But what is the desired outcome of this movement?

How many would applaud a repeal of SS or Medicare?

Thank you, Tazzy.  

We have some very intelligent and articulate men and women here on the boards.  Whether we agree or not, I always appreciate those who are willing to actually discuss and share ideas rather than resort to pot shots and intimidation tactics.

Tazzy, you're right, you know... there's a lot of people who depend upon Social Security and Medicare.  I don't think many would be applauding that kind of move, at all.

On the other hand, I do understand the sentiment behind the movement.

Because you're an intelligent woman and willing to put some thought into things, here's a link to an article by Jonathan Haidt.  He's a liberal psychology professor who has managed to put down in writing what I believe to be the fundamental differences between liberal and conservative ideologies.  It's a bit long, but an interesting read nonetheless.  I'll also admit that he's none too flattering toward conservatives and I find that a bit irksome, but in the meat of it I think he has pegged why both Conservatives and Liberals believe what we do.

The sad part is how having this understanding doesn't lead to any clear-cut solution into how to solve the problem.  But perhaps, with greater understanding into where each side is coming from, we might better find a way to achieve our common goals.

My my my, awfully judgemental. Treasure seems extremely feminine to me. But then again i dont expect women to cowtow to each other. Treasure is intelligent and well articulated. I dont always agree with her, but i dont have too. Nor do i have to agree with someone all the time to see the wisdom in what they post about.

honestly, heartcream. in my opinion, you owe her an appology.

See? This is what seriously annoys me about you. Look in the mirror. You are catty and mean and think you are superior. You arent, you come off like a neurotic babbler talking shit and bullying others.

Tazzy simply doesnt make sense but you are a conductor with your wand tearing people down to put yourself up. I feel sorry for you.

As domi would say, You sicken me.

Treasure, that's nice to know about liberals and conservatives but does Professor Haidt say anything about all of us who would be considered,...."moderates" for lack of a better term?
I've heard it said that there are more Independants out here than liberals or conservatives combined.
That's a large demographic. And the far "left" nor the far "right" don't have anything to offer us.
The left won't enforce our laws and the right make laws favoring big business. I don't like either one of those positions!

No one gives a flying fuck about you.

Do a search of my posts. It takes two seconds to call you on your bullshit and then I am off somewhere else on CM or enjoying life.

Please enjoy your little teabagger party.
