Don't blindly believe Conservative or Liberal views, look around & see who's been spot on.

Never blindly accept that people in positions of authority, or celebrities, etc. are telling you the turth. We have a society today made up of many people with political agendas. Many of them are pure ideologs pushing their beliefs onto the masses. We are trusting people who can not comprehend how people in authority could delibertely lie to us to get their agendas passed(much like Obamacare).
You must always listen to both sides, but even more important, look at life and the evidence before your very eyes to come to an enlightened understanding of which side cares more for all American's and our nation's well being.

When you listen to those on the Left telling you every election cycle, decade after decade, how the GOP only cares for the rich, and hates the poor, you must look at the results when one party controls the whitehouse or congress.
We have now had seven LONG years of an extreme Liberal President. In the first two years of his term he also had complete control of Congress. So this is where you MUST use your brain and break free from that conditioned propaganda playing non stop in your head. What did the Democrats do in those two years when they had the power to change this income disparity they have championed for decades? NOTHING and not only did they do nothing, IT GOT MUCH WORSE!
Our welfare roles have swollen and we have many more people living in poverty. Did Democrat's overhaul our income tax system to get rid of loop holes for the Rich? NO! It is actually the GOP trying to overhaul the tax code to stop the loop holes while Democrats refuse to help.

For decades you have listened to Democrats play the race game, calling the GOP racists, etc. etc.
Now once agan, try to break free from that conditioned propaganda playing non stop in your head and look at the facts. How is the Black community doing today. As always, the Black community has even larger % of people on welfare and a much higher unemployment rate. Tell me what Democrats did those first two years to help Black people get off welfare and find jobs? What have Democrats done to deserve 95% of the black vote each election decade after decade?

How's the condition of our families? WORSE! How's the condition of our debt? MUCH WORSE! How's our children's grades doing? WORSE! Have the jobs come back to America? NO!

Don't just listen to the rhetoric each election cycle. LOOK AT THE RESULTS AFTER SEVEN LONG YEARS OF DEMOCRAT CONTROL. Ask yourself which party was correct about Obamacare? Which side was correct about the harm from a weak foreign policy? Whcih side was wrong about how to create jobs. Which President told us all how he was going to reach across the aisle and compromise to get Government working again. Which president said he would address the huge national debt?
This government is the most partisan uncompromising Government in most of our history. Liberal's are radicals who are CONSUMED with their Socialistic Big Government ideology. IT HAS NOT WORKED and is so obvious to any truly thinkng person who cares more for America than their ideology.
Republicans are far from perfect, but at least their policies, if just once carried out, are much better for Amerca's future. Please spare me the George Bush rhetoric. He is not what the GOP has always stood for and was far from a Conservative, even though he was far better than Obama.

Look with your eyes to see how America's doing. Ask yourself which side has better answers for our future. Do you want a future consumed with fear fromTerrorism each time you fly or go to an event?

Yes, agreed, but in the land of the blind the one eyed man is king.

I'm conservative and I'm never lock-step with Republicans, or the talking heads on the right. Furthermore, I try to watch and listen to the other side of the aisle to hear their take on the events of the day and I can tell you this: The right has a basis in reality, the left in idealistic B.S.

The left twist, turns, spins, omits and outright blatantly lies about EVERYTHING! I know this not because I read it somewhere, or someone told me, or I heard it through the grapevine; I know this because I watch and listen to the liberal outlets like MSNBC, CNN, Rtv and other liberal talking heads.

They race bait, play class warfare, war on women, call you names like homophobe, islamaphobic, misogynist etc. ad nauseum and tell you not to believe your lying eyes, believe what they're telling you even though reality says otherwise.

They have no regards for you, or your intelligence; they think you're idiots who will never look behind the curtain, or under the hood to see that all they have is a big ole steamin' pile of bull shit all perfumed up to try to make you think it's manna from heaven.

Well, I'll tell you this: you can't polish a turd. No matter how much you rub it it still stinks and a turd is a turd no matter how you window dress it.

The author of this debate is spot on on all his assessments of the left and then some.

Do your own thinking, never let one side or the other do it for you.

Leftist socialists the world over get a feeling of smug self-righteousness by categorizing and demonizing their opponents. The pressure on them begins to mount when they run out of other people's money to spend on life's losers. The Pfizer Allergan merger will see the new company move their Head Quarters to the Republic of Ireland where the rate of corporation tax is significantly less than Obama's highway robbery of Corporate profits. The Irish calculate that half a loaf is better than no bread. America has missed out on the tax revenue from one of the biggest companies in the world thanks to Obama's shortsighted greed.

I think a universal liberal mantra would be: We have a great idea (insert social program) and we want YOU to pay for it.

Politicians, especially liberals have no clue about business and economy and vote only what they think will curry the favor of their lobbyists to get reelected. Obama is epically incompetent on a scale never before seen and will never side with reason, or common sense.

We have to compete with other countries and we have to "price" the costs of doing business accordingly. This is where someone like Trump with his business background would do America good.

We'll see if American gets it right come November 2016.

In principle, people have to "have beliefs", because society can't function if no person ever decides to take on beliefs. This is why referencing is so pertinent. It allows people a means to progression, without having "had to be progressive".
