It is admittedly emotional and difficult to quantify. Give me some time; I'll develop a more thoughtful response than I could at this very moment.

Careful. When a stance is formulated from an emotional base, it is rarely logically validatated.

Try and track down what your feeling is, and where it might really be coming from. look for common threads. the whole idea that somehow Obama is this radical liberal is so staged it is not funny.

If he has one major fault, it is trying to make everyone happy. OTOH, it is nice to have someone in office that is not concerned with ramming things through with a majority.

The only problem with that is you have a tendency to end up with a cup of vanilla ice cream with 47 different toppings. (which sounds fine until you get to the capers).

You can’t do without words for things; it’s the only way you can talk.

What

. I wasn't suggesting otherwise

Sorry, I was referring to what you had called "terminology."

I can see I was unclear; bad terminology.

**derty** · 03-09-2010, 02:01 PM

Yes, sarcasm aside, my point

You could say the rich make jobs for the poor, and the poor make wealth for the rich. To get really rich, it helps to have those minimum-wagers.

Well, obviously minimum-wagers are important but some people need to control their spending too,

Fox News is Conservative, so I'm going with Liberal.

That wasn't so hard.

Modern Liberalism = Communism/Socialism
Conservatism/Right-Wing = Fascism

Both roads lead to an increase in the power/size of Government and a decrease in Personal Freedom/Liberty. A catch-22, A dilemma: fortunately there is a better way to go.

The poll is a false dichotomy so I will abstain from voting: but much can be learned by the responses it generates.

You mean you didn't have to agonize?

... fortunately there is a better way to go.

Well, let's hear it.

... much can be learned by the responses it generates.

I agree ... but I wish I'd learned more from yours.
