gone

Healthcare.. gone

That's the liberal paradox in a nutshell right there. You basically end up in a position where you say that if you don't support the government doing X,Y,Z then you don't want it at all. You are creating a false choice. 

Let me take some of these on individually though:

 

Climate Change: The evidence does point to things getting warmer, sure, but even if you made the connection between climate change and people, what good is handcuffing American industry when India/China/ect are polluting at rates that cannot even compare with what we do? Obama's argument was that if the USA led the way on climate change restrictions, that the rest of the world would fall in line. That position is a bit hypocritical because to develop to our current state, we polluted on a massive scale, and now you expect other countries to stifle their own growth? They haven't and they won't. Obama has failed on that front. 

 

LGBT: There will still be lettuce, Guac, Bacon, and Tomato sammiches in 8 years. No, but seriously, the SCOTUS has interpreted the Constitution to include gay marriage. We aren't getting a Constitutional amendment to outlaw it and Trump has not even expressed interest in that. Trump says that he believes marriage is the union between one man and one woman---that is the exact position that Obama and Hillary held not too long ago. So, they will be fine.

 

Civil Rights: I'm not even sure why you think that would go away but when Democrats want to preach about civil rights, it is rich considering they were the ones holding the fire hoses and dogs back in the 1960s.

 

Healthcare: This is the ultimate false choice. "If you don't want the Federal Government to provide healthcare, you are against healthcare." Is that basically your position? I can't remember if it was you that was droning on about how Conservatives see Liberals as the "enemy" but here you are painting us as being against healthcare and civil rights. We are not the monsters you think we are. We want healthcare too but we think this current system isn't working out too well since providers are dropping like flies and more and more people cannot afford the premiums and deductibles.  We have some ideas on how to improve that situation because we like Healthcare too.
