Young peoples view?

[Liv2Fish]

I thought this was interesting (scary actually). Slide the age you were born bar up to the current. What is it that makes our young people want to be in that camp.

I have two younger brothers who both voted democratic because of the social issue stance of the republican party. To be honest, I'm not a big fan of the views of religious right either, but most of it doesn't affect me and I couldn't imagine voting for giving more of my to a completely corrupt social support system. I don't get it.

The repubs better loose the "god is in control" stance or we'll never get the house back.

Did you ever consider that the reason they think the way they do is because of how they have been "Programmed" by the monopoly progressivly controlled education system?

My daughter is explaining to me how Christopher Columbus is responsible for slavery and therefore bad...

Nebe....agreed, abolish both parties....

Vote "Montgomery Brewster: None of The Above!"

(from Brewster's Millions)

Unfortunately we want to hold these POS politicians accountable for their actions and inactions, but when the overseeing powers are in the same mindset how can anything be done???

Maybe we just need a clean slate approach, get rid of all of them and start over with strict guidelines as to what their roles will be, what their terms will be and that they alone will be accountable for their actions? (No more playing the blame-game when someone gets caught!)

Then I wake up and realize it ain't ever gonna happen in my lifetime and I think about happier times and places and get on with my life.

I am unaffiliated but we need them to counter balance each other

Balance

I disagree. What we have now is basically two parties that pander to two social classes. The GOP panders to the upper class with their giveaways in the form of tax breaks and hopes of smaller government and the Dems pander to the lower class with their handouts.

There needs to be a third party that represents those who are in the middle and does not focus on handouts to buy votes and does not use religion or holy wars to achieve a foothold. That's where the tea party lost me.

That's why politicians are so keen on procurring the teachers union vote.....so they can control their "indoctrinating process" of the students.

I'm not a parent, and with quirte a few neices and nephews and a brother who is a history buff, so if they happen to spout any on this mis-informative rhetoric, he will set them straight right on the spot.

I refer to them as the communication arm of the ruling class. This is also why they are compensated (as a total package, pay , retirement, vacation, healthcare) well.

I'm not a parent, and with quite a few neices and nephews and a brother who is a history buff, so if they happen to spout any on this mis-informative rhetoric, he will set them straight right on the spot.

My 2 cents

Columbus took American Indians and Carib Indians as slaves... You didn't get that memo ? He returned to Spain with them and their gold and informed his sponsors that the new world was ripe for plundering

I love it when people try to rewrite history from 400 years ago, especially when
written in the Social Psychology Network ,in this case. Where do they get their new truthful information from when no one is alive to interview.
Most of SPN is theory without any one to prove it.
We all have theories but show me the facts.

You really think there are no written, historical accounts of Columbus taking Aranak's(sp) back as slaves? It is just some made up liberal idea?


I'm not opposed to having Columbus day, as he 'founded' the new world, warts and all. He was, however, far from the first on this continent white or native American....

ScottW:
Which Moderate Party? Ken Block's party or the new Cool Moose... I like Healy as a concept, but he differs from the original moderate party... there are differences between them. The 3rd party is a noble idea, but ask Ken Block about it's effectiveness and why he joined the GOP....

ironic isn't it? that we are at the same time told to ignore or overlook all of the bad in our current crop of miscreant "leaders" and only focus on whatever good intention they may claim to harbor....

we are told repeatedly that we should judge folks like...ohhh....William Ayers and others in the context of the times in which they lived and not by "current" standards of rational or reasonable behavior which seem to be constantly changing......

funny...

You don't think it has something to do with teachers being a class of workers with some of the highest education levels of any industry?

Columbus might have spread a little scurvy here and there but he wasn't a bad dude. They didn't know any better back then anyway......
