You're on the right path. I am 74.827....will celebrate the completion of my 75th trip around the sun on March 7th.An equally ever present problem is that many think we should live in a true democracy. The United States is a democratic republic, not a democracy.The problem liberals have with it today is that more often than not, it saves us from being ruled over by a liberal. The EC generally goes against the liberal infested shitholes we call big cities.If the Marxist/Socialist/Communist LEFT is successful in dismantling the Electoral College, they will not need the "rural" voters. The very backbone of the nation will have been disenfranchised.
Many of Obama's actions, as are those of many of the liberals today, were treasonous. He should have been impeached, tried, convicted, and executed.
It won't be dismantled. Every time there is an election people have a knipshit about the electoral college. The problem is not the electoral college. The problem is that this generation doesn't know how the electoral college works. They were unhappy but had it gone their way they wouldn't have said jack.
I'm a liberal. The problem for the younger generation is that they didn't know what an electoral college was.
I am a conservative hawk with complete understanding that some things must be controlled by socialist principles. However, to parrot every liberal talking point generated by today's liberal 'leaders' is pure, unadulterated LUNACY! To blindly follow the principles of Marxism/Socialism/Communism is LUNACY! None of the three have ever in the history of mankind exhibited individual liberty and freedom from oppression as is available today in the Democratic Republic of the United States.
Liberalism is a mental disorder.
I forget who the quote is attributed to, but there is a saying that a young emotional person can't help but be a liberal but will eventually become educated and become a conservative.
What is your age?
Democracy=mob rule. Nobody wants that. Rephrase----Nobody sane wants that. Too, that not knowing how the government functions, or more importantly, why it has to work that way is part of the problem.
Parroting anyone's talking points is lunacy. It demonstrates an inability to critically think. Liberals are supposed to be open minded but not so opened minded the brain falls out. I do hear what you are saying because I have run into that problem before. We can find conservatives doing the same thing here.
I think idealism is the culprit rather than liberalism. The part of the brain that deals with time and consequences doesn't fully grow in until much later.
I'm 47.
I posit that there are only four things one needs to do to survive: Eat, sleep, stay healthy, and work hard. If you add think independently, you thrive. One cannot think independently as a liberal.
