All our conventional politicians have put this country on a bandwagon to nowhere, so that wouldn't be much of a change in course now, would it?.
Setting aside taxes, which I think we can all agree are too high, I would like to know what the conventional politicians have done to you personally? Are you going nowhere or do you just see the country as going nowhere?

Doing fine thanks, and so is the area of the country where I live - at least for the time being - as unemployment is just beginning to take a bite out of our well-being.
In most of the rest of the country, things aren't so rosy, and people in parts of the country that I've lived are really bitchin' about the state of affairs they're in. Our debt to GDP is just about 100% and growing, and we're looking at deficits far into the forseeable future. Right now, it looks like we're about to do what the Japanese have done and are locking ourselves into a permanent state of recession.
Given the two-party death dance taking place in DC, nothing's going to be fixed soon.
Okay so you're doing fine but you never pass up a chance to whine about, bitch about, complain about or criticize the status and direction of the nation.

So by this comment can we assume that you are happy with the status and direction of the nation?
It seems to me that the country has been moving slowly, but steadily leftward since the late thirties, with the exception of a few small speed bumps along the way (Eisenhower and Reagan), and some would argue that I'm wrong on their account and there have been no speed bump at all.
From where I stand, conservatives, libertarians, paleoconservatives and classical liberals all have something to "whine about, bitch about, complain about or criticize."
The only ones that do not have anything to bitch about are neoconservatives and liberals, who, in actuality, one and the same.

America isn't perfect but it's definitely not the nightmare some on this forum make it out to be.

What are you talking about? Liberals bitch and whine more than anyone!
I asked randge the question because I believe that most people who bitch, whine and complain about the country aren't being personally harmed by the things they bitch about. Randge confirmed that.

Right. Anyone that doesn't sing the glories of the state is a liberal. Gotcha.

You do not believe that Kelo vs. New London affects you? You do not believe free drugs for geezers effects you? You do not believe the governmental abuses of the commerce clause affect you? The continued infringements upon the Bill of Rights in the name of the War on X, Y, or Z affects you? There are literally hundreds, if not thousands of decisions made by the government that affect you. You do not have to be lying dead in a field or rotting in prison to be affected by the decisions of government.

Spend 15 seconds on democraticunderground.com and you'll see nothing but liberal whining and complaining. The same is true for the dailykos and huffington post. Whining and complaining is the default position of a liberal.
You do not believe that Kelo vs. New London affects you?
It could one day but today, no.
You do not believe free drugs for geezers effects you?
No.
You do not believe the governmental abuses of the commerce clause affect you?
Care to enlighten me by telling me how it's affecting me?
The continued infringements upon the Bill of Rights in the name of the War on X, Y, or Z affects you?
No.

Could you explain how you are affected personally by everything you don't like about government. I would really like to read that. But I stress, I want to know what is affecting you, not a list of general complaints. How has YOUR life been harmed by government actions.

Spend 15 seconds on ANY political forum, regardless of the ideology and you will see the same thing.
How has YOUR life been harmed by government actions.
Let me paraphrase a famous poem to answer that:
"First they came for the homeowners and I did not speak out because it did not affect me.
Then they came for the businessmen and I did not speak out because it did not affect me.
Then they came for the gun owners and I did not speak out because it did not affect me.
Then they came for me and there was no one left to speak out for me."
You do not believe free drugs for geezers effects you?
No.
Hell, you can't even recognize the harmful effect deficit spending has on you, so no, I do not believe I will waste anymore of my time. This is America and you are free to believe whatever you want.
How has YOUR life been harmed by government actions.
Let me paraphrase a famous poem to answer that:
A poem is not an answer. What a cop out. I'm not surprised. You are unable to list how you have been personally harmed by the things you complain about.

You're such a statist slave that you can't even understand (or admit to yourself) how something as simple as deficit spending affects you on a personal level. If you cannot understand that then going any further is a waste of my time. You go ahead and continue to ignore what is going on around you and sing the joys of government.

I asked YOU how are actions/policies of the government effecting YOU personally.
Why are you having so much trouble responding to that question?

For one I have already answered your question. Anytime the government policies abuse ANY citizen, it affects you or me. Secondly, I'm not here to teach you economics.
If, for example, the Kelo decision (which you referenced earlier) has harmed you, you would be able to say that you lost property to the state because of that law. See, that's what an example looks like. Here's another: if you were unfairly placed on the no-fly list, that would be an example of how you personally have been effected by government policy. Do you understand what a personal example is now?
A poem does not explain how you personally have been harmed. You won't answer the question because you can't and I knew you couldn't.
Rarely are people who complain about the government able to provide a personal example of how they've been harmed.
He needs a big, full dose of that government he loves so much. Maybe a no knock raid on his house and all his $#it tossed around like so much debris in a landfill would do it. Or maybe someone he is close to, assuming such a government lover loves anyone but the government, might have to get hurt or killed before he sees it. Or maybe some rogue cop will plant some evidence in his house for the precious War on Drugs. I always hope that government cheerleaders get reamed because of what they support.
