First, I'll give this disclaimer...... I am a moderate Democrat, probably a Libertarian, truth be told. I believe in social liberalism and governmental fiscal responsibility.

I just thought I'd start a thread on the hypocracies and the powerplays both sides do. It is because of this I truly believe the nation is in the decline it is. If it were not for our military might and the fact we abuse credit our country would be borderline 3rd world right now.

Tell the hypocracies and bitch all you want BUT just for peace of mind, give ways the country can improve and what YOU are doing to improve it and no personal attacks..... remember when you attack someone it just makes you look bad. The more someone talks in an argument the more they either cement thier facts, end up looking foolish or turn themselves around because the facts don't lie and can only be warped so long before the truth comes out.

Here goes:

Hypocrasy = pro-life and no welfare pro capital punishment........... makes no sense. It seems to be very prevelant amongst the Christian Right and since they weild so much power in the GOP the GOP plays Goofy to thier Mickey and says, "heeeeeyuuuuuu heeeeyuuuuu makes sense to me."

Why is this hypocrasy? Because to me it shows that in essence what these people are saying in thier roundabout way is, "we demand you have your child, we will not take care of it and when the social environment and economics of raising him causes you to not be there and for the child to turn to crime. We'll take care of him then in the overcrowded penal systems and hide him from view, hell we may just kill him and not worry about it."

How in God's name can anyone support this insanity? Does it not make sense to just spend more on education and social programs so that the underpriveledged can achieve full potential? And in doing so would that not lead to less crime and safer, cleaner and better cities. Would that not increase tax revenue?

If a lady is to get an abortion is it not her body and conscious that ultimately pays the price? What right does ANYONE have to tell another what they can or cannot do to thier bodies?

I can see the argument, the fetus is alive. But so is the man on deathrow, that you so gallantly said couldn't be aborted.

I handle this by going to pro-choice rallies, by supporting anti-capital punishment groups and by speaking out.

Maybe someday sanity will come back to those so blind as to not see.

My response is, "I like to put forks in an eletrical socket, just LOVE that feeling, can't ever get enough of it, so will you let me put this copper fork in that electric socket?"
