@okie,
Quote:Also, older men probably approach politics using reason instead of emotion,
I would laugh if that statement weren't so pathetic. Reason, from the American Right? Those so-called men are the same creeps who were frat boys in college and sexual bullies who drank too much. They just got older while refusing to grow up.
Quote:conservatives are likely to have moral standards, so sure they are going to oppose abortion and same sex marriage
While I would rather not use the word moral myself, because I prefer both the word ethics and what it connotes, I have never found much that is "moral" about the American right.
Here is just one recent example of how "moral" those who oppose same sex marriage are:

When I think of the anti-abortion people, I first remember the man who spat in my daughter's face when she was a college student temping at Brigham and Women's Hospital, in a cancer unit. He was an anti-abortion demonstrator.
I also think of how pushy conservative men were about sex during the 60s and 70s.
Then, I think of teenaged girls from families of drug addicts, becoming pregnant and raising their babies in less than laudable family situations. I think of a young woman I once worked with who became pregnant by a man she hated but had the child. Why anyone with reason would raise the child of a man she hated is beyond me.
Let's be realistic, there are many times when an abortion is the more ethical, the more moral choice.
Quote:Obama is a radical liberal Democrat
He's a centrist at best.
Quote:Fox News provides a much more balanced presentation of news than some other networks that have been in the tank for Democrats a very long time
As a former working journalist, I can tell you Fox is a pitiful organization. NPR is both intelligent and balanced. Very little of the mass media in anywhere but the right. The Democrats are a centrist to right party.
Quote:I think the conservatives typically think like most Americans thought a few decades ago
Does that mean the conservatives want to lynch Negroes? That they want their women to be barefoot and pregnant because college is a waste of time for girls? Do they still want to kill commies or gooks or ragheads or whoever the current bad guys are?
Quote:The culture has degenerated for more than one reason
The word you wanted was deteriorated, but, as I remember, you are the one that hates NY and Europe. So, how, for you has the "culture" deteriorated? You give little evidence of intellectualism, polish, learning, culture, thought, reason, etc.
