Written by admin on March 21, 2010 – 5:23 pm -Is it the view of how we spend, How much government control should be, the war or what?
Where (or What ) do you think the difference is the hardest for the other to accept or change?

Abortion viewpoints, hands down, are the hardest to change. It’s an emotionally charged topic.

I hate the lie dems keep repeating that they are the party of unity
With a chairman that has stated in public ” I hate republicans”
Howard Dean
How can you unite a country when you hate 50% of the population?

Ultimately, I think it all boils down to the amount and role of government in our lives and the market. That would be the hardest view point to change.

The very apparent fact that conservatives think money is more important than people. *sm*

As a liberal I assert:
Liberals don’t always understand some problems are better solved without governmental intervention.
And…
Conservatives don’t understand that some problems are better solved without governmental intervention.

Ggovernment control. Liberals tend to believe that the government is the best “person” to control just about everything. While Conservatives believe individuals and private business who specialize in a particular aspect are better. Would you want our government controlling every part of your life when they can barely control their own organization?

For me it isn’t ‘the other party’. I’m a populist and there are populist strains in both the Democratic and Republican parties. What bothers me is the globalism of some politicians in each party and intentional overlooking of the impacts of those policies on ordinary people here, so long as they and their supporters make out like bandits off of skimming off all of the wealth they used to have to share with labor here, while paying much less than they would have had to pay here, absent those policies, to sweat shops overseas. (Or desperate illegal immigrants or those competing against them, here.) Granted those sweat shops are better than what the workers there had before, it is pocketing the difference between the living wage they would have to pay under ‘old rules’ here and the sweat shop wage that is increasing the gap between rich and the increasing class of poor, not just here, but world wide.
Then they disingenuously try to say they are only motivated by the hope they deliver to those sweat shop workers who never had it so good, before.
A globalist doesn’t want to see it.
Mark Twain said something about fact never being able to withstand the pressure of entrenched beliefs, which I think is appropriate, here.

Hardest thing is to get a liberal to give their time or money to help the less fortunate.

I think the hardest thing for people on both side of the political spectrum to wrap their heads around is that the other guy (or Gal) honestly believes that they are in the middle politically.
I dislike the Democrat Party because they honestly believe that more government is the answer. I dislike the Republican Party because they don’t know how to govern.
I don’t trust either party because as they have clearly demonstrated the last ten years their only concern is gaining or remaining in power.

While I have always been to the left, I did have respect for the GOP, as I once thought they were supporting what they felt was best for the country even if I disagreed. After 7+ years of a fascist dictatorship emerging, with not one GOP figure standing for our Constitution, but in fact, acting as co-dictator, I no longer have any respect for any of the GOP. It is to where I must consider GOPr’s to be enemies of this nation, and their voters to be either thoughtless followers or demented thugs.
Sorry, I just see absolutely no way of bridging this gap, even as I am upset by the Dem. Congress caving to the demands of these lunatics….

I think it is harder to change your views if you are Conservative. We Conservatives believe in morals, family values, and PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY.
If you are a decent hard-working person and you see the liberals constantly give away YOUR money to buy votes…lots of people then become Conservatives.

Well for the liberals,I think that changing free spending,that is massive amounts of aid for social service programs,without empowering people to become more independent,and less dependent on Govt aid is an issue. With the conservatives,just accepting change seems to be the biggest obstacle.Most conservatives still believe in ideologies and policies that are outdated,and do not fit the scope of a healthy,progressive America.
