I'm so tired of this whole liberal VS conservative thing. It's all manufactured by the media, both liberal AND conservative. They're both just as bad as the other.
I honestly think that the media is just trying to further separate Americans. If you take away the social influence, the answers are really quite obvious.
Lets break it down real quick.
Homosexuality- When did you decide to be straight?
Taxes- You make more than I do, who should be taxed more, or less? Or should we be taxed the same?
War- Is our cause just? Should we be spending 3-4 times more on our military than any other country in the world?
Abortion- In the "Land of the Free" is it your right to dictate what a woman can and cannot do? And should we base our decisions on our religion, even though the constitution clearly forbids it?
Religion- Should we allow a Catholic church to be built in Lower Manhattan? Is that answer the same if we're talking about a Muslim church?
Education- Should we force children in Chicago to be taught the same things and take the same tests as children in LA?
Health Care- Should lower class families have access to adequate health care? Are we content with allowing families to go bankrupt due to their medical bills and lack of insurance?
These are pretty simple problems with simple solutions. If we can hold civilized discussions without ulterior motives we will find that adequate compromise can be attained with relative ease.
Leading a country means more than just thinking of your own situation; just because you can afford food does not mean that your neighbor can.
Feel free to take my words out of context and apply them to your favorite institution. It's bound to happen anyway.
