Some folks are educated BEYOND their intelligence. Some folks have never comprehended the concept of: If it ain't broke don't fix it. Some folks have never reasoned that just because they like the idea, others don't. Some folks have never realized that just because they don't like to hunt, others do. It is an endless list. Some folks have never realized that if they don't mind their own business, they might get their ass kicked. Other folks HAVE realized this, and have passed legislation against ass kickin the busy bodies. ;)

Some folks like my professor inlaws with phd's think they are smarter than the masses and therefore know what is best for them.  Elitest liberals my wife calls them.  Nice, but really dumb about the real world.  They were straight "A" students in high school, scored very high on the SAT's and or ACT's and got scholorships to Brown University an Ivy League school.  My BIL was one of the top PHD's in chemistry when he graduated and was offered jobs at Dupont and Dow in the 6 figures.  He wanted to be a professor instead, and my wife and I make as much as he and his wife, a psycology professor.  Not living up to their potential.  They believe in a utopian society through socialism.  Life doesn't work that way.  Socialist societies either fail or become stagnant like the Europeans.  Capitalist societies always thrive and prosper.  Free trade works, but only if it is fair trade.  We can free trade with Canada, but not China.  Standards are different, similar laws in place.  China has no corporate income tax, very few environmental laws, very few labor laws, no social security, etc.  We can't compete with cheap labor and no environmental laws and lower taxes.  It requires tarrifs to equalise the trade.

  I don't buy lottery tickets, but if I did and I won, my lifestyle would change very little...except you're darn right I would complain about the government taxing a bunch of the money away!
  The gubmint didn't have a penny invested in the ticket and didn't promise and refund for losing tickets. They remind us of the childhood story of "The Little Red Hen"...local parasites refused to help her plant, cultivate, harvest or grind the grain...wouldn't even help bake the bread, but those same parasites for miles around came by to  help eat the bread... :D ;D

   I would likely give some money away..but I wouldn't need the government to help me do that. They can't properly dispense funds..they never do!

Democrats happen to be a lot smarter than you, and luckily are not afraid to let you know. They will go out of their way to protect you from your dumb self. They feel a moral obligation to protect society from those who would excersize their freedom to fail. Never mind the fact that it is they who determine what failure is.

 In return for their sacrifice, they want you to finance all of their good deeds, and as another service they will pay all those bills for you. All you need to do is sign your check over to them, they will do the rest.

They are willing to absolve you from all responsibility for your life, as long as you will just do as you are told, ask no questions and pay no attention to the man behind the curtain.

They do have government cheese and crackers at the meetings I'm told.

A few quick observations on republicans that confuse the hell out of me. Why do republicans always preach individual rights then turn right around and push laws that infringe upon an individual's life? They are the ones that usually produce laws against drug use, prostitution, abortion, gambling etc. I think back to the 70s when our then attorney general Vern Miller made headlines by busting people and airlines for the serving of booze in aircraft flying over Kansas airspace. My career has been in education and adult services for persons with mental retardation and related disabilities. Almost every time the republicans are in control funding is cut to those that need the most help. Republicans appear to not want to look at the long term. Every person with a disability that I can turn into a productive person saves millions yet most republicans are not willing to spend more early to save great amounts of money in the long run. Most republicans ideas on business regulation has let CEOs make obscene amounts of money to the determent of their workers. It also led to the banking/mortgage problems. In many cases has led to a more dangerous workplace. Republicans project an attitude that as long as I have mine screw everyone else (healthcare as an example). At time some republicans in office or running for office can be jerks in their own ranks. In Kansas the republicans except for one ran the dirtiest, most mud slinging campaign for US congress I have ever seen. You would have thought that all the republican candidates were lying scum after they tore into each other. In our senate race Moran beat out Tihart and Tihart refused to make the traditional call to Moran to congratulate him. I could go on but I will try to restrain myself.

I talked with a local political player in southern JoCo on Saturday and I asked him what I could do to avoid voting for either Tihart or Moran.  I was absolutely disgusted by the way both of them conducted themselves.  There was a third choice who had no chance or winning but he got my protest vote.  Since then I've heard of at least one other doing the same.

To your larger point, I've noticed that too.  A rather large percentage of those who call themselves, "conservatives" or "republicans" really want some type of Christian theocracy.  Just read the threads here and you'll find piles of guys looking to legislate their religious beliefs and "morals" on others.  Limited government?  Only when they aren't doing what you want.  It has pushed people like me to look to Libertarians and Libertarian Republicans for someone who will keep the government out of my life and not tax the crap out of me to pay for other's inaction.

I am a Christian, and the only thing most true Christians want is to outlaw abortions, and maybe reinstall prayer in school and at ball games like they used to do.  Mostly generic prayers, just to be reckognised.  We had prayer, Bible verse reading, and the pledge of allegence first thing every morning in school.  We had a Jewish girl, and when it came her time to read a verse, she read out of the old testiment.  She didn't protest, like some, but read her verse.  It was not manditory, and some kids didn't want to read and passed it to the next person when their time came.  No religion was taught, but only acknowledgement of God.  We had less crime, less juvenile dilinquency, more respect for teachers, law enforcement, and government officials.  We had less taxes, less government in our lives, no federal welfare program, no medicare, no medicaid.  I grew up in the 50's and 60's.  Our leaders from both parties came out of WWII and the Great Depression, so hard work was rewarded.

by nature dumbocraps have to act PC . Well in public at least. Why you ask , well so they can be a dumbocrat and get paid/elected.
As far as a rep winning a lottry , he would arrange his income to keep as much after taxes as possible . A legal way to do things .
The dumbocrats would just not declare it and act like they forgot they had it if someome found out , well that's what they have been doing . Some aren't so good at it as can be seen on the news these days.
Anyway they feel we all need to think like them and act like they think we should act.

Republicans Today are not the same as Republicans of the past. I am disenfranchised with the so called Republicans of Today.
Someone please explain to me why under Republican administrations (remember the ones who use to represent fiscal conservatism or so they say) the Deficit has rose more than under Democratic Administrations. The only Republican president to come close was Bush senior and that was with a democratic congress. Not that democrats are really any better but I just dont understand how republicans can tout fiscal conservatism when they have been anything but since 1973.
Good PR I guess.

I'm not sure what to think about "dems and reps"...seems to me after all that's happened over the years if your an actual member of a party you have some issues already.  Your stuck in a world all your own with no way out, all you can do is point to the other party and point the finger, you have no idea how anyone in either party really votes or even what the legislation says, you have no idea the majorities of both parties all vote for the same pork laden legislation that does not even match the title of the bill. Pretty sad deal.  

I understand the difference between progressives and conservatives though.  Progressives seem to think money comes from government, when in fact government has zero funds to begin with, and since they don't think math matters, that naturally turns into massive debt. Progressives are not satisfied with all being equal under the law, they want to make all equal with money and status no matter what anyone does or how hard they work. Nobody can fail or fall, all tax funded of course. If you ask people who admit to being progressive what they are progressing towards, most can't answer, they all have different answers, it's funny to ask them that question. Then they go sit at a computer and try to find out what it is.  (lots of fun at work with this) Progressives can't follow the dots...they can't figure out when you try to tax everyone why there are no jobs, nobody can start up a job or business.  So the more they tax, the more they need to fund unemployment...just a big ol progressive circle with no place to turn but the money printing presses, they can't even figure out the more they print the worse it gets.  So then you have to wonder if they are really that ignorant or do this all on purpose...my personal feelings are the ones in charge are doing it on purpose and the masses of followers are just ignorant.  After this goes on for a long time, even simple words get twisted, like somehow there is a such thing as being TOO conservative..ya have to laugh....never thought there was a such thing as being too conservative.

So the paper here had a front page article the other day...the "wealthy" are holding back their money and saving it and not spending as much, and they said it could throw us into a whole big recession again...ya have to chuckle...the progressive crowd now blame it on people saving their money.
Guess that includes me, the wife and I have been saving every penny for a couple years...ok...blame it on us I guess.  Still, the progressives can't figure it out.  ::)  Pretty soon they will crack down on savings in the bank and checking, and try to get that. I'll be one step ahead if I can, and try to hide the money from the progressives in government.

I here now the big argument is Rep want to keep Tax cuts Permanent and the Dems want to repeal for the Top 2% and keep in place for the middle class. Hey , heres a concept how about no loop holes and lets just tax everyone the same. I make 10k and you tax me 10%  -  top 2 % make a mil and you tax them 10%. Works for me.

  When you use Wikipedia, don't take the front page as necessarily being the truth. The graph is likely one posted by a partisan. No big deal, that continually happens on Wikipedia. If something there looks a bit fishy, at least click onto the "discussion" tab at the top of the page...you may find a differing view.
  No, the Republicans are not what they used to be, too many Rinos. But they have a long way to go before they sink to the Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid, Charlie Rangel, Maxine Waters, B Hussein Obama & Barney Frank level.. :D ;D
  For the vast majority of us, Marxism is still not very palatable. Missourians spoke today 3 to 1 against Obammy's Marxist medical plan.
     Seems like socialism is more acceptable to those either on the government dole, or collecting some kind of government/union paycheck..

the democratic/progressive party failed to lead white christians to their/our doom during the world wars martial law and panic period, so they turned to the disenfranchised and minority groups within the us.  reading up on them prior to the name change (progressive/democratic) of the party they were known as being very racist and trying to establish a "godstate" that would elevate american white christians to a higher level, and build a utopian society.  prior to all that the government was using slaves (BOTH parties, all the way back from what I've read) as a big pawn/lever and manpower was the fulcrum.  first it was the 3/5's compromise (the south, recognised as the conservative side) using black representation to gain votes.  of course this did little for the slaves but it got the ball rolling for black rights- black rights being affirmative action.  right or wrong is ideal, affirmative action is societal control and NOT freedom and social darwinism.  during the civil war lincoln freed the slaves IN THE SOUTH, not the same nation that he was recognized as the legitimate leader of!!!  this wasn't due to altruism or guilt, as he is quoted correctly in most sources, but to hold the union together!  he enabled blacks to become "freedmen" just to destabilize the south.  the same thing seems to have happened during the civil rights era too.  mobilization of the same angry minority group (rightfully so, after so much false hope and promises from the feds!) occured in the guise of civil rights.  this really got people going chaotic with drugs, violence and such and look what the government did: severe regulation of firearms, social engineering/affirmative action/preferential treatment of specific groups for identity politics, vietnam and the cold war lead-in, conglomeration of federal power and whipping dissenting states into submission, and basically a true "progressive" evolution of conservative america from a mostly peaceful and decent nation into an industrial giant with great wealth.  now that we are beyond the industrial age we are behind and being strip-mined.  basically all that crap about helping minorities of any type is bs, all the government cares about is taking N***** status from one group and making us all that way.  the industrial revolution proves it, most people ended up slaves to industry instead of some being slaves to plantations.  I think that most minority groups that vote democrat see themselves championing the cause of freedom but they don't realize that once their support is finally enough to get some key legislation goal actualized that they are then expendable and WILL BE left with the same problems of the majority: being in fear of an increasingly unstoppable federal government.  I wish the republican party leadership would be less inclusive, but they're being WAY to slow about it... and trying harder to just look like they're more open instead of doing it.

obviously there are parellels with the hispanic community that got started by the spanish invasion of this continent (and portugese, french, dutch, english, etcetera), progressed to the missions which supposedly got poor heathens "saved" but actually killed those who wouldn't turn and turned those who were weak into second class citizens in the "new world", and since then (white people getting established in america, and securing their labor force in the former spanish lands of the far south) "la raza" has been dumped by both their spaniard forefathers and the rest of america.  now they're numerous and a political force, so guess what: the democrats care all of a sudden!  they care about making hispanics and whites mad and getting them to focus on race instead of REAL issues.

race has nothing to do with border security
neither does immigration
neither does language

but the democrats seek to offer symbolic accomodation to anyone that is vulnerable to "identity politics", and cause anger among white and hispanic people that have lived together in southern states since they were states!  if whites are for securing borders and lingual heritage then they're racist, if hispanics fear a police state then they're kulturekampf insurgents!  no one can win this way, it only divides us more.

gays are mad about being treated like evil freaks, told that they're going to hell, being harassed and assaulted and such, and since they are not ALLOWED to assimilate, many find an outlet for their repressed individualism?? by doing deviant actions of all sorts.  obviously this does NOTHING to help them.  they feel better when they can cross-dress, make out in public, dress flamboyantly offensive to flaunt their "victory" over us seething conservative/normal types, then get emboldened to run to daddy (feds) to make it a crime to go after them for doing it, make people accept their lifestyles and such.  this makes everyone else even madder and guess what, it just goes back and forth.  because conservativism doesn't accept deviant behavior of most kinds, the democrats are welcoming them with open arms.  do the top dogs in the democratic party really care about gay rights?  no, gays are already equal in all but a marriage certificate in most cases, and no one can stop them from living their lives however they want.  but to be told they'll get a symbolic acceptance from society (marriage, legislation "helping" them in general), they come running and in the wake of it all is gay pride parades and gay bars and lady gaga and the rest of us get madder still, so all the legislation does nothing to help and only hurts.  if the republican party could only turn down the heat on the hell preaching and hateful attitude then MAYBE some would go pink pistols instead of brady and peta.  just a thought.  maybe they would be happy with civil unions if people weren't cussing them for just holding hands? 

it would take a lot of personal growth among a lot of republicans to pull all this off though, to get individuals to put aside differences and vote for truly decent government officials instead of those who give the most disingenuous assistance always with strings attached to sow more strife.
