I believe it's the famous quote from one of Bill Clinton's campaign advisors when he was running for President the first time. Turned the campaign around.

What did that mean? Can any one tell me what this means?

It's the economy, stupid!

Conservative ideas tend to be more simple because they usually support the status quo, which is already in place. It's more simple to not try to progressively advance, than to try to advance.Moral objectivism must assume some higher law giver, otherwise you simply have cultural relativism or subjectivism. Absolute right requires absolute authority.I am a social libertarian and a loose supporter of keynesian economics. I'll let you decide how "liberal" that is.p.s. I hate hippies.

I don't know you, but maybe you are in the better category of earning, maybe you are among the +-20% of Americans who have a college degree, (which I am currently working on mine), and maybe if it were not for the family you came from things would be harder for you. Sometimes life is hard even for the people who are living within their means, working as hard as they can, doing the right things.

If you are not aware their is a large economic proplem currently going on. Part of it is because people who can live decent if they live within their means choose not to and another problem is that many people cant live decent with in their means. I don't know you but I would guess that maybe you don't relate. Maybe you can do a little more research on the wages in America and what the vast majority of people make.

I agree with what you are saying. I don't think I was meaning what you think. No owning a big house is not a right and yes ever one should live with in their means. But if living within your means puts you where your only option is renting an apartment because a reasonable 3 bed room 2 bath house @1800 sf cost 150k plus it kind of sucks. (to be continued)

Can't afford housing? People just need to live within their means. Owning a big house isn't a right. Rent an apartment.

It says right at the end of the video where the numbers came from.

Hi again HungryNomadicLion,I have a problem with your statement that the more complex ideas tend to be liberal. Are you making the statement that conservative ideas need to be simple?Moral objectivism or moderate moral realism is the position that certain acts are objectively right or wrong. You don't have to spout religion, just there are right and wrongs, where is the propaganda? I'm sure it's not all liberal, 95% might be the right number. Do you challenge a liberal when they propagandize? |
