I find the libertarian views on drugs and firearms to be too loose. This country isn't (and may never be) ready.
Some jackass was complaining about how yoga pants makes them think about girls with smelly ######s.
I think we can all agree that a language filter which censors the word ###### is just wrong.
Perhaps I'm reading it wrong. Isn't this post the exact opposite of what your thread was supposed to be?
, there are exceptions (Quebec City :( ). I think there's clear common ground here but things like muslim bans and walls are so divisive in terms of the path to that generally preferred mutual destination that the conversation never really gets that far. In the spirit of the thread (?) I'll go the other way on this. I think this is a childish and silly move by the Dems that also stigmatizes mental illness.
Just read the Wikipedia entry on the Bull Moose Party and that is mainly a platform I would support.
What is the actual meaning of progressive? I ask that seriously. The people that I know that self-identify as progressives are really just extreme Leftists/Socialists at heart.
I think everyone would. Their actual platform the year they were created is almost 100% everything everyone now agrees on, now that it's almost all been enacted. Worker's comp. An inheritance tax. Women's suffrage. Keeping records of Congressional sessions.
Yeah, it was actually an offshoot of the Republican Party. It just means that you think that science, technology, and economic development programs should be the basis of civilization, and generally everyone deserves the chance to thrive. Women should get the right to vote. There should be a minimum wage of some sort. Corporations should not run government. That sort of thing.
I identify more liberal than conservative on most things, but yes, it's bordering on ridiculous, and I truly think these two things are driving many middle of the road people away. The Democrats strategy has become "how many inner city people can we bus to the polls, and how inclusive can we get?" I see Facebook posts by parents concerned not about Target's bathrooms, but the bathrooms in their kid's school. IMHO, they have a point.
Yes, absolutely. And especially when we're talking about potential new energy jobs - get those people retrained to do the new energy jobs! I mean, my God, coal miners can literally dig combustible rocks out of the Earth. Is there some reason we think that area can't become a tremendous place for manufacturing jobs? Manufacturing solar panels, wind turbines, wave energy collectors, something?
