A Country Divided

The funny thing is the country is divided. The right and the left. The Republicans and the Democrats.

However there isn't much difference between the right and the left or the reps and the dems.

They both go into office in DC, they both take a shed load of cash and spend it on advertising. They both avoid meaningful debate on topics that are necessary. They both stick to the issues which allow them to be partisan, which show their position in an easy manner and allow their supporters to get all hot under the collar while avoiding the REAL ISSUES.

I'd say the most important issues in the US right now are 1) the corruption that has been legitimised in politics.They call this campaign funds and donations, but often this is simply the buying of congressmen and presidents.
2) The manner in which elections are held which has allowed the two main parties to essentially do whatever they like and avoid any dissension in the ranks and among the people.

However you talk about these and people just aren't interested. They haven't been told these are important by those spending lots of money advertising, so they stick to gun control, abortion, gay marriage and so on.

It amazes me that people actually take this stuff in hook, line and sinker.

But then again it amazed me when a guy working in a supermarket in Colorado told me he bought Pepsi when he could get Coca-Cola for free any time at work. His reason: Pepsi was the drink of the poor people. Yeah, he bought that advertising and believed what they told him. He didn't think that the reason he was poor was because he was stupidly buying pepsi at $1 a bottle instead of drinking A) something that was free or B) something much healthier than sugared water with brown color.

When you see advertising working so well in the US that it actually buys people's thoughts, you realise how scary democracy is.
That's not democracy.

Basically yes, it's not democracy. The US claims to be spreading democracy around the world, it's not, it's spreading US interests around the world, and doesn't have proper democracy even at home, people don't have much of a say at all.

They get given this popularity contest and whoever wins is controlled by others anyway.
 
As long as the media is allowed to promote that divide, instead of urging compromise, you can be assured division will continue. Hate sells. That's why FUX news is so popular with the dividers.
 
Is this a good thing? Why has our differences become a "competition" which is causing tension and dissention in our Country.... ?

If we can't agree on anything else, can we agree a "Country divided will not stand"?


one of obama's goals has been to divide the country as part of his "fundamental transformation". Divide and conquer, its not a new idea..

thats what nutjobs like you have been saying ever since Obama started running for President.

Despite your best efforts the country is no more divided now than then.


bullshit. This country is more divided today than ever before. tolerance of differing views does not exist. obozo has demonized the police and the military, he has tried to remove religion from our daily lives, he has created racial unrest that has manifested itself in Ferguson, Baltimore, and other places. He has made us vulnerable to terrorist attacks by not enforcing our borders.

you are in some kind of fantasy world. Fox gives air to both sides. The dividers are MSNBC, ABC, NBC, NY times, Huffpuff post, kos, Sharpton, and other far left rabble rousers.

the hate speech is coming fromt the left-----------you hate successful people, you hate Christians, you hate southerners, you hate white cops, you hate everyone who does not subscribe to your left wing bullshit and lies.
 
We don't need to agree. Just recognize that the country is too divided to maintain itself.
I don't think the country is as divided as the professional grievance-mongers on either side would have us believe.


have you listened to obama, hillary, sanders, oprah, whoopi, MSNBC, et al? They are so full of hate and divisiveness that it is blatant. If you can't see it, you are either blind, or stupid.

I said "either side". Since you mentioned only one side, you must be one of those grievance-mongers I'm talking about. :cool:

if telling the truth makes one a koolaid drinker, then I plead guilty.

Your hate is well documented on this message board.

or are you now admitting that you have no personal views and only post the dailey talking points from Kos and huffpuff?

Correct.

This 'divided country' nonsense is yet another ridiculous lie from the right.
Actually, the country does divide(ideologically) before elections

So far, it has always been a healthy, natural and Good response. So I don't really see the point of this tread.

What, does anyone think we should all get up and vote one way? That there are no dissenters to how things are going.? No supporters to how things have gone?

I hope this isn't one of those memes like "Don't elect Hillary because it sets a precedent that power is inherited" . These 'memes' don't work in the rights favor(Obama won, remember) , and it is obvious the right don't believe in these meme themselves(Jeb Bush is running!?!? What happened to the inheritance meme?)

To demonstrate it--How many of you right wingers are clicking your boots for Obama? Not one of you? Even some Dems are refusing?

If keeping the country from dividing so important, why aren't you goose stepping for Obama and his choice for the next President?

"divided country problem" is A bunch of BS

you are talking about political divides, what we are seeing is the country divided or race, sexual orientation, age, income, geography, and sex.

the socialist doctrine is based on dividing and conquering. Obama is a radical socialist, or more accurately a marxist collectivist. He is following the agenda set out by his mentor Saul Alinsky, and you fools on the left are too brainwashed to even see what is happening to you.
 
And yet- here we are- still going strong

Really? Going strong?

If you had as much debt (proportionately) as this Country has, would you consider yourself a "success"?

The United States- still the strongest country in the world.

Yeah I consider us a success- sorry you don't.

We are now the 12the freest country. Before the Obama administration we were ranked #4. Our labor participation rate hasn't been so low since 1977, the Carter Administration. We have total unfunded liabilities of over $200 trillion. We are swirling around the toilet bowl.
 
It's not a lie, it's a question (Country Divided) - it's obviously the differences are becoming much more broad, and peaceable discussion and discourse, less and less.

Sides are not genuinely listening to each other, it's more of a battle of wills at this point.

I just don't see how it's going to get better. I don't think people are just going to rollover and "accept" the recent changes (or, changes to come) without a fight.

What's there to listen to? We've heard all the left-wing crap ad nauseum. The left needs to be defeated, not "listened to."
 
There's nothing noble about "compromising" with a mugger about how much of your money he's allowed to take.

And how is that working out for you?

Always fun when you give us a peek into the mind of a far right wingnut.
