I agree NDirish1017. Very good post.
I wonder what would happen if a "The "I hate stupid Democrats" thread was created. Attacks? Insults? Or perhaps it just wouldn't be allowed to be made.
People need to stop dividing themselves and thinking they are better than others, too.
I think the problem with the U.S. right now is that we have one very effective, competent party whose policies are inherently evil (the Republican party), and one very ineffective, incompetent party who fights mostly for good causes (the Democratic party).
And before a bunch of religious right-wingers jump down my throat and scream "ABORTION IS EVIL!!!!", how about letting poor people die because they don't have enough money to get affordable healthcare? Tell me what Jesus would do about that. I guess we don't need stories like the Good Samaritan anymore, huh? But any time gays want equal rights, you guys sure don't mind taking that book and beating it over people's heads do you?
I think the problem with the U.S is people with this sort of mind set. People who insult, belittle, attack, and generalize are worse than people who think "ABORTION IS EVIL!!!!!". Which, in fact, had you the knowledge of you would probably side with them. Again. IF you had the knowledge behind abortion and the months/term in which it is performed (
pssssk, around 4-6 months *look into partial-birth abortion* to a 45 million abortions a year worldwide) of course.
I'm going to assume you are a Democrat because of your posts concerning the two major parties. This isn't how your group is supposed to act. Remember, it is the Republicans that are evil.
I also find it quite hilarious you find it fit to call the Democratic party "the good cause" pursuers. I wasn't aware it was (mostly) the Republicans that signed off on drone striking innocent people just to kill, maybe, one terrorist to every 50 innocents.
Oh, and churches are responsible for a great majority of charity given to poor people, in fact, a great majority of charity given comes from
religious people. In fact, a great majority of charities are pungent in
Republican dominated states AND from poor Republican people, and that is just in America alone. Unless of course you wish to argue that the 217.79 billion dollars given to charity foundations in 2010/2011 by both individuals and families solely came from non-Republicans, then that would quite ridiculous. Look into CCUSA
(which still arguable has ill decisions on its part) and the work Christian and Catholics do outside of our country to aid those in the Middle East. Also read
philanthropy's site on the statistics done on who would give more charity away or any other study really; Republicans or Democrats?
Guess who "won" that. Republicans give more to charity (second to be religious Liberals). This is a known fact. Studies prove it. Look into it. Or at least request all parties to give into charity, don't just attack Republicans.
I would have agreed, somewhat, with you had you questioned why churches/mosques/temples/etc etc
received or at least why the "majority" of them received charity funds when there are better causes out there. But you didn't. Instead you wished to go on bashing a political group based on a very insulting generalization and incorrect knowledge on the subject.
What do you care about poor people dying? Obama and his Administration, "the good cause pursuers" are droning innocents left and right who are also poor and you quickly passed it off in the other thread saying "it wasn't Obama's fault" *paraphrasing*. Americans aren't even safe from that slaughter.
The problem with America today is that people divide themselves between groups and have stopped caring for the people. Now they spend most of their time attacking each other while Americans suffer.
Point? Democrats and Republicans (and the other parties, of course) are BOTH problems and if you looked into the "whys" you would understand "why" it is so. Each party does wrong, it isn't
just the Republicans. And this why I am going to respectfully disagree with your post not only by the hateful way you worded it, but the inaccuracy of its claims.
As George Washington said (letter to Timothy Pickering, Jul. 27, 1795),
Much indeed to be regretted, party disputes are now carried to such a length, and truth is so enveloped in mist and false representation, that it is extremely difficult to know through what channel to seek it. This difficulty to one, who is of no party, and whose sole wish is to pursue with undeviating steps a path which would lead this country to respectability, wealth, and happiness, is exceedingly to be lamented. But such, for wise purposes, it is presumed, is the turbulence of human passions in party disputes, when victory more than truth is the palm contended for.
John Adams (Letter to Jonathan Jackson (2 October 1780), "The Works of John Adams", vol 9, p.511.),
John Adams said:
There is nothing which I dread so much as a division of the republic into two great parties, each arranged under its leader, and concerting measures in opposition to each other. This, in my humble apprehension, is to be dreaded as the greatest political evil under our Constitution.
And as a Democrat put it;
James Fenimore Cooper said:
Party leads to vicious, corrupt and unprofitable legislation, for the sole purpose of defeating party.
Have a good day or night,
