Democrats are losing their way in America.

We all grew up hearing these stories about famous and pure-hearted Presidents such as Lincoln or FDR (not as much because he signed an executive order that forced the internment of 120,000 Japanese Americans). We hear about how liberalism shaped America and redefined freedom and brought equality to Blacks and women. All of this is true. (Back in Lincoln's days, the Republicans were the liberals, up until FDR) Yet liberalism has drifted from what it used to be back in FDR's days and in Lincoln's days. Liberalism has become a fighting force for people who want to legalize marijuana, legalize abortion (in all cases), etc. Is this really in the best interest of America. Do we really need more teenagers smoking weed as it is? Because if we legalize it, it will make it even more easy for teenagers to get it. If we decrease the risk of pregnancy for teenagers, it is just going to get more and more teenagers having sex. Abortion should only be used in extreme cases such as rape, life of the mother is threatened, the baby has a disease that will make them die nearly after birth/at birth, etc. Abortion shouldn't be used as a last resort to prevent having a baby. People don't want to take the Morning after pill and use protection, they just would rather pay $400 and get the abortion. Contrary to liberalism, I think conservatism has improved over the ages, now that Conservatives want equality for all races (hopefully). So here is my question, is it truly the GOP who is out of touch, or is the Democrats? Because the most of us don't want teenagers going around smoking weed or teenagers having sex and then getting abortions. When you decrease the risk of anything, you increase the likelyhood of somebody doing it. Most of us believe in capitalism and hard work. We believe we should be able to work our way up by being innovative and that wealth should not be distributed too much. Higher taxes for the rich, but do not tax the middle class and the poor more. Democrats in many Northern states have passed legislation that makes them pay outrageous labor union fees that many of them object to paying because they are conservative and recognize labor unions as another big business. Do I believe one party is better than the other, both have good sides and both sure as heck have down sides, particularly in the 21st century. I will go ahead an and remind people that Obama got more money from Wall Street than McCain and what did Obama do straight when he got into office, bailed out all these large companies. If Obama is the average liberal, then I can only assume that "average" liberals are more than happy to sign off on orders to kill women and children with drone strikes and pass through legislature that will cripple our economy even more. Kind of harsh to say, but Democrats will not hear a word against Obama. They present no facts to the table, just biased opinions. http://www.policymic.com... They will not open their ears to the fact that Obamacare, in its present form, will fail. He might make some changes that will get rid of the faults and it might work then. Democrats continue to try to prevent people from buying semi-auto guns. Obviously, this will do nothing as it is more of a social/mental problem and background and mental checks are the only things that can help. Has anyone noticed that these more gruesome murders have been carried out in states that are heavily liberal and are non for their anti-gun beliefs and not in heavily conservative states who are known for being slack on gun laws? It is a problem that can only be fixed by doing background checks on all people who want to buy guns. Some of the countries with the worst crime rates have no gun laws such as Mexico. Anti-gun laws do not prevent criminals from getting them. They get theirs from the black market. It only prevents law-abiding citizens from obtaining them for protection. If a robber were to come into my house armed with a pistol from the black market, I would like to know that I have a shotgun nearly as much as I would like to know I have a phone that can reach 911. Think back to that story a couple weeks ago about those two friends, one a police officer and the other a security guard who shot the robber because he came in brandishing a weapon. There are many liberals who want to not only unarm civilians but also the police. Reducing the weapons on the good side will only increase the amount of weapons on the bad side (ie robbers, murders, etc.) So here is were I draw my conclusions, based off of these logical thoughts, I conclude that though the Liberals are right on many issues such as LGBT rights and anti-death penalty laws, they are very misguided about how people want an economy and society to function. -Al Carter
