Liberals with guns.

I saw this video posted on another forum this morning and thought I'd share. Maybe some of you have seen it before. Interesting theory.:biglaugh:

Just sent this to everyone on my contact list. I expect to get flak from my liberal friends and family though... :biglaugh:

What defines a "Liberal".....politically speaking???

What defines a "Conservative".....politically speaking???

:ummm:

 

[Tex85]

Liberal, conservative, democrat, and republican... A politician is a politician, all seem to be out for themselves under the guise of serving the people.

Even with that being said, love the video and agree with it whole-heartedly as a conservative gun owner

Don't ask me. I don't ever speak politically. I don't even speak Spanish - yet.

Liberals want something.

Conservatives want to be left alone.

Me;
I want to be left alone.

I don't care want anyone else does as long as they aren't asking someone else to foot the bill.

Very thought provoking video!

I also want to be left alone.....need quiet time to study spanish. :biglaugh:

In a nutshell, liberals want bigger government and have it regulate just about everything, and take care of us all.
Conservatives want less government intervention and more personal responsibility.

OK, I have broad shoulders, I can take it, let the flaming begin . . .

Close enough for government work. Similar nutshell;

Liberals want govermental absolute power over the people. Conservatives want the power over the government.

I don't think wanting to be left alone is exclusive to conservatives or wanting government to control our lives exclusive to the liberals. I could provide plenty of examples where both parties cross their ideological lines on many occasions.

I'm not a fan of handouts to lazy people or white collar executives who break the law and not only get away with it but get a fat bonus too. I'm a big fan of the 2nd Amendment and not fan of gun control but I'm also not a fan someone trying to make oral *** illegal.

I believe kids should say a pledge of allegiance to America in school every day, but I dont want my kids being told the earth is only 6,000 years old either. Am I a liberal or conservative? I don't consider myself either... I just consider myself an American who believes in independent thought and thinks the lens of skepticism should be used to view ALL things... not just things I don't like.

So in the vein of skepticism I would ask of the video in question... how does one register as a Democrat in Texas and Virginia?

I think very much the same way...

BTW here is a rebuttal to that very entertaining but apparently short on facts video: :hmmm:

[Tex85]

But, but I read it on the internet it must be true!

Videos on either side of the fence should be taken with a grain of salt and only be looked at for entertainment value. Anyone who doesn't view anything political without a healthy dose of skepticism is only doing themselves a disservice.

The video was still entertaining in my book and the rebuttal statement as well. After all the examiner.com is a glorified blog site where submitters get paid based on unique page views. YouTube also pays out based on views... Its all about shock value media not facts.

Texas,

Technically there is no need or requirement to register as either.

When you register to vote, you do have the option to choose a party.

If you do so, if you vote in any primary elections on local, state or national levels it must be within the party you optionally chose to identify with when you registered.
You can't register as a DEM and vote in the GOP primary or vice versa.

If you do not pick a party when you register, you can vote in either, but only one, party primary.
The second you, the non-affilated voter, vote in the primaries for one party you are technically "registered" in that party for the election cycle.

The only real point or benefit of officially registering an affiliation when you register to vote is that allows you to participate in official party activities.

I realize this is of course an over generalization. There's a mix of all of it.

I do think if the GOP would back away from the BS mentality of desiring to legislate (or impose) morality, religion, patriotism, sexual orientation etc and stick to the basics of economic, tax, defense and budgetary policy they'd never lose another election.

As it is there are a few/enough conservative nut jobs that scare the middle of the road voters that would desire fiscal conservatism away because they can't stop talking about homos and religion. (Rick Santorum anyone?)

I use to consider my self HARD CORE conservative, and still vote that direction generally because of how I feel about fiscal and tax policy, but more and more I disagree with them on social issues.

And I don't agree with any party on social issues if there legislation creates expense for someone other than the person exercising their "social" rights.

you really hit the nail on the head here Rusty. I'm one of those middle of the roaders a lot of times and everytime someone in the GOP makes sense and talks about fiscal responsibility and starts to draw me in i take 2 steps back when the next guy gets on a rant about social issues.:clapping::clapping:
