bye-byeMI's Blog

Thank you bye-bye, this is a problem i've recently identified in myself and am currently praying and trying to change. This article sounds right on to me.

I think us conservatives are happier because we get laid more often .

Bill Gates of Microsoft, one of the world's richest men, has a political history of supporting Democratic and liberal causes.


Here is just one of the people of whom I speak

wait tall why do you not hate gates he has more money than anyone he sould be taxed hard he should have to pay a windfall profit tax right?

He needs to pay his far share he has too much money and is over paid!

you libs scream that all time and now you are going to hold him up as a liberal God.

Liberalism is a mental illness.

The happiness stems from conservatives generally doing for themselves and being satisfied that their dependancy is on self and not others. The liberal misery stems from the notion that others are obligated to do for them. That is, "the government must do for me", "rich people must do for me", "They have andi don't therefore they must GIVE to me". It continues to get worse and worse with every failed sociolist entitlement program which only fosters the misery and expectation that 'they owe us.'
I heard a quote that goes something like "Democracy will work until the people realize they can vote themselves richer."

I want to comment on this "To justify economic inequalities, a person could support the idea of meritocracy, in which people supposedly move up their economic status in society based on hard work and good performance. In that way, one's social class attainment, whether upper, middle or lower, would be perceived as totally fair and justified."
Bush's family has money that is how he moved up. He failed the company he owned and ran it into the ground, he failed at owning a sports team and does not even have command of the English language. He hardly has displayed hard work and good performance and yet you conservatives thought he was qualified for running this country? You have he audacity to criticize the liberals and as far as Bill Gates goes, he has billions and he doesn't complain about having to pay his taxes and even gives millions away in donations and not to foundations he has or his family has interest in like you conserves do. Shame on you because we care about more than just ourselves.

my argument is Barack Obama should look into his past,And really think he is a person for this country,His mind set is black thoughts and black power millon man march,his pastor.in the armed services so was "Timothy McVeigh.Oklahoma City bombing
America think hard and knowing some ones past,is some ones truth.

This confirms what I've been saying for years. Liberals have their emotions destroying their reason. Liberals see a problem and they get all worked up, they start crying, and they emotionally through out the first answer that pops into their head, "we need to pass a law!"

Whenever somebody says there ought to be a law, there probably oughtn't be.

P.S. I love it when liberals cry about how we need to "come together" but are never willing to make any compromises of any kind. Example, the post before this one that goes on a "guilt by association" rant against this Fox news affiliate and then a "correlation equals causation" argument against Bush and blames him for gas prices. Hell, Republicans are now even being blamed for bad weather with global warming! The weather is political now! After all that ranting though, what does the liberal say? Republican, Democrat, we all need to come together...and install Big Brother in healthcare, radio, transportation, guns, etc. We need to all come together and find a way to expand the federal government and advance the liberal agenda.

We have an adversarial system for a reason. If anything we need more partisanship.

"It wasn't because the Chinese can make the same products cheaper and then sell it back here in America."

You say that like it's a bad thing. Isn't that idea what America is based on, liberty allows everyone to put their best foot forward? If the Chinese can make something better and cheaper AND afford to ship it back here to America to sell it, how will we ever be able to understand what they are doing better than us if we are never forced to through competition?

There are many reasons why UAW backs the Democrats, one reason being that the Democratic Party supports xenophobia and denying liberty, namely liberty of commerce and in this case liberty of international commerce. Things of course were not always like this, in fact, unions used to back free trade because xenophobic policies of restricting free trade gave domestic industries a monopoly which they could use to control union activity. Now, unions have control of the government, enough to where they can force all new employees to join a union and have government to reinforce their coercive acts so free trade now allows for competition of labor. The last things these labor unions need is for people to find out that a starving person in a third world country is much more appreciative and productive a worker than a fat union thug who knows he can't be fired.

I, like Thomas Jefferson, take the libertarian approach that government ought to simply stay out of contracts all together. If a union is really as productive as it claims then they don't need the government to coerce companies to use their labor.

Shock,

We usually do agree on most things so I do not think we are too far off here. Liberty is liberty. You cannot have civic freedom without economic freedom, you cannot have economic freedom without civic freedom. Freedom is freedom. China is currently attempting to have economic freedom without civic freedom, without political freedom and they are seeing the result. One of the largest displays in China of this reality was in Tianamin Square. The displays continue and the protests continue in China against the government. The more China opens itself to freedom the more power the people of China have, the liberty loving people of China. If the Chinese government can only compete with the United States IN REALITY they can only do so by adopting policies of freedom, by tearing itself down internally, because freedom is the best way, freedom is the way that works. China does continue to compete with the United States IN FANTASY, in our minds, in our paranoia, but they are nowhere near us in economic terms.

In competing with China all roads lead to the defeat of communism either from gradual change from within as they adopt more and more policies relating to economic and eventually civic freedom, or through their own internal party leadership further limiting freedom out of fear that communism is losing, that things are changing too fast (a conservative could only rationalize so far in their votes in favor of abortion, the same is true of a communist party leader in terms of granting economic freedom), and China will collapse from within like the Soviet Union
