In the United States, the ideological differences between conservatives and liberals often boils down to one major difference.
Conservatives value facts, while liberals value feelings.
So we ask Democrats: Please, for once, just look at the hard data. Democrat and liberal policies aren’t just worrisome — they’re dangerous.
Simply look at what is happening in Democrat-run cities across the country. Detroit, Baltimore, Washington D.C., and Chicago all have massive drug and violence problems — and they’re spreading to other blue areas around the country.
According to Fox News, “San Francisco is earning a growing reputation for more than just its unmatched tech sector – for critics, the city stands as a profound example of the damage ultra-liberal policies can do.”
“After 20 years of envelope-pushing changes to grow government and ease law enforcement, the once-shining City by the Bay has turned into a place where:
- Property crime runs amok
- An online map is needed to track human feces on city streets
- Discarded syringes are common sightings
- Public urination is so widespread it has damaged subway elevators and escalators, building walls and power poles.”
The further left you go, the worse things get. In socialist Venezuela — whose leftist policies Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders has praised — the starvation epidemic is so bad, the military has been reduced to food traffickers
“When hunger drew tens of thousands of Venezuelans to the streets in protest last summer, President Nicolas Maduro turned to the military to manage the country’s diminished food supply, putting generals in charge of everything from butter to rice. But instead of fighting hunger, the military is making money from it, an Associated Press investigation shows. That’s what grocer Jose Campos found when he ran out of pantry staples this year. In the middle of the night, he would travel to an illegal market run by the military to buy pallets of corn flour — at 100 times the government-set price,” the AP wrote Tuesday.
So we ask liberals — please, disregard your feelings for once, and look at the facts.
Liberal policies hurt the poor they’re designed to help.

why aren’t you doing something to her and put her in jail. what the matter you people are scare of her. u don’t think it is right she go free. and if we do something wrong we go to jail. but she did something she is free that is not right
Even the Kennedy Center Awards has been turned into an agenda. I watched it on CBS last night. Billy Clinton was on. Colbert gave knocks at Trump. It used to be a great show.
I knew as soon as I saw who was hosting, I thought, just wait for it. And it didn’t take long for Colbert to start throwing lines at Trump. How low can these people go? And then Bill walks out, excuse me, but no slams for him???? What a joke. The best part was the end !
Huh????!!
The Democratic voters should be very ashamed of voting for The Hillary Clintons but like all the protesters they are going to blame someone else —- Obama is also one who set this country back on its heels these people got into office for only one agenda and that was to steal a lot of money and in doing so they caused death and destruction which they believe should go unpunished I’m sure God is very ashamed of these people
She has been reinvestigated. A lower. Court and irs.she has no power an let the new government git in place first.
They are all blind as bats! It’s impossible to them to understand simplicity. Their minds has been blinded by looking at the wrong things too long. So they receive all truths as lies and all lies as truth. God said if you reject truth, He would cause you to believe a lie and be damned. This is the reality, truth has come men love darkness rather than light, their deeds are evil so they can’t see at all.
Democrats simply ignore anything that makes them seem less than commendable.
Haven’t you ever seen a Democrat/liberal simply turn on his/her heel and leave a room when the conversation turned to exposing bad Democrat/liberal behavior?
They avoid having to admit to any wrongdoing, or to supporting any wrongdoing, by simply not allowing themselves to be exposed to the information.
This is what I call “insistent ignorance.”
Jeanette, what you just written is the direct result of President Clinton’s “outcome based education”; where the government can do no wrong; nothing is your fault and it is okay to lie when the circumstances permit.
Yes, and the BIG lie, shown on TV, “I did not have sex with that Lewinski woman ” So there you have it!
Jeanette, great line ” insistent ignorance”, which still makes them a liar, for ignorance defined means: lack of knowledge.
Well said Jeanette!
Jeanette-
i call it “deliberate ignorance,” myself. It relates to one of my favorite citations:
“There is a principle which is a bar against all information, proof against all arguments and which cannot fail to keep a man in everlasting ignorance — that principle is contempt prior to investigation.”
— Herbert Spencer
To cite Jack Nicholson:
“You can’t handle the Truth!”
Seems to apply, generally, to the typical democratic “mind”set(if you can call it that).
Some thoughts considering liberals:
Don’t Debate Idiots (AKA Liberals)! It Does No Damn Good. Facts Mean Nothing To An Idiot. Idiots Will Go With The Race Card. Idiots Will Call You Names. They Lie, Cheat And Steal Just Because They Think They Can Get Away With It!
A liberal’s brain is kinda like the immigration laws, it ain’t “broken” they just don’t use ’em. There is nothing more pathetic in the human race than a liberal.
Liberals live in a parallel universe where facts, hard data, history, logic and reason don’t matter, all that matters is how they feel. Confuse a Liberal. Use Logic and Facts.
“It isn’t that liberals are ignorant. It’s just that they know so much that isn’t so.” (President Ronald Reagan)
Incompetence and Liberalism are one and the same within the political realm.

You got that right.Liberals don’t argue with consitutionalists.They raise their voice and won’t shut up, or they suddenly get a headache and ask you to leave or they leave.I almost got into a fist fight with a guy I’ve known for 33 years about President Trump vs. Clinton.Liberals don’t like facts. Freakin weirdos trying to kill the United States of America because people we didn’t know had slaves.It’s all racist b’s when racism is or was getting much better.Liberal=Super Stupid.
I hope voters will protect Congressman Tim Ryan D, Ohio and and the 30% of the Democratic caucus who voted for Ryan to lead the Democratic caucus- not Pelosi. Pelosi threatens elected officials, who do not play ball with her and who do not support her in the caucus, with removal by running another Democrat against them in their districts. The retreat, that was mentioned in the press and that is being organized by Pelosi, is to have the Democrats in the House meet and be on the same page against Trump and his nominees. It is is appalling. This is exactly what the voters do not want. I am from San Francisco and it is sad to see 15,000 homeless on the street and social problems everywhere. S.F Mayor Lee, like the mayors of Chicago and New York, pushes a liberal agenda that does not serve anyone. I wonder if the Sanctuary City agenda in Portland and these other cities is about illegals or is a service to the Mexican cartels whose members ‘work’ in the US and cross the border freely. A recent documentary, on Portland, indicated that the heroin use in that city has skyrocketed leaving that beautiful city a wreck.
Ummm, term limits 6 years and out. Cobra only for the usual time period, paid for by said politician. Shop the healthcare market for your self-paid insurance plan. War chest is given to reduce the deficits you helped create. No campaigning for office, we want your employment records only. If you held a different law making office, your voting records and attendance records as well. NO in office till death do you part
need apply.
Hillary Clinton as well as Huma Aberdin and Cheryl Mills should be indicted and prosecuted. Art Sharpton should be audit by the IRS. The rest of Obama entourage Loretta Lynch, Korkine, John Kerry, etc. should be fired. Lou Farrakan ring leader of The Nation of Islam and Keith Elligton supporter of The Muslim Brotherhood should be investigated for supporting and endorsing terrorist groups. This is of part of Draining the Swamp.
OH my!! What would all those people listed above do if they were fired? They have no skills except to live off the people.

The Stockholm Syndrome can not be identified by those in its grip! It only becomes apparent when intervention opens the door to rational thought centered on FACTS!
Do not let the illegal Muslin off the hook as he ha tried to destroy the USA from within and is protege Killary lost and he needs to be impeached and jailed as well. Hillary should be put in a cell and the key thrown away.
This is the party that has promoted right as wrong and wrong as right, black as white and white as black, good is bad and bad is good and you can’t expect them to know the difference now. They are in such a state of confusion that when things don’t go their way they just set down and cry. No more PC with Trump as President will be a good start to curing this ailment.
We, the people, have the capability to use Glogic as well as feelings. When we choose to do this, we are given the strength and power to solve problems that are destroying this country today. Becoming an adult often means doing things we don’t care to do. It does mean doing what is necessary to fix a situation. I am appalled to see the number of childish tantrums today by people who can’t always have things their own way. If the media would start telling the facts and the truth perhaps people would put an effort into drawing their own conclusions rather than being brainwashed by some anti-american group trying to gain power to destroy us. WE must use our own brains to save ourselves. To do less is nothing short of laziness and believing some outside force is smarter than we are. WE ARE BETTER AND SMARTER than those who are trying to destroy us. GB the USA
The result of Democrat party Progressive policy is obvious and the long term result of socialist economic policies can be seen in many countries. Progressive policies, socialist economics, do not lead countries, their people, to the brighter future with which they are promoted. The results, furthermore, are (and have been) rationally predicted. Both lead to the totalitarian state that becomes mandatory (like Obamacare) when natural reward incentives are appropriated by government and the survival necessity of being in some way productive is eliminated. The never answered question: What is the goal of Progressive policy? Not the glorious false promises, but the real goal? The attempt to distill it to basics leaves me with the impression that the goal is a return to Feudalism, a society composed of serfs, beggars and (sometimes useful) outlaws ruled by an elite (and disassociated) aristocracy, one which (Common Core) will be differently educated, in some degree will even speak a different language, and – through totalitarian control of commerce, money and taxes, will have (O.K., they already have) a lifestyle of royal privilege supported by the labors of the masses. Castro, in other words, was indeed the great success the liberals laud him to have been.
Hmmm, now there you go making sense. I appreciate the comments of a person that has thought things through. It looks like you don’t need the “comfort props” and kleenex.
We are about to see the prosperity that comes when a country turns from socialism to capitalism and freedom. Every place that has embraced socialism or communism has become a place of failure and despair. The Democrats should consider moving to one of the countries where socialism and government control abounds. I hear Cuba is nice at this time of the year.
There is a saying, “You can lead a horse to water; but you can’t make him drink.” Now apply that to the Democrap party. You can show them all the proof in the world that their ideology is full of holes but they won’t believe it because to do so would be to admit they were WRONG!!! & it will be a cold day in hell before they’ll ever do that. Just saying.
CJ:
Be sure & not forget the ‘died in the wool’ Democrats. I have friends who had parents or relatives who were Democrats & they feel that they are in the party b/c everyone around them while they were growing up were Democrats. I have voted according to what I know about the person that was running for an office. I’m a registered Republican, but I do my best to check out all those that are running for office & I have voted for Democrats on occasions; since I have felt that they would do a better job than their Republican opponent.
It would appear as though people are not using their heads nowadays. They can be called dumbed down & in many cases they are. However, we only have our government to account for this. We owe it to ourselves to make the right decision when it comes to voting for these people. IMHO, the last 8 yrs have been a total disaster b/c people were not thinking straight. Now is the time for us to start thinking straight & not spending our time pointing fingers. We need to get back to the way that we have been prior to his ‘interruption’.
Finally America has voted with their feet instead of their mouths. We owe it to our country to continue on with this way of thinking.
I was in San Francisco in September – they forgot to mention people passed out on the sidewalks and others just stepping over or around them and going about their business like it’s normal, nobody seems to care. There is also garbage strewn everywhere, you can build a car from all the parts pushed to the side of the road along the highways.
San Francisco used to be a beautiful city, I was born and raised there, when people still had values, common decency and respect, that all ended in the late 1980’s and has gone downhill fast thanks to liberal agenda’s. San Francisco is a perfect example of a city gone from a jewel in the bay to an eyesore of liberalism.
Their reading abilities are matched only by their choice in leadership and candidates – worthless.
Democrats have demented brains. They always have had and they always will.
What happen to all the people said they were leaving if Trump won well they are still here because they now know America is a great place not Brazil but America I wish these people will wake up from dream lead to see facts starring them in a the face
Liberal policy? These people at the top are not liberals, they use liberals and the fact that liberals run on emotion and not facts is how they get them to do their bidding. Bernie Sanders isn’t a liberal, if he was, then he would be spreading his wealth and living among his fellow liberals. The elitist run these liberals and the liberals are too consumed with their emotions to figure out they are being played. I agree liberals don’t care about facts if they differ from their liberal emotions. It is the same thing we witnessed with the liberal media, they concocted stories to push their venue of voting for Hillary while portraying Trump as Evil to the core. Facts never played a part in the liberal media narrative.
They only value Power and Crime
