Why Im a Democrat

[marty f]

** I tried to put this in the political forum, but was unable to, so please don't move it there**


I may not be able to get a comprehensive answer to this question, being here in the south.

Why/what entices someone to be a Democrat ?

Im not being demeaning, sarcastic, un-respectful or any of that, I am in fact asking an honest want to know question, for I don't know. Why are 150,000,000 people democrats? what am I not understanding?

My wife and I were just talking about this last night "Why do people become democrats?" we both didn't have an answer

Any thoughts on this

Yea, and that was 2012. I heard its near 50% now and no doubt why many (but not all) are Democrats.

they are indoctrinated as young kids just like jihadists.

the old saying was kids grow up as social democrats with liberal minds and once they go out into the real world and experience it for themselves, they learn how those views are wrong and become republicans.

well that only works if they do go out on their own but todays kids live in dads house until they are 50 and never have to learn lifes lessons so this "assumed" idea that its ok for kids to be taught to be liberal is now biting us in the back side.

it starts in high schools and is almost without exception forced learning in all colleges to think and act as a socialist liberal or you are ostracized and made fun of and many courses will fail you if you don't conform to that warped thinking.

until all colleges are cleared of all these America hating liberal teachers and their socialist leanings, we wont have a normal democratic society of people who are capable of rational thinking and open minded objectivism.

that plus almost without exception, most kids first register to vote while still in schools where the teachers tell them to just register as democrats and they can change it later if they want to so the sheer number of registered democrats stems from being taught by liberal teachers that republicans are all that is evil in the world.

so 2 reasons

1 voters vote democrat because they are on the public dole and democrats are the ones handing out free goodies taken from those who work.

2 the reason democrats cant tolerate any non socialist liberal thoughts or ideas is because that's how they were programed to think in school and no other descent or alternate voices were allowed to be heard there.

Just to add credence to Keakar's assessment of the vast majority of colleges and universities out there, the classrooms of the majority of America's campuses are super liberal!! There is also an alarming increase of kids graduating from college that move back in with their parents....they have all the answers to life's issues in their little liberal indoctrinated minds, and they certainly know how they "feel" about certain issues that are near and dear to their hearts. Problem is that their ideas and feelings don't really work out in the real world. Have them start their own business and see how they like all of the regulations, taxes, quotas, insurance, etc. that the government imposes on them. After an education in the school of hard knocks they'll usually switch to the conservative side of things. Like Reagan once said, "It's not that liberals are ignorant, it's just that they know so much that isn't so."

my niece came home from southeastern last week crying because her professor threatened to fail her because she would not agree that capitalism is bad and unfair and liberalism is the only intelligent alternative to fixing this country. I told her while its hard, the school backs these teachers and they have tenure so just do and say whatever you have to do to pass the class and know in your heart that these small minded people are wrong but they do control everything so do whatever it takes to get through it.

its a sad world we live in today

26, Graduated in 2013. I should be a prime example of a young mind brainwashed by the system. This is not the case. I was never pressured or molded by any professors outside of the curriculum. I don't necessarily think its the professors, more of the type of students that go to college and are outspoken about the things they care about.

This seems like a cycle, it happened in the 60's.

to sum it up, parents aren't whipping/holding their kids accountable these days..... which to me will result into "crappy" adults MOST of the time

parents tend to point the finger and place the blame elsewhere... I have a little boy 14 months old and I promise you he will be corrected the way I was corrected and will play outside instead of being glued to an iPad(i wont claim he wont have tons of technology around him but he will not be inside all day long while he's with dad)

^just my opinion, a parenting problem which turns into crappy adults, who then reproduce and then it SNOWBALLs

not all of them in my opinion, but a large portion are democrats only because they get free stuff and a free ride from voting for democrats

you can get full lifetime disability checks by just saying you are too depressed to work and with over 48% of americans on one form of government checks or the other, who would vote for a party saying they will stop such insanity and stop the checks for those who are quite capable of working for a living?

Not all of them. There are definitely those do, however there are some people that believe it is society's responsibility to take care of everyone, including those who make poor choices in life. They believe life should be "fair"

saw a post on FB the other day from a typical liberal democrat talking about the state cutting higher education. She said that college should be free and it wouldn't hurt to cut higher ed .if it was free the only money the college would need is to pay the professors???
The real world is going to be a major shock to this one
