Are you finding it harder to live in America because of right wing conservatives

Are you finding it harder to live in America because of right wing conservatives.?
It seems like the right wing is moving farther and farther from where America should be going. They are becoming more and more selfish and less and less compassionate and tolerant. It's becoming difficult to live in the same country as them.

"are becoming more and more selfish and less and less compassionate and tolerant." Which is only a problem for someone who is incapable of self-sufficiency and incapable of following the laws.

If you don't mind driving to your insecure job in your expensive, deadly car - the drug war, the foreign invasions you pay for, the random violence, the dirty environment, or the hateful attitude You can be right at home.

Feel free to leave. And we aren't becoming less compassionate and tolerant, just less brainwashed. I knew this would happen, and I'm glad.

You are free to leave at any time. Europe is full of leftists like yourself...maybe you will have an easier time "tolerating" them. Huh, the irony...a "tolerant" leftist can't tolerate his fellow Americans that disagree with him. This country always has been, is, and always will be center- right...so sorry.

I have some friends at my local bar and i have one friend in particular who is very right wing. I never want to talk politics with this guy because he starts yelling and calling me names (i would like to add i never do either) so in this one small example I would say yes it is getting harder to deal with conservatives. The funny thing is that cons all think ronald reagan was a god but by today's standards of a conservative he would be considered pretty moderate, no question about it the right is steadily moving further and further to the right.

If you really believe that, there are lots and lots of airports, one way ticket to anywhere, don't let the door hit ya, where the good lord split ya. Bye now, good luck in Europe or where ever.

I hear Tijuana has some vacancies. Adios.

No. As distasteful as I find a lot of the rhetoric, on both sides, we are still able to live in relative freedom, which is all any society ever allows. Some will try to force their prejudices on the country, but there will always be a backlash later. It just makes me sad to see the fear that requires them to believe that there is always a solution that involves hurting other people that will finally make them happy.

I agree. I think some of these people are potentially violent, and they're scared of change and intolerant of others. I think the most mentally unstable among them will commit more than one murder over the next few years, in part because of the violent rhetoric used by rightwing talk show hosts. However, I think the bigger and more fundamental problem is that economically, American capitalism just isn't working well anymore. That's what's feeding the rage and fear and despair on the political right, I suspect, and that's what American government and American industry need to address before it's too late. We all know the drill: jobs in many industries have been disappearing, while the bursting of the "dot.com" bubble in 2000 and the collapse of the investment bubble in "subprime mortgages" in 2008 left millions of Americans feeling insecure & fearful about the future. Meanwhile, some of the largest US based corporations have legally defaulted on their pension fund obligations to retired workers, using the bankruptcy laws and other means to escape from their agreements to care for their retirees in old age -- thus spreading fear among older people. Meanwhile, American businesses -- with the help of brilliant software engineers & hardware entrepreneurs and systems engineers -- keep eliminating more and more jobs through the use of computers. At the same time, a massive wave of new immigrants -- both legal & and illegal -- is exposing low-income Americans to competition for jobs at the bottom of the economy, driving down wages. And simultaneously, global "free trade" makes it easier & easier for American corporations to ship jobs, factories and capital investment to Third World locations like China, where labor is cheap & there are no effective environmental laws. I think these bad economic trends are making all Americans more frightened and more intolerant. I don't think it's the right wing conservatives alone. What to do about the problem is another question, of course. -- democratic socialist / marxist humanist / civil libertarian

Yeah.. I'm sure conservatives paying for your welfare check makes it harder for you..

I think it's becoming harder to be nice to each other when some parts of the country view their fellow citizens as their sworn enemies, thanks in large part to the exclusionary hatred of religiously correct control freaks who trick themselves into seats of political power in order to demand a religious utopia town mission statement, a handful of towns in Ca are quite fond of this totalitarian form of local governance. Sadly, I live in a highly corrupt conservative town that has tried to constantly sweep unfunded pension benefits under the proverbial rug, even smearing the previous city attorney for daring to challenge the status quo of city corruption. I guess it's can't get much worse than the amount of outrage it took to shed some light on the outrageous salary's being paid to the city council of Bell, Ca.
