No. It is not. I like living in a city where the streets are paved, where there are sidewalks, etc. I like the idea of public schools where all children can get and education rather than that benighted reality of the old days when children went to school only if the parents could afford the fees, pay for the books, etc. I like the idea of pubic services such as police and fire, and libraries, and parks. I like the idea that people are required to keep their property clean and neat and not allowed to raise hogs and chickens in their back yard and throw their trash, etc. on in the back. I like the idea that businesses are not allowed to move into a area willy nilly but rather are required to locate, etc. according to zoning regulations. This of course extends beyond the local to the state and even the federal level. And... if this is socialism, then yes I like it and would say let's all have more of it. Actually, it is just modern life. Most folks do not long for dirt roads, etc., (fill in here with whatever it is that you miss from yesteryear... you know... shallow wells, children with worms, etc.).

All the corruption that makes its way into the system is invited by that system. The system is in fact flawed by encouraging and allowing for that corruption.

It''s not the system. It's the men who run it. Man is desperately wicked to the core. It is the nature of man. There are none who are not so affected.

I've seen the rigs & bumper stickers of the guys who go way out in the wilderness and shoot tvs & leave trash. Sorry if the truth hurts you a bit!

I meant the conversation of a bunch of liberals who are still impressed with Obama.

OK, so that would be "No".

And prove the point you parsed from my question to you.

I think that you are displaying prejudice, and your willingness to assume, if not an intentional untruth.

The truth soothes me, especially when it shows that you were being a politically bigoted arse.

If there is honest criticism, please, bring it on. Pointing out the faults of others is the duty of a polite gentleman. But keep it real bro. Don't twist and skew stuff to fit what you wish reality was. How many of those rednecks are welfare miscreants that voted for Barry? You don't know. I know plenty of rednecks that voted for Barry. Ashamed to admit it, but my own mother-in-law voted for Barry, and she is about as backassward hick as you can find, but she figured someone would have shot him by now. Her numerous brothers aren't any better. And I know they crap on the environment, dumping their oil in the backyard.


The fact is that there are heroes and zeros in every group. Pretending that all the people that do an apolitical bad thing support a certain candidate or political philosophy is ignorant at best, and more than likely just plain dishonest.

Not an example of all people, but one that is truthfully an example of people that showed up for Barry's inauguration.

As opposed to those far right wingnuts at Glen Becks rally.

Looks like lefties don't have a monopoly on personal responsibility.
