I stayed up for Rubio's and Romney's speeches on Thursday night - very motivating, I thought.

Anyway. It always aggravates me how so many of my friends lump all Republicans together as bigots or Bible-huggers and such. It's rude and it's not necessarily true and after reading offensive posts about all republicans being against women's rights and welfare (although I'm sure they weren't meant to be really offensive, but I find them very in-your-face) I have trouble falling asleep!

So this occurred to me:

It seems to me (and I'm doing a bit of generalizing here, mind you) that liberals have nice ideals - they want everyone to have enough of everything, they want everyone to get along, love each other, save the planet, etc.

So do republicans! Except our method of achieving that ideal doesn't take the easy road. It'll take time and for awhile it might hurt. But you can't jump to the final goal without trudging through the hard stuff.

If that makes sense? It makes more sense in my head than when I wrote it out here... Also, this is my first post here, I'm just tired of thinking to myself in a den of liberals that I can't talk to.

Liberals would probably say the same thing about their methods.

The difference being that liberal ideas rarely (if ever) yield positive results. Generation after generation, they have been proved to be failures. These ideas do not work.

And yet they not only keep pushing them and trying to put them into practice, but anyone who dares to point out these facts will be bullied, silenced and when possible, destroyed.

Inconvenient truths, indeed.

OK.

Two classic ones:

Welfare - failure, as evidenced by the generations now stuck in it

Multiculturalism - failure, even in Europe (http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/41444364/ns/world_news-europe/t/british-pm-multiculturalism-has-failed/#.UELRjSLEzCM)

Two current ones:

Solyndra bankruptcy (http://www.reuters.com/article/2011/09/06/us-solyndra-idUSTRE77U5K420110906)

Cash for Clunkers (http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/ezra-klein/post/was-cash-for-clunkers-a-clunker/2011/11/04/gIQA42EhpM_blog.html)

And the current, ridiculous, against-all-common-sense idea that getting us trillions of dollars into debt will somehow "stimulate" the economy - which has done nothing except... leave us more in debt.

I could go on and on. I am glad you acknowledge these failures!

As I've been reminded of the rule to not use facts, I will now have to bow out of the thread.

[mosinging1986.livejournal.com]

Those darned facts always do get in the way, don't they?

(The liberal mindset debunked in whole, right there. Thanks again.)

I assumed we were both following that rule, is that not the case with your comment above?
