The difference between a Conservative and a liberal is

[Ame®icano]

Ya know.... the lazy finally figured out voting for a living is better then working for a living.

Were now fucked as a country

They don't think they're lazy. They think, scratch that... they know they're smart.

The golden goose actually has to give up its eggs in order for them to be "redistributed".

It doesn't do anyone any good if the goose lays golden eggs and then keeps them in offshore tax shelters. Those eggs could be used to pay for rebuilding bridges, or providing higher wages and better benefits for employees, or improving public schools, or something else that actually helps the economy.

 

[Ame®icano]

A liberal is concerned with redistributing the eggs that the Golden Goose lays, while a conservative is more concerned about the health of the Golden Goose.

Please define the "golden goose" in current terms!

People and businesses that actually pay taxes. Taxpayers.

Anyone who defends the Free Market, as opposed to Fair Trade, is NOT concerned with the tax payers.

 

[Borillar]

A conservative would see someone in a wheelchair and tell him to pull himself up by his bootstraps.

A conservative would hoard all the goose's golden eggs, kill the golden goose looking for the source of the gold, then blame the liberals for killing the goose.

If the golden goose = taxpayers then why are conservatives so adamantly opposed to the health of taxpayers AKA as the ACA?

The liberal sees a hungry person and gives a fish thus feeding the hungry person for just one day.

The conservative teaches the hungry person how to fish thereby feeding the person for a life time.

I applaud the liberal for compassion to feed the hungry person.. but in doing so all the liberal has done is made the hungry person dependent on the liberal for more fish!

Where as the compassionate conservative wants the hungry person to be able to fish thereby feeding for a lifetime.

This is best illustrated by the "Three Bitter Years" Or "The Great Leap Forward".. in China.
Chinese journalist Yang Jisheng concluded there were 36 million deaths due to starvation, while another 40 million others failed to be born, so that "China's total population loss during the Great Famine then comes to 76 million."
The phrase "Three Bitter Years" is often used by Chinese peasants to describe this period.
The great Chinese famine was caused by social pressure, economic mismanagement, and radical changes in agriculture.
Mao Zedong, chairman of the Chinese communist party, introduced drastic changes in farming which prohibited farm ownership.

In a similar manner to the massive Soviet-created famine in Ukraine (the Holodomor), doctors were prohibited from listing "starvation" as a cause of death on death certificates. This kind of deception was far from uncommon; ....

Great Chinese Famine - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Conclusion is the "Great Leap Forward" official Chinese recognition of the importance of policy mistakes in causing the disaster,
claiming that the disaster was 30% due to natural causes and 70% by mismanagement.
"Central planning".. "Cubicle Command"...

And so because the liberal thinks the central planning is superior truly inhumane activities such as these are considered by liberals as necessary:

Dikötter claims that at least 2.5 million of the victims were beaten or tortured to death.
He provides a graphic example of what happened to a family after one member was caught stealing some food:
Liu Desheng, guilty of poaching a sweet potato, was covered in urine ... He, his wife, and his son were also forced into a heap of excrement.
Then tongs were used to pry his mouth open after he refused to swallow excrement. He died three weeks later..
Great Chinese Famine - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

But of course no liberal would have do that... only conservatives do water boarding!!!

I prefer the "feed a man a fish, while teaching him to fish, so he can fish on his own" method.

That may have been true before 1935.

Now the "conservatives" will ONLY allow the hungry person to fish if : he is white, prays while fishing, catches the right fish in the right lake and promises that after he is no longer hungry , that will volunteer to invade Iran.

Well let the trillion dollars? Come home tax free
.. Obama is chasing a wild goose chase trying to waste million's of dollars in court and lawyers fees to get each and every one. Only a moron does that

Conservatives don't "teach". They indoctrinate. Conservatives believe education is for snobs and want the message to be learned at an early age. It's why they cut daycare and school lunches.

Conservatives don't "teach". They indoctrinate.

Democrats dont do the same thing?.....oh wait its Dean....you are right Dean....

 

[Harry Dresden]

Conservatives think liberals are wrong.
Liberals think conservatives are evil.

Conservatives welcome fellow conservatives who happen to be black.
Liberals treat conservatives who happen to be black as Uncle Tom's, traitors and ventriloquist dummies.

Liberals welcome fellow Liberals who happen to be Black.
CON$ervatives treat Liberals who happen to be Black as stupid and ignorant.

May 1, 2008
RUSH: Democrats continued to get the votes of the majority of black voters.

October 8, 2008
RUSH: I want you to be prepared. There are plenty of stupid people, and they are going to vote for Obama.

December 5, 2007
RUSH: It's ignorance, and we pay a huge price for this. The biggest price we pay for ignorance is electing so damn many Democrats, which is one of the biggest obstacles to progress and success in this country for the individual human being that I have ever encountered. It is ignorance. Devotion to ignorance, bliss, blissful ignorance, is the only explanation for the election of Democrats.

and you claim you aint a fan of the show?.....yea right Ed....

 

[initforme]

I think both sides have plenty of faults. Democrats are tending to reward those who could be doing more for themselves. Not in all cases, but some. Republicans try to fight against helping workers. I have never met a conservative who believes that a person should get more vacation time or other perks. Anti worker pro management. Democrats are anti management pro worker. In essence its probably a good thing otherwise things wouldn't be able to work out. If one side had full control we'd be in trouble. Democrats believe in more pay for everyone. Conservatives believe that low wage jobs are good. Democrats want the gov to help out all the time. Conservatives want nobody to get help. Help yourself. Deems don't really tie religion to everything and the extremists have some kind of vendetta against Christianity, of which I am one. Conservatives talk robustly how they follow their religious beliefs yet come nowhere close to actually following the bible and what it preaches. Democrats believe the working poor need more help. Conservatives see the working poor as a weight dragging down the nation. That's a start.

 

[Dr Grump]

Liberals are more inclusive/
Conservatives it's all about me, me, me....

 

[HenryBHough]

Conservatives save their money.

Liberals spend your money.

 

[Uncensored2008]

I'd applaud the liberal for giving some poor sod the fish provided the liberal hadn't stolen it from a person who caught it and needed it to feed his/her own family.

Also, another forlorn hope......

It would never happen.

Leftists are consumed with greed. The ONLY charity from a leftist is giving away what belongs to others.

A liberal gives the poor a fish

A conservative teaches the poor to fish

A leftist kills the liberal and the conservative, takes both fish, gives the head and bones to the poor, and Obama gives a speech on how cruel Republicans are for wanting the poor to fish... While dining on fillet of sole...

 

[HenryBHough]

Sole?

Leftism dines on your SOUL!

 

[Uncensored2008]

Conservatives seek political simplicity and authoritarian leaders,

That's why conservative voted for Obama..

Oh wait..

liberals are more detail oriented and prefer a more horizontal power structure, both have a valid place in government and neither work well all alone. The rather new idea that either one offers the complete answer to our problems is somewhat ignorant and politically unsophisticated.

My concern is the leftists of the democratic party.

Like you, they advocate for totalitarianism.

 

[Uncensored2008]

Give a leftist a fish, and he eats for a day.

Teach a leftist to fish, and he's back the next day, demanding more free fish.

Thanks for reaffirming that Jesus was indeed a Liberal. Jesus could have taught his disciples to fish when they went out on their boat, but instead, he just filled their net with fish.

 

[HenryBHough]

Those fish need their own Jesus.
