In a general sense, I also look at policies advanced by both and see liberal policy destroying concepts of personal responsibility in minority circles, promoting a sense of entitlement which creates an unrealistic expectation and government co-dependancy with the liberal minority voter. While I agree that there are racists on both sides, conservatives traditionally put the primacy on equal treatment under the law, while liberals are concerned about "leveling the playing field". More often than not...on racial terms. In these wys, the liberal truly benefits nobody. I'm not saying that's the intent, but intentions suck when you get down to it as applied politically. Racial hatred.???.You be the judge.
Anybody see something similar?
