re: Liberal dems.. is the core of your beliefs that you want to make life more fair?

quote:

The core of my beliefs is that once a person is born into this country he is entitled to a decent, basic standard of living that this country is perfectly capable of providing.

---

In other words, "it isn't fair that some people have more than others, and there should be a minimum standard of living that I consider fair."

Or, those who have more should provide for those who have less.

If this was the case, it would have been incorprated into the constitution.

Being entitled to a standard of living was not put in the constitution by our framers

You are dealing with liberals here.

They think freedom is freedom from want, not freedom to do as you choose.

To liberals, they think being free is being taken care of and having basic necessities provided for you. They think that being free is being free from the necessity to work for life's basic necessities, and therefore being free to pursue their interests/dreams/talents without the burden of having to work to provide for themselves.

Unforutnately for liberals that is not what freedom means.

Who sets that standard? And the country provides nothing, taxpayers do. You are saying we are all entitled to what someone else has or produces. The producers are slaves to whatever standard the takers set? Brilliant....

Its more of entitled college liberals who major in some dumb major like theatre or women's studies or interpretive dance, then after graduating can't find a job in their field so they work at Starbucks for $10 an hour while being envious of the rich people they hate.

---

so you think this is the majority class position of people in the state of Connecticut? I use CT because it is both the bluest and the most affluent state.

More likely, you have invented a group of people that barely exists to support your warped view of liberals.

quote:

---

They hate the fact that their career path is worthless so they want to tear down those who chose wisely.

also, I'm pretty sure my degrees stack up with anyone's here.

"by taking it from someone else."

Always the rub that.

quote:

---

Life isn't fair, and you want to try to make it more fair through government.

Is that an accurate thesis of your beliefs?

---

Oversimplification at best. Certainly there are conservatives that hold this belief depending on where it is applied.

For instance: child lives in a home with rampant drug use and verbal abuse. Would removing that child and giving their custody to adoptive parents be considered a liberal belief only because you're trying to make their life "more fair?"

What an utter load of horse shite. It's amazing that you truly believe that only people with your political beliefs can be hard working and self-sufficient. It's black and white low-brow thinking like this that gives both sides a bad name.

You misunderstood what I said

I was calling out how liberals definition of freedom is incorrect and misguided, not saying liberals don't work hard
