Simple and easy ploy.
Where as conservatives are helping the government keep enough eyes on everyone to make sure they aren't jay walking or whatever. Damned if you do, damned if you don't.
Thats not true, and a conspiracy theory. If you have any factual basis to this claim, I'd like to see it/read it.
/eagerly awaiting the tired Patriot Act (which was written and agreed upon by both American Dems/Republicans I might add) argument that I'm not REALLY in the mood of smacking down.
Why is everything a CIA conspiracy to liberals? Do you guys REALLY distrust big government as much as we do? I think not.. you revel in it and your dependance on it.
Its just when its a large CONSERVATIVE ran gov't when the panties get in a bunch! Even if you WERE being watched, what the hell do you have to hide?? I have nothing to hide, they can tap my phone, check my emails all day long.. nothing will happen but their boredom.
Besides, I think I'd rather have a society with the incentive still there to go out and work hard, get educated and perform my best. Rather than make 50% of the population dependent on the gov't and then the other more proud half to eventually even losing their will to try hard when the next guy does just as well with no effort.
Societal morality plays in here, just as morality plays within the difference in voting for a Republican or a Democrat. The difference is well illustrated here in my example.
I might add (to not completely ruin a old-school Democrats day), that it never used to be this way. The far left has MUCH too much of a stranglehold on the modern Democratic party.. it is a shame and the proof of that failed union is in the pudding..
conservatives, no different from myself.. run this place.
Weakening to our nation in both fiscal and concerning its morality..
The US does not have morality. It is a country, not a person.
Thats the thing see, a nation and its society does have morality. Morality is very important in a just and free society.
