The Democrats Problem.

[mercury14]

Diversity never works out in practice, unless we're talking about cuisine, music, art, fashion. What always works is common-cause and common interests. Diversity is Babel.

When I sit down and think about it I see that folks of different races, ages, genders, cultures, religions, and sexual orientations share common causes and interests. They want a happy family life. They want freedom and a little control over their lives. They want to find success in what they do and make a difference.

You say you have a psyc background so let's look at it from Glasser's Choice Theory. The five basic needs are Survival, Freedom, Belonging, Power/significance, and Fun. These are things that we all share regardless of our race, politics, etc. Your common causes and interests can be found right here. Sure they'll come in different forms because individuals seek to get their needs met in different ways. But if you just pause for a moment to recognize and appreciate the fact that we're all trying to get to the same place you just might find yourself a bit less suspicious of your fellow Americans.

Yes, but faggots and Niggaz and ragheads insist on doing it in the street, to scare little children and the horses.

And Glasser would say that if someone is trying to get their needs met in such a way that infringes on your ability to meet your own needs, that's not okay. In fact that's problematic and dysfunctional on their part.

When two men walk down the street and kiss which of your needs are you less able to meet?

If it were two women kissing, it might enhance my ability to meet personal needs.

You can substitute whatever you please for 'kissing' and arrive at the same place. They could be fighting or sodomizing or painting each other with glossy carnival poster red enamel or grilling cats. And if they were smoking or drinking or eating Twinkies the police would club them and drag them off to the White House for Michelle to discipline.

The place I refer to is, I DONT LIKE IT. And I DONT LIKE IT is a real constraint if I can enforce it. Besides, Glasser is an assclown.

There are two next door to me who kiss. Most disgusting scene I ever witnessed. Each is mid 50s, 200 plus pounds, about 5 feet tall (one has a kinda goatee), and both look like they have mange (they cut their hair about 1/4 inch long but not evenly). Typical lesbians.

I'm a tranny e.e.cummings/cormac mccarthy. Expect a visit from Michelle and Sandra Fluke to properly discipline your prejudice.

Michelle will admonish me to "Eet moЯ Fluke Fish?"

Looking out on the people assembled at the Democrat National Convention whats obvious is the majority of brown faces in the audience: Blacks, Latinos, Muslims, etc. The rest are sundry liberal whites: Perfessers, Gays, Lawyers, Journalists, Atheists, Jews.

Yuh gotta wonder how the party will control such diverse groups who are so antagonistic to each other. How do you reconcile a Jew with a Muslim or black?

The seeds of destruction are in this diversity.

James you are too gentle. Both Democrats and Republicans are part of the same oligarchy of special interest groups that occasionally swap, but essentially share the opportunity to use their hold on Government to screw the country and its people. It's not bad enough yet for Ami's revolution, but if someone doesn't get a grip on the size of government, and government spending soon America will go the way of Europe.

Europe is broken, financially and socially they just haven't woken up to it yet, but the next generation will. Neither Obama nor Romney will be able to keep the political snouts out of the trough - it's the only game they know.

From his responses obviously he has a need to not be offended, so he wants the government to create a PC police to patrol the country to make sure no one is doing anything that would offend anyone.

I'm sure some people are offended by his posts, so obviously all his posts would have to pass through the board of censors and redacted to prevent any offense.

Was there, or was there not a great, motivating speech last might?



Did it not fire up the Democrats?



Provide a bump?



That might prove to be a problem... Did they, or did they not demand where the Republican Convention speech thread was?

"I don't like it" isn't evidence that they impede your freedom or your ability to meet your needs though.

Glasser is a badass.

I just heard Obama's speech a few minutes ago. I'd say the first 2/3 were very average and the last 1/3 was quite good. But the bar is set so high for Obama's orations; if Romney gave a speech as good as Obama's, folks would say he did an AMAZING job.

I don't think conventions give much of a bump anymore, not the 5-6 points like they used to. I suspect Obama will get 1-2 points, slightly more than Romney's.

Overall the Democratic Convention was easily better than the Republican one. In terms of speeches...

Obama >> Romney
Biden > Ryan
Michelle >> Ann (though Ann's speech was solid)
Clinton >>> Any speech the Republicans made
Any Dem speaker >>>> Clint Eastwood
Dem convention arrangement >>> Republican arrangement

I thought Rubio's speech was very well done, the best on the GOP side. I wanted to like Christie's speech and it was okay, but he's at his best shooting from the hip, not reading teleprompters.

The energy and enthusiasm level was much higher on the Democratic side for sure.

I think the republicans really shot themselves in the foot and helped the democrats who coordinated their messaging far better and for once, took full advantage of the republican mistakes.

Christie spoke of telling the truth to be followed by Ryan playing fast and loose with the facts.

The dems seized on Romney's gaffe of not even mentioning the troops (especially during a time of war) and gave Obama and Biden the opportunity to seize the patriotic appreciating the sacrifice ground.

Obamas speech was extremely well done with tremendous subtlety.

The fact that some other people think like you also doesn't mean your freedom or your ability to meet your needs is being infringed upon.

 

[NeverEndingMe]

Well the first problem is their hate for capitalism.

Second problem, we do not have enough “rich” people in Amerikka to support the socialist states of obama’s welfare land.
