"The Daily Caller is a politically conservative news and opinion website based"

What is wrong with you?Are you that dense to believe that the information you get from that site it not totally politically biased? Do you not think they have an agenda?

Its one mans opinion and yet you post shit like this as if its factual news. Just amazing you all folks take this tripe from sites like this as if gospel no wonder Americans are so fucking divided.

Another Ad hominem.

Do you have anything to dispute the information posted in the article?

What's the point? In thread after thread after thread, you consistently ignore factual posts that contradict your faith-based opinions. You've done it in this thread already, ignoring the posts factually contradicting your op-ed (NOT an article, by the way). Instead, you whine about ad hominem attacks, never acknowledging your own accountability due to your behavior.

1. Democrats are middle/right, and nowhere NEAR liberal.

2. Republicans held congress for 12 years, the democrats never had a supermajority(unless you count someone who was kicked out of the party, and then only for several weeks), and then the republicans have doubled(or more) all previous records for fillibustering legislation.

3. Blame phantom "liberals" for problems.

4. Profit?

You can't both BLOCK legislation and then claim that it is also the CAUSE. Can't have it both ways at once.

Post a list of liberal/leftist/progressive approved sites and we can streamline all this.

There is no "liberal/leftist/progressive" outside of a single senator in the government, so why do you think there would be many websites from that side?

Daily Caller is one of the most lunatic fringe sites on the internet, period. What in the world does that have to do with some made up phantom group of yours?

You can't just make things up and expect to be taken seriously. "Liberalism in America has caused the youth misery index"- Statements like this make you look like absolute braindead morons.

"If you want to get an earful about paying for college, listen to parents from states where tuition and fees have skyrocketed in the last five years. In Arizona, for example, parents have seen a 77 percent increase in costs. In Georgia, it's 75 percent, and in Washington state, 70 percent." Doesn't make any sense. A middle/right president facing record breaking fillibusters more than double any other time in HISTORY somehow makes college prices go up almost immediately? Colleges has been skyrocketing for 2 decades now. Besides, legislation takes YEARS to have effects. None of the opinion piece makes any sense whatsoever, yet braindead fucking idiots like the OP just eat up that shit...just like he eats up the thoughts of male on male dickfests, which is nearly ALWAYS on his mind. Probably is the nonexistent group, the "liberals," fault for that too!


Republicans block more legislation than ever before.. yet all this legislation that is being blocked is magically CAUSING bad things! AMAZING!

Lol! You are talking to the one guy who deep throats more right wing websites than anyone else on this site! If you look at his post history (at least the ones where he tries to add something to the convo) almost all of his links are from extreme right wing websites. I'm almost positive breitbart.cvm is homepage and he's on a right wing web ring email list for updates.

These people voted for liberalism and now are suffering the consequences. It's their own fault. Liberalism is a complete failure yet the shills on here won't admit it.

They'll still vote for the "cool" candidate no matter how detrimental that person will be to them.

It was done in the 80's too. /shrug

Many people from different generations have voted for the "cool" candidate regardless of the negatives.

biased article.

This problem is caused by the economic crisis and bad politics in general. It's happened in centre-right dominated countries as well.

Thanks for the honesty and I certainly agree.

It never ceases to amaze me the shit that people read and think that they are informed from. I have no doubt that people like the OP read these ultra right wing sites (or their left wing equivalent) and then later talk about how much more they know than the average American. In reality, they probably know less due to all these ridiculous ideas that get put in there.

Hows that hope and change working out for ya?

http://dailycaller.com/2014/03/28/millennials-discover-the-reality-of-liberal-government/

Some snippets from the article.





What happened to that promise about no family should have to turn down an acceptance letter because they can not afford college?

http://www.whitehouse.gov/the-press...arks-president-democratic-national-convention



But yet college admissions are at an all time high.

http://www.npr.org/2014/03/18/290868013/how-the-cost-of-college-went-from-affordable-to-sky-high



How is college supposed to be affordable when prices have gone up 70%, 75% and 77%?


Young liberals helped elect obama not only once, but twice, and now we are all paying the price.

I am a bit shaky on the article's premise on cause and effect. Care to point it out? Use an independent source.

Liberalism is the only thing allowing you to post from your Mom's basement instead of working for your own keep or getting drafted to serve in foreign wars. Or maybe not so foreign, fighting the annexation of former Canadian and Mexican territories.

Views evolve.

Uno
Unfortunately I strongly suspect their views have not evolved at all. What has happened is that the hope and change for which they voted - free rent, free health care, free broadband and smart phone, free education for as long as they can stand to be in school - came with a big albeit in part deferred price tag, for even with a supermajority the Democrats dared not make that kind of societal transformation. The productive people simply would not stand for it, and the Democrat politicians want to be reelected and hopefully promoted. If I am correct, then millennials as a group disapprove of Obama for not being Bernies Sanders leading a pack of Bernies Sanders who will all face reelection in Vermont or San Francilly and the Republicans are even farther out. True, they must grow up eventually, but as that age is being pushed ever outward I see no bright side for the right. Some millennials already understand responsibility and some will grow to understand responsibility, but the longer one is allowed to enjoy the benefits of adulthood without the responsibilities of adulthood, the more likely one is to demand that be the reality for life.

Not all of us are morons.
Thank G-d.

Except that they have always been popularity contests and we didn't learn the lessons of voting for Reagan, so why would anyone learn lessons now?

Doubling down on it in the same thread doesn't make it any less untrue. Just because the entire world is right of your views doesn't mean they are to the right of middle.

Uhh... Doesn't it mean exactly that?

Right, middle, and left are all positional descriptors, talking about positions in relation to everyone else. i.e. you can't be "left" you have to be to "the left of that shelf." So as a result there can be many issues that are to the left of your own view, but are actually center or even to the right of others.

Andy, Bob, Charlie, Dave, and Edward are all in a row. Dave is to the left of Edwards, but compared to the row of 5 he's right of center.

Uhmm, his argument is basing his view of ideology precisely using the entire world.

It's true that US Democrats would be considered center-right in most other developed countries. We tend to lose sight of that here because the Republican Party would be considered an ultra right party in those same countries.
