Conservative vs Liberal

[Delta4Embassy]

With all the conservative vs liberal insult threads and conflict, reading the drone thread the question occurs, of conservatives, liberals, and everyone else, does anyone actually think the government's 'the good guys?'

 

[Delta4Embassy]

No.

I see no indication on the whole, or even in part, the US government deserves the title of 'the good guys.' I think there are good people in the government, but the ones in charge prevent that goodness from getting expressed.

I don't see a connection between the poll and the OP. "Good guys" or "not good guys" is not a cognate comparison to "conservative" or "liberal".

I'm conservative with a live and let live attitude . Small 'L' libertarian I guess . I dislike all that laws and regulation pushed by both repubs and mostly dems who are famous for gun control . I see no good guys in government . Maybe a few good people mostly on the conservative side [jeff sessions , ted cruz] . I see no good people on the dem side .

I write Florida election ballots in my spare-time.

"Conservative vs Liberal"

Conservative ideologues vs liberal pragmatists, the fundamental source of the conflict.

.

Partisan ideologues on both ends of the spectrum continue to cause great harm with their narcissism, delusion and intellectual dishonesty.

One end looks to government for too much, the other end knee-jerks away too easily.

I do wish they'd find another hobby.

The people and the government are one in the same, where 'government' is only as good or as bad as the people allow it to be.

The mistake is to perceive 'the government' as something separate and apart from the people, which it is not.

There is nothing pragmatic in liberal dogma.

It is, wholly emotional and greed/power driven.

The "People" do not enjoy the same immunity that "The Government" does.

The government can blow me.

If I wanna come visit with you, I can. You're free to decline, but I'm as free to come ask.

Can't do that with government officials.

It's not as bad as feudal courts and guys with poleaxes andhalbards blocking your path, but the 'royalist' feeling is still present. Government officials are high atop a hill protected by armed guards and unreachable from rank and file.

pure partisanship from either side is the root of political demise. It's our fault. We elect them, and pay them $172K a year to ***** at each other, then cheer them on for doing it.

And they only "work" 126 days a year while voting themselves raises. Thanks to gerrymandering, some of them have a place at the trough for life.

Good guys and bad guys are a gross oversimplification. Government is neither good nor bad. It's government. The alternative is anarchy.

News flash, the government is much more than just congress.
