What does this liberal want from conservatives?

Stop telling me that I v**e the way I do because I want free stuff or expect the government to take care of me. I have been working consistently since I turned 16, am college-educated and have a master's degree, own my own business, and pay taxes and have paid taxes each year since I’ve turned 16.

I v**e for stronger social programs because I believe they make society better for the greatest number of Americans. I have lived in countries with stronger social safety nets and better infrastructure, facilities and programs than what exists here in the US (France and Australia), and I want some of that for myself and other Americans AND I am willing to pay for them with my taxes.

Stop telling me that my race is political. I am a brown-skinned Black girl. I don’t get to choose when and where I am Black. I am just Black. I don’t have a Black card because my Blackness is apparent the second you look at me. Acknowledging my Blackness isn’t r****t. Calling me Black isn’t r****t. And acknowledging that my Blackness affects my life in ways I cannot control is not r****t, or playing a race card. Trust me when I say that I would much rather that my skin color have no bearing on my life whatsoever, but that is not reality, and I have no control over that. There is no race card other than the one that exists in your mind.

Stop telling me that government is inherently ineffective and inefficient. That’s an easy problem to solve by no longer v****g for ineffective politicians. Governing is complex. I v**e for politicians who show a willingness to understand the complexities, consult experts, and devise solutions with the potential to reach the greatest number of people. I v**e for politicians who have clear ideas for the things they want to do (platforms) and how they plan to pay for those ideas. And when those politicians don’t deliver on the things they’ve promised, or are found betraying the public trust, I stop v****g for ineffective or improper politicians and instead support their challengers. You should try it; it works.

Lastly, I don’t h**e you or America. Wanting America to be better and believing that America can be better for all of us is the antithesis of h**e - it is hope and p***e.

My $.02 worth.

I told you already that DrLarry has retired at the present time and is spending time with his family in his megamansion at Martha's Vineyard. I am hoping to d**g him out of retirement since we need his deep insight into the l*****t mindset like yours but he said DrLevine in d**g was enough to upset him and he doesn't need people like you trying to "d**g" him down. He despises big gov and therefore h**es this current c****e administration and all of its lunacy and speaking of lunatics, where has your partner in crime, perm, been?

More money has been thrown at social programs in the last 5 years than the last 50 years and all to no avail. More money has been given to educators to educate our youth but their scholastic achievements are 3rd world caliber while their h**e America l*****t programming is 1st rate. Picking my pockets to pay for lesser rewards is not my idea of beneficial social programs. 95% of b****s v**e for DemoKrauts and then wonder why their communities are full of crime, drugs and a******ns. Getting off the DemoKraut plantation would be a great start for letting freedom ring.
