Wow....liberals sure take a lot of credit for stuff...except the trillions in debt they've created.... 
I agree. Let's get rid of all the liberals and conservatives and keep the libertarians. THAT would be a livable world.
You know something, I have read a lot of your posts, and I gotta say.... I like your style. (not in the gay way or anything...............not that there's anything wrong with that.) But at least you're consistent. Really no point in arguing which bowl of poo tastes better. Hi msharmony... Bye msharmony... not sure I like you mentioning my name after 'bowl of poo'...but hi and bye to you too,,lol NOOOO!!!!! msharmony, you are one of the loveliest ladies I have ever come across. You're more like a bowl of peaches...  thanx,,, thats a relief,,,,lol

>>>When Joe wakes up each morning, he drinks his fresh tap water and takes his daily medications. Both of these items exist because of the "stupid liberals" that fought for the country's minimum water quality standards and for the "liberal union members" that fought for the low insurance co-pays for the employer paid medical insurance. >>>Joe then prepares his bacon & eggs, not aware that it was the "insane liberals" that fought for laws to regulate the meat packing industry. >>>Joe then takes a shower with the shampoo, that due to some "pushy liberal efforts", has the properly listed ingredients and their amounts on the label. Now he can easily confirm what he is putting on his body. >>>Joe gets dressed, goes outside and takes a big deep breath of the clean-air. This is the same "clean air" that the "loud liberal environmentalists" demanded from the big local industries to stop polluting our air. >>>Joe then walks on the "big government-provided sidewalks" to the subway station for his "subsidized subway" ride to work. Joe saves lots of his personal money in parking and transportation fees because a "crazy liberal" fought for affordable public transportation. >>>Joe starts his work day with good pay, medical benefits, retirement or a 401K plan, paid holidays and vacations because years ago, a "lazy liberal union member" fought, and possibly died for those working standards. >>>If Joe were to become unemployed or get hurt on the job, he would receive an unemployment check or worker's compensation. Due to the "ignorant liberals" that fought for this employment insurance coverage, Joe probably wouldn't lose his home if he were to have a short-term, major personal crisis. >>>During his lunch break, Joe goes to his local bank to make a deposit. His bank account is now FDIC insured because some "godless liberals" worked to protect Joe's savings from unscrupulous bankers such as those during the Great Depression of 1930. >>>Joe also pays less for his Fannie Mae mortgage, his below-market student loan and he attended a state funded university because the "elitist liberals" decided that Joe would earn more and be better off if he was better educated. >>>After work, Joe decides to see his father at his home in the country. Joe's car ride is very safe because an "America-hating liberal" fought for auto safety standards and for the safe trip on the tax-funded highways. >>>Joe reaches his father's 3rd generation home, which is now paid for, and it was funded by the government's Farmer's Home Administration. Originally, conservative private bankers would not make loans to those that lived in rural areas. >>>Years ago, the old rural houses also did not have electricity until some "nosy government liberals" demanded rural electrification. (Those previously rural areas now support thousands of affordable houses in the suburbs.) >>>Joe's father is now retired. He lives on Social Security and a union pension because some "wine drinking liberals" wanted to make sure he could take care of himself so Joe's family wouldn't have to. >>>Joe then says goodbye to his father, gets in his safe car and turns on the #1, right-wing radio talk show. The radio host says that all liberals are no good and only conservatives are good. He never mentions that the Republicans have fought against everything Joe now uses and benefits from everyday. Joe smiles and agrees with the host. Joe says to himself as he drives home; "We sure don;t need those big-government liberals." "After all, I'm a self-made man who believes everyone should take care of himself, just like I have." You tell-um Joe. http://www.americanchronicle.com/articles/printFriendly/60696 This article couldn't be further from the truth and is so full of crap it might as well be read in the local water treatment plant.Considering less than 1/3 of the people even bother to vote we can safely assume that at least half of those are either Republicans or Democrats and a even smaller minority of those would consider consdier themselves Liberals.It is impossible for such a small minority to be in control of and to have more votes to even overcome the Republicans let alone the Democrats when it comes to these issues. If Joe jackass had anything but a moveon.org education he would know that banks are not run by liberals in Government they are run by private investors.A great deal of these banks are not even owned by American companies.Citibank is one one of them. As far as unions,pay,benifits etc.The only thing you liberals can claim is the minium wage law.Anything other than minium wage is paid by the company on it's own accord and has nothing to do with government.So unless you are going to say everyone company in America that pays more than minium wage is run by liberals you are spaking to deaf ears. Rural electrification are you kidding me???Nearly all towns in America rural or not had electricty going to them in 1910.Anyone with half a brain could dig a hole and put a 20 foot pole in the ground and string a few wires across it.It certainly wasn't against the law now or never. As far as your yuppie shampoo,food,clean air etc.History will show that the majority of these laws and issues came from the grass roots efforts of the general public bringing attention to them.High school students,concerned citizens,clubs and orginations.It all starts with a local newstory or a article in the paper that gets the attention of the general public and goes from there.How often do we read that a Senator ended up finding this problem,and that problem,and has the solution to the problem? I'm not thanking a liberal for anything.No one person or group can claim responsiblity for our current way of life.It takes people of all backgrounds political or not to come up with ideas,write and pass laws,regulations,and bills. |

Rural electrification is the process of bringing electrical power to rural and remote areas. Electricity is used not only for lighting and household purposes, but it also allows for mechanization of many farming operations, such as threshing, milking, and hoisting grain for storage; in areas facing labor shortages, this allows for greater productivity at reduced cost. One famous program was the New Deal's Rural Electrification Administration in the United States, which pioneered many of the themes still practiced in other countries. Worldwide more than 3.6 billion people do not have access to electricity, of which 83 % live in rural areas. In Sub Saharan Africa only 9 % of the rural population has access to electricity.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rural_electrification Google try it sometime. New Deal ever hear of it? |

If your workplace is safe; if your children go to school rather than being forced into labor; if you are paid a living wage, including overtime; if you enjoy a 40-hour week and you are allowed to join a union to protect your rights -- you can thank liberals. Hmmmm...well...the union I am a member of sure didn't " protect "" my rights a week or so ago. 3 people were busted smoking pot on company property...and the union made sure THEY got their jobs back. What about my RIGHT to be SAFE in my workplace?? That one doesn't count, eh?? As long as THEIR rights are " protected ". Thanks, Liberals!!! Idiots. |

Idiots. i swear some of the things you people come up with to complain about are just for the sake of complaining,,,, probably because your not happy with own life or aspects of it..... Defend me from WHAT?? I don't do drugs. I don't drink. What, exactly are they are they doing for me except taking my union " dues " every month?? The Unions are there to protect the troublemakers. Anyone who actually goes to work, does their job and doesn't have a problem with attendance gets very, VERY little benefit from the union. Higher pay?? You have no idea what's in our contract so you can't accurately say that. Benefits?? Nope. So what, exactly are they " protecting " me from again?? Lemme guess....you are a pot smoker. That would probably be why you have no problem with a union that is supposed to " protect " me and make sure I have a safe work environment made DAMN sure the company couldn't fire any of those who were busted AND made absolutely sure that one of them kept thei license to drive a forklift. The UNION did NOTHING to " protect " me and will continue to do exatcly that. By the way..I am perfectly happy with my life. What I don't like is working in a place where the " rights " of some, outweigh the rights of the majority. Something our union president said at the last meeting was that he was protecting those people's " right to a job ". Sorry. NO ONE has the " right " to have a job. He didn't like it much when I called him on that one. |

I don't see how other people smoking the substance of their choice infringes on your safety whatsoever. Of course you don't. I'm not surprised in the slightest. How about the fact that one of them drives a forklift on an everyday basis?? How about the fact that there is a LOT of equipment in that shop that, with one lapse in concentration, could very well kill someone else? None of that matters to a pot smoker, though. Doesn't matter to those who come in drunk either. What a GREAT thing having a union in place to protect those people is. |

Scapegoats??
Please. I simply pointed out that the union does nothing to " protect " MY rights. I am NOT going to " thank a liberal " for something like that. They are more apt to protect someone who does something ILLEGAL while at work. Am I happy with being in a union at this point? Nope. Especially considering that they feel the " rights " of three people are so much more important than the rights of the other 300 people who work there. Isn't one of the purposes of a union to make sure that the workplaces are safe?? I mean besides trying to suck as much money out of the company as possible?? Aren't the unions supposed to do what's good for the majority of their membership?? Please explain to me how allowing illegal activity that could very well result in a death in the workplace is doing something that is good for the membership. Personally...I don't give a rat's azz what people do on their own time. Don't do it right before work...don't do it at work. If you can't manage to go 8 hours without a drink or a hit from a joint then you have a drug or drinking problem. My life should not be put in jeopardy because someone can't control themselves. Angry?? Ya damn right I am. There isn't much that pisses me off. But someone saying my right to work in a safe place takes a backseat to someone's " right " to a job AND to participate in illegal activity in the workplace...that does piss me off. Are you going to try to tell everyone that, if someone was doing something exceptionally stupid that could potentially endanger YOUR life, and you were left with ZERO choice but to watch it continue, you wouldn't be a bit pissed?? That peace and love Kool Aid must be some good stuff. |

Well done. " fallacies " my azz. I don't care what anyone says or what some twisted around " science " says. Pot, just like alcohol, effects human's reaction times in a negative way. In an enclosed environment like the one I work in, that can have deadly consequences. So save all your " Pot isn't bad " ******** for some bleeding heart liberal who might actually be stupid enough to buy into it. Like I said...do it at home. don't care. Don't do it at work or right before you get to work. |

I know the union was there for me when I needed it.
Only people who have never needed the union spout stupid anti union crap. The OP is right on with the truth about the majority of hatemongering conservatives. They walk around spouting rhetoric that they heard all their lives, which makes it old racist crap, and try to pass it off as the "traditional American way" which they are right that racism is part of this countries history but we should have grown a brain since then. Liberals have fought for many rights taken for granted by people. ONe of them is the right to say the stupid crap they do and not be punished for it. |

Oddly enough, I may be conservative, but I am not " anti union ". What I AM against is the union doing stupid stuff like this. Our community already has the idea that the people who work in our shop are nothing but a bunch of drunks and druggies. In a small town like this one, that is NOT a good thing to have happen. But...the union is doing absoutely nothing ( and in this case flat out BLOCKING ) to change that perception. One GOOD thing about the union I am in is that they leadership KNOWs that our industry is not all that stable. The price of our product is currently at a higher point than it has ever been. We are also due for a new contract this year. Rather than look at how much the company is making right NOW, the Union leaders ( of the locals anyway ) know that the price is probably going to drop in a couple of years. There are an awful lot of people that want to squeeze every bit of money we possibly can out of the company and damn the consequences later down the road. The Union has the foresight to know that we need the company to be in business so they will not make unreasonable money and benefit demands. Our union, unlike so many others, isn't willing to price ourselves out of the jobs we have in the future to grab a quick buck now. For the most part, I like the union. There are a couple of things that I DON'T care for ( such as the seniority system that rewards someone just for being around long enough regardless of their abilities ) but how many people can say they actually agree with EVERYTHING in their workplace? |
