I s...Gee, I'm not sure what to say about that. I should start by saying that I think "liberals" and "conservatives" are neither a majority of Americans in the first place, and when you boil it down, issue by issue, the labels themselves are almost completely moot. As a quirk of our two-party system, which is pretty unique in Western Civilization, we tend to "bipolarize" everything. But in reality, there are <em>many</em> different mixes of political philosophy in America, but they don't have a color available in this bi-chromatic palette. I think this is why most Americans are politically disaffected, and neither liberal nor conservative in any substantive sense.<br /><br />Now, to say conservatives are optimists and liberals are pessimists? I disagree. There are plenty of pessimists and optimists among conservatives and liberals. And if someone is complaining about something, that doesn't necessarily make them pessimistic anyway. <br /><br />Activists are the people doing the complaining, at least they become the face of it and take whatever attention-getting actions to address their complaints. They are a tiny, tiny minority of the Americans. They are conservative and liberal, and some other things, and tend to be hyper-so about it. They are not a large faction of anyone. They are a tiny, tiny minority of people.<br /><br />JMJJersey McJoneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15426560061830038806noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-145653764764266444.post-14628854144340125352017-04-28T12:10:17.395-04:002017-04-28T12:10:17.395-04:00Oh, give it a rest.

You'd be far more concerned with your well-being in some hick bar or some ghetto than you would on any college campus 99.9999999999% of the time.<br /><br />And no one is silencing the opposition! There are plenty of crackpots, ideologues, wingnuts, and scoundrels for us to enjoy. Ann Coulter will sell more books because of this than she ever would had she just agreed with the changed terms of the Berkeley speech (different building, one week later). You think she's stupid? She knows how to play the game. You do see the little game there, don't you?<br /><br />JMJJersey McJoneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15426560061830038806noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-145653764764266444.post-46606585409667673342017-04-28T11:50:39.474-04:002017-04-28T11:50:39.474-04:00Have you noticed that ever since Donald Trump was ...Have you noticed that ever since Donald Trump was elected President, the left has been peeing down their own leg. They've are freaked out.I'm not exactly sure why - other than the fact that they buy into propaganda. But the proof is in the pudding, just look at those Progressives "blogs". I myself wouldn't even call them blogs, but I'm going to respect Mr. FT's blog and not use the language that I would other wise use. . The upside to it is that they've suddenly embraced the U.S. Constitution. The people who pushed so hard for the federal government to control everything are now talking about "state's rights".<br /><br />California has taken that to a new level with their proposed healthcare bill. I could not applaud that hell-hole state more. This is 100% constitutional (assuming their state constitution - which admittedly I am not familiar with - doesn't restrict the state in this capacity). This is how the United States was intended to function. Rather then vehemently opposing this as conservatives did with Obamacare at the federal level, none of us outside of the state of California will oppose this (it's none of our business).<br /><br />If our fascists "friends" on the left will continue down this path, we can absolutely coexist with them. Achieve your socialism either through foundations (ideally) or at the state level (assuming it does not violate your state constitution)It's My Opinionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04450367475880940292noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-145653764764266444.post-24165638176066369122017-04-28T11:11:49.304-04:002017-04-28T11:11:49.304-04:00Jersey man: BULLSHIT!

You then go on to point out the swings in the economy, the failed wars. I cannot remember a State having a lot of influence in the country's economy and the last time a State went to war was during the civil war.<br /><br />California and Louisiana during Katrina are great examples of Democrat management of State governments. I am all for States rights and giving them more authority to govern. The democrats are opposed to state control because the Republicans control the states and have, as you pointed out, for some time. If you don't like the way a state is run you can move, not so easy with a country. skudrunnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07610092853412481236noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-145653764764266444.post-8076253924915178162017-04-28T10:27:20.952-04:002017-04-28T10:27:20.952-04:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Don't Shoot The Messengerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17382235346820062923noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-145653764764266444.post-50613822174478231192017-04-28T10:22:13.098-04:002017-04-28T10:22:13.098-04:00So far, it looks like you have none, other than to...So far, it looks like you have none, other than to make fools of yourselves.<br /><br />Why don't you guys have a meeting, and decide what you want to do other than call Mr. Trump and his family all those vile names and post photoshopped pictures!<br /><br />It might help if you had a coherent strategy.<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-145653764764266444.post-1654221447642091632017-04-28T10:02:02.838-04:002017-04-28T10:02:02.838-04:00After all he learn from the best!
