Santorum publishes Extremist Views in his New Book

[○∙◄☻¥tπ[╪AV┼cVê└]

Casey does not have the poltical expirience, nor the convienence, of not allowing himself to be rolled over by the Moveon's and Howard Dean.  You watch.  When this campaign is over, you won't be able to tell the difference from Casey and Kennedy.

What?

Exactly why the extreme-right is to be feared. 

An ultra-liberal America: gay marriage and marijuana

An ultra-conservative America: totalitarianism based on the moral views of it's leaders

You forgot no guns, rampant crime, socialism, communism, possibly even fascism.

Much of the left doesn't favor new national gun laws.

Much of the right doesn't favour totalitarianism.

Yeah, they're just freedom lovers with totalitarian leanings.

Tell me. What can liberalism do for me that conservatism or centrism (don't know if that's an actual word) cannot?

It all depends on what you want done. The Democratic party has a much better record of creating jobs when they're in power.

Oh? What kinds of jobs?

Pretty much any kind. There was a net creation of 22.7 million jobs under the Clinton adminstration, and about 21-22 million of those were private sector.

You are under the impression that Presidents or policies create jobs.  Many of those jobs under Clinton were due to the tech rush and then the eventual tech bubble collapse.  All that the Presidents and politics do is attempt to guide the economic conditions in the nation to make it more favorable for businesses to grow . . . however, the markets (both domestic and global) determine if jobs are created, and not the policies.

OK, to be fair, 20 million jobs, plus another 2.7 million or so that were just because of the tech bubble.

Personally, I'm a lucky bastard. At this rate, I probably won't ever have too many problems finding a job. Next?

If being liberal means caring about others, I would fit the stereotype of a Democrat than a Republican. Nope, sorry, point not taken.

If by being a lucky bastard means that you have a lot of inside connections to getting a job, I suppose that the party of meritocracy can't do much for you.

I'm not very wealthy. I'm not white 'enough' to have any real advantage over pure whites. However, since I plan on becoming a teacher, I don't need inside connections when it comes to getting a job.

People tell me how nicely I would fit in the party of the disadvantaged, but I don't bite. I'll remain blissfully Independent for now, thank you very much.

A teacher? So you mean you'll survive on taxpayer dollars, teaching kids some things that their parents might not want them to know?

What parent of a college student would become offended at mathematics, pray tell me?

Wait, you mean to tell me that you want to become a professor and you can't figure out how liberalism can help you? LOL!!!!!!!!!!!

Wow, you totally fell for my setup. Nice.

What was the point?

I don't care about what liberalism can do for me; I was being sarcastic when I asked what it could do for me. I love seeing people defend their ideologies.

So you'd rather just take all of the benefits of liberalism without supporting it?
