Personal Responsibility

I agree, I think your right. When we take away personal responsibility, it will be our down fall. This is what the "American Dream is all about.

That is the basic differece I see between the parties. Democrats want more gov control over peoples lives and responsibility. Make the gov responsible for taking care of people. To make the population dependent on the government.While the Republicans want less government control. To allow people to make their own choices (good or bad). THey want people to be responsible for taking care of themselves. Personally I find the deomcrats right now be to very arrogent and playing the general population as stupid. They think we are too stupid to make our own choices. Too stupid to take care of ourselves. I am very insulted. I am perfectly capable of taking care of myself and thinking for myself thank you very much.

Hello Bestboy, Ya' know what's really ironic about this discussion? Well, as I see it, it is the prospect that one can actually turn over their 'personal responsibility' to beurocracies which survive because of the propensity to offer (and be accepted) excuse after excuse for unacceptably poor performance. Take the US Government for example: They have bankrupted our educational system, Social Security, Medicare & Medicaid, as well as the US Treasury yet people want to turn over the state of health and financial well being to them. Wow! I'm beginning to wonder if there really is something in the water!

Unfortunately, you are right, but no one in this silly country could figure it out until it was too late. Now he's the President. He was the most Liberal Senator in the history of America, and now he's President. I can't believe how blind this country was when they elected him, I know I wasn't one of his "followers". We are really heading down the wrong road in this country now. Socialism does not work, as it has been proven iver and over again in other countries. Ask anyone in Great Britain how fun it is to wait for 6-9 months to get an operation for something. I wish there was some way to stop him, but even with all of our voices screaming during the election, no one heard us, and now we will suffer for years to come. Oh well...
