    Nobody does. But I question the sanity of anyone who believes that each and every single last person who would call themselves a democrat actually HATES republicans, and that anyone who declares otherwise is a liar.

    Fixed.

    In real life, there are no smart parties and stupid parties. Only smart people and stupid people.

    The problem is that you're not describing the contemporary Republican Party. If they were really for smaller, more efficient government, minimal intervention into the lives and bedrooms of this country and the workings of other countries, were tolerant of non-whites, non-heterosexuals, non-Christians, and everything else they're currently not then I would probably be a Republican.

    So I certainly won't bash you for what you've described. I would wonder why you're a Republican, though.

    I'm an independent and I'm feeling oppressed that only Democrats were mentioned.

    Now, I don't hate Republicans - especially the women. Conservative females are much hotter than those crazed amazonian loudmouths that grace the liberal camp.

    So I guess I know why Democrat MEN hate Republicans - they're jealous! :mrgreen:

    Because liberalism has been created by Devil, leftism is the Satan's teaching which is ongoing to eliminate our Western Civilization. Democrats strictly follow all demands of their King: Devil. Plain and simple.

    Can you not see all the republican hate in this thread and this board... and the topic is democratic hate?

    BTW, question for the OP, who passed the largest entitlement program in the last 50 years?

    Another question for the OP, what percentage of the budget is "safety net" programs like the ones you mention in the original post? Why don't the republicans talk about cutting the spending on paying people not to fish "farm subsidies" or paying people to not produce anything for the economy, like the military?

    Umm who cares?? There's a very large republican hate thread, several in fact on this same forum you can run to. Those threads are not only larger, and more active, but also they scream of hate and bias.

    Maybe you should fix the problems on your own side before criticizing others huh? ;)

    No offense CW, but I have noticed that it “appears” the other way around… I seriously think that Republicans on this board “hate” Democrats – all of them…. I seriously don’t think they know their own policies and really don’t care, it’s just a hatred for Democrats… I mean, the border wars with Mexico – if Bush said open them up – they wouldn’t have a problem… Democrats says close them up – land mine it… kill anyone who comes across (like they were saying before Bush) they would be pissed because it came from a Democrat…

    See…? I am neither, but I have taken a Democratic position on this site because of the blatant bias and prejudice against Democrats when we are all Americans… :)

    Liberal Democrats believe that their views are based on "fairness" and "compassion", so conservative Republicans therefore must be unfair and indifferent, if not greedy. Liberals see conservatives as evil, whereas conservatives tend to view liberals as ignorant people with good intentions.

    The U.S. Congress should first implement legislation that addresses crucial reductions in Federal expenditure spending to significantly curtail future debt and deficit spending before addressing taxation .Federal government programs for the welfare of the people initiates lethargy based on the premise that it eradicates personal accountability and responsibility from the individual to provide for the humanitarian needs of other individuals. State and U.S. government annual budget should provide a safety net (welfare for the people) for individuals that are medically disabled, the handicapped and for individuals who lost jobs and are/were receiving unemployment benefits and consistently seeking employment.

    Democrats increasingly hate Republicans because Republicans increasingly hate Democrats, and Republicans increasingly hate Democrats because Democrats increasingly hate Republicans. If you want to talk about the poisoning of the body politic, look at the media (left and right) and special interest groups and lobbyists for your real culprits.

    That is a fine summary of liberal positions.

    Why do you hate Republicans?

    Right-wing politics and correct actions are not the same thing. When you think “conservatives” are “classical liberals” you can see why you shouldn’t take terminology too seriously.

    You base your argument on the assumption the belief that it is easy for anyone to gain a comfortable life simply from putting in the work. Many can and many find that this is only a thin promise to lull the masses into complacently. If hard work was the only variable to success then the tables would be quite turned since those who do the work don’t make much money and those who have all the money don’t do much work.

    The argument of left and right or democrat and republican is at its heart, not the concessions of kindness versus pragmatism or even of more resources to the less powerful at the expense of long term sustainability.

    Liberals don’t want charity to replace the reciprocal process of gaining an output from one’s input. A liberal interprets the capitalist mode of production (in which the means of production is concentrated into few hands) ensures that an elite few decide the income of all those below them and, to maximise their own profit margins, only give the proletarian as much as they can get away with. They thus embezzle the money created by the labour of their employees by not giving them the output proportional to their input.

    The 2 conclusions are to either change the relations of production to collective ownership or to simply redistribute wealth.
    In short, social welfare and state funded services are not charity, they’re justice. An attempt to return what was taken.

    You’re right that children are the responsibility or their legal guardians. But that doesn’t mean that nothing should be done to keep children safe. If you’re simply trusting people to be good parents then you are dooming the children to the fate decided by someone else. Not one based on their own merits and personal responsibility.

    I don't, but then I'm not a democrat, I'm an independent. I would have to say I lean to the left. I find the right to be funny, some times.
