The pathologic altruism of the liberal mindset REQUIRES all conflicts and arguments be framed in the context of racism, sexism, or homophobia. Their life is a game of "find the bigot." That is the the starting point for the liberal mind. It plays into their worldview of vicimization versus personal responsibility. Therefore, if you or I disagree with a liberal, expect this type of reaction.
Much like all conservatives view their world as a constant attack by brown people.
Painting me as a liberal is kinda humorous. I am straight down the middle and the only thing I follow is what actually improves the lives of the vast majority. I want some serious reform of the SSDI/ SSI system because the amount of corruption and BS I see on a daily basis is astonishing. If I could choose any other job it would be an investigator for fraudulent disability claims.
Next I would reform welfare. I know someone who was on food stamps /welfare growing up who is now a top cancer researcher. It's a program that helps many, but it suffers from abuse. If I could reform the system you would get two consecutive years of benefits while looking for work; eight years lifetime cap. If you fail to find work then benefits stop and you can only reapply after a year. I bet that would end a lot of legacy welfare.
On corporations. They are NOT people and they are not entitled to unlimited political spending. Also corporations are not allowed to skirt the due process of individuals by going to arbitration; class action lawsuits are the means to reign in corporate abuse.
On gay marriage and abortion. Let people decide what to do in private with their own bodies. The state should stay out of it.
On drugs. MJ is a gateway drug. No junkie started off their substance abuse with a needle. Drugs should not be legalized.
On guns. I own them and use them for hunting and protection. I feel some level of federal regulation and advanced background checks is appropriate. I feel the government has a duty to protect its citizens so registering firearms and ensuring they don't end up in the wrong hands is appropriate. I feel that if both sides of the debate got together and found a common ground without the NRA then it would likely lead to some compromise.
On business regulations. The government should protect the common man above all else. Our current state allows the highest bidder to win favor. The market is controlled by the highest bidder so a laisez fare approach will not work. You need government to work for the common man and limit corporate abuse.
On the environment. If we don't protect our planet we are in for a rude awakening. Look at the filth in China, Russia and India. Some day soon their environmental abuse will catch up to them and will impact their economy. If we can prevent degradation from happening here we are ahead of our competitors and will survive. China has some of the worst air pollution in the world and it will eventually catch up with the health of their population.
