That doesn't mean we couldn't try instituting some similar policies. We may lack the resources per individual for it to succeed on the level it has for them, but that doesn't mean we should be afraid to move in that direction.

Fiscal Conservatives are abundant and actually the majority. On the contrary the majority of people are socially Liberal. So it's really a stretch to say Conservatives are dying off. Some old Conservative social ideas are dying out.




Idk.. based on your definition I would definitely say they aren't the majority. Considering (of course this is only a generalization) a lot of the minorities, i.e. the poor and middle class, want big government. And thats a large portion of the U.S.

Socially i'm in the middle i think, but fiscally I'm definitely a conservative

Social conservatism is definitely dying off and fuckin good riddance. Conservatives in general are fuckin evil and why people vote for them, I don't know. :shrug: I'm not saying that all the liberals are good but I've only seen 1 or 2 good republican politicians. Seriously, the republicans fucked Wisconsin

Republicans are not conservatives and they haven't fucked Wisconsin,  Even FDR warned against public sector unions and they are fucking the taxpayer to death everywhere the exist in force.  Scott Walker is a hero.

There are no conservatives to vote for, so I don't know what the fuck you're even talking about.

Do you know who fucked Wisconsin?  The people who sent industry out of the US, go find them. :lol:

In theory, I agree with Patlal. However, in reality, its not a dichotomy. We have folks who want to spend more money on social programs and infastructure, and we have folks who want to cut taxes on the rich and spend more money on the military. I'm not sure which you'd consider more liberal or conservative.

Personally, I don't understand why anyone would vote republican. At least democrats try to create progress IE: here's a problem we ought to fix, lets do this. The GOP seems intent on impeding progress, destroying ala 'shrinking' government (while still happily taking their paychecks), and removing our rights; but they have no new ideas, they create no good.

Please explain to us how the largest income and wealth inequality in over 80 has occurred during Obama's term? 

Explain why government spending growth is the slowest rate in over 40 years?

You have fallen for the headline generalizations when it comes to political parties, do some research and find the truth.

Democrats aren't liberal and Republicans aren't conservative, they both serve the top regardless of party lines.

Income inequality has been increasing since the "trickle down" policies of Reagan in the '80s.

Spending is down eh? I dunno, because of some obsession over reducing the debt. Or maybe because we finally ended an idiotic war, that ought to slow spending.

Unfortunately, these days it's possible to 'do research' and find any number or sources to back up your own ill-founded beliefs. I doubt that any of us know the real truth.

True that. So vote Bernie? Or what?
