"Should Barack Obama be impeached?"

[Harm94]

tying that to a party is really handicapped, there are fanatics in every religion or culture

I see many republican supporters talk about god, I am sure many of the politicians themselves are athiest or non-fanatics. Just like how there are some democrats who are religious and while most seem to be athiest. Also I have yet to see a fanatical budhist.

Edit: also you are right, the progressives are bad.

What's bad about progress? Or do I just not know what the word means?

[Kearn]

in this case progressives are pretty much the polar opposite of conservatives on everything, i.e. taxing the rich, a living constitution (which is incredibly stupid), rejecting established religions and preaching "tolerance" for others, liberal social values (which in US politics seems to be the only thing they want or are able to defend) and a large pseudo-omnipresent government

tl;dr progress isn't bad, progressives are

[Wynd_Fox]

Most of that sounds good to me.

taxing the rich just makes them go elsewhere and strangles business

a living constitution basically means that the 51% are free to interpret the constitution in any way they want, which makes the law useless

large government requires huge amounts of money to fund, has far more employees which results in waste, fraud, and a greater opportunity for espionage, and regulates and controls pretty much everything EXCEPT SOCIAL ISSUES BETTER LET THOSE GO

rejecting established religions in this case is judeo-christian beliefs which have been the basis for the country for hundreds of years

social values are tied into above

Bolded that with which I agree. I don't necessarily think the rich need to be taxed at a higher rate, however. Just, y'know, an equal one. I'm not one hundered percent sure what a living constitution is, as we already can amend it. Is that not living?

oh man this whole topic makes me glad that people like this are only capable of trying to get confirmation bias.

well with a flat tax (i.e. 15%) someone making 10K a year (impossible with minimum wage which should be dropped since nobody wants to pay 7.50$ an hour for someone to flip burgers) would pay 1500 dollars, and someone making 1 million a year would pay 150000, a flat tax isn't everyone paying the same amount

also the "rich" already pay like 80% of the taxes in the US

I'm not one hundered percent sure what a living constitution is, as we already can amend it. Is that not living?

by "living" i mean people reinterpreting the constitution whenever they want however they want without amending it, i.e. people trying to ban semiautomatics since the second amendment doesn't specifically defend semi-autos, even though banning semi-autos wasn't really a concept 50 years ago

I'm not sure what you mean about this, either.

the progressive movement for the past 100 years has either been trying to force religion (mainly protestant christianity from about 1910-1960) or phase it out (from the late 60's onward) and has been trying to take over the education system

[Alyx Vance]

Drop minimum wage? That'll make living a bit harder wouldn't you think?

[Wynd_Fox]

Oh, yeah, a living constitution isn't great, but I still support a flat tax. I know not everyone will pay the same amount under that system, lol, it's meant to be proportional.

I don't know if you mean phase religion out of the government (good) or out of our country as a whole (bad), but I think my parentheticals explain my feelings on each.

no, it would reduce youth unemployment significantly because nobody wants to hire someone with no experience to do a job for $7.50 an hour when they can get someone older with job experience for the same amount

flat tax is fiscally conservative, you're a winner

phasing religious principles and morality out of the government isn't necessarily a good idea (or even feasible, concidering religion would have to be entirely eradicated for this to be possible, since elected officials have beliefs), but forcing a belief or nonbelief upon people is definitely not ok
