Ok math whiz, what is it when 70% of the people arrested are black and the population is 85% white? That's the situation in my rural county in Ala.You were in the military. Ppl who weren't have far more 'liberal' views when it comes to this subject, as a rule.
I am a proud exception to the rule... except I feel I am a conservative... you know, the real kind, not the modern Flag worshiping kind.
I'm the kind that wants balanced budgets, Federal, state and local... but with a Repub (conservative values preaching) President and congress threw the budget out the window. My local state has elected a Repub Gov and now a repub legislature... their first order of business was to set out to write new laws limiting the availablilty of Porn, gambling and liquor. Never mind those are heavily taxed and we are deeply in debt. First we must purge the state of immorality, then we can balance the budget.
So why do I defend the Dems so often? Not because I completely Identify with their philosophy, its because when we have Repubs in charge they scream about homos and abortions while paying themselves and their buddies the out of balance dividends. They PREACH but do not practice... so I have had to abandon the party that abandoned its principles and embraces idiots like Glenn Beck and Sarah "I can see russia from my house" Palin.
You want to shoot folks who desecrate the flag? Proceed as you like. Don't be surprised when other TRUE Americans shoot you or incarcerate your bigoted a$$. If being opposed to small minded folks like you makes me Liberal, I'll wear the badge proudly.
That really sucks, Dewy! In bad times like these, ppl need their vices more than ever!
I don't identify with either party. I can understand & agree with what they are SUPPOSED to represent, but find that it'a all just words, & the only thing they represent is their continuing to have a death grip on us all, along with their "elected" jobs, while they feed the corporate regime.
Each & every time I get my hopes up over one candidate or the next, they prove themselves to be yet another puppet of the republicratic crap.
I, too, consider myself to be a true conservative, in that I believe in the right of the individual. Unfortunately, our country has gone so far from personal rights it can hardly be called the same thing it was, just 30 years ago.
I think I may have to take RGM's advice & get the hell outta Dodge, cuz it's getting to where I'm about ready to give up on this place.
SMILE - it's the safest way to spread your cheeks!
