...yeah....we're all real proud of her down here in GA. :uhyeah:
Don, doesn't it concern you a little to have such an ingrained, reflexive, response to a political 'construct'?
I react much the same to the French but I have national, regional and, more importantly, family reasons for that. It doesn't make it right but at least it makes it understandable.
Can you give us some background as to why you have such a strong negative reaction to the Democratic Party of your country?
I don't ask out of any malice but because, even for me who couldn't care less, reading the seemingly endless demonising and belittling 'snapshot' posts erodes the attention paid to the content. It would be interesting to hear the 'why's and wherefores' behind the 'headlines', so to speak.
If the general membership understands more about why you think the way you do we might get fewer tense and heated exchanges in the Study. That can only be a good thing for, as everyone is aware, the rules are much tighter now and it's much easier to lose access.
I do think that it would be a bad thing to lose strong viewpoints from the Study; after all, strong views lead to lively debate. It is likewise important for people to both try to understand each others postion and also to explain their own position as well as they can. That way lies true debate rather than friction.

not to speak for Don, but to me Suk, the reason I react that way is that today, every bad thing in America comes from the left
the current financial a crisis? it started when some leftist social engineer decided everyone was entitled to own a home, wether they could pay for it or not
the rampant crime? that comes from the leftist policy of moral relativism. No one feels bad about breaking the law when there is no real right or wrong
deficit spending? leftist social engineering starting in the 60's
loss of american jobs? leftist taxing the so heavily (to pay for social engineering) that they leave our shores
huge prison population? the left changed prisons from BAD places where people were worked 18 hours a day to little more than gyms with free food
rampant drug use? moral relativism + left over hippy BS from the 60 leftists
sexually active teens in record numbers?? more moral relativism + "kids are just little adults, they are entitled to express themselves sexually" social engineering and the ease of getting an abortion. All from the left.
Obama wouldnt even be a blip on the radar if the leftist press hadnt fallen in love with him, and he admires and looks up to people like William ayers, saul Alynski, Rev Wright, and on and on
Dont get me wrong, the left does some good too, but they destroy far more than they create. And the problem is, the democrats have been taken over by the far left.

Wow....all those negative vibes nearly knocked me outta my chair! LOL
Believe me...I'm no fan of the Dem's, but I'm no fan of the GOP either. I'm a equal opportunity hater. LOL
They both have done their fair share to put us in the current situation. Don't forget, McCain voted to deregulate the oversights that were in place on huge corp's. That only added to fire....
I don't think anything will improve untill they're all replaced with people that don't put their party first, but instead hold allegience to the welfare of the people they're elected to serve.
With the elections coming up, a national epiphany would be nice right about now.....

i dont disagree CC.
Many,many bad things come from the right as well.
thier embrace, passive tho I think it is of the far right christian sect, small as it is, troubles me.
but at the end of the day, more of the things that made america great:
our manufacturing base
our jobs
our sense of self
our educational system
our inherent sense of right and wrong
Our will to achive sucess
have been attacked by and in many cases destroyed by the left in thier pursuit of the socialist dream that liberalism is buildt on.
the perfect example I can give, is the housing debacle. The end goal of BOTH parties is the same, for as many people as possible to own thier own home.
the right says "this is a good thing, you can achieve it through hard work and sacrifice"
the left says " we will change the rules so you can get it without working for it"
one way promotes excellence, one way promotes failure
