Are people who are raised in a more religious environment absent of a solid liberal foundation more likely to be manipulated by big rich Republican's agendas?

The reason is the abortion issue. I am a Baptist and probably one of the few that would admit to being a Democrat (I'm more moderate). I don't believe in abortion but side with the dems on other issues such as social (welfare) and environmental issues as well as public education.

Yes! They buy into everything. By anybody willing to wrap them around their finger. The Fuller Brush man has a ball with them. They are naive, crass and usually small minded. No "worldly" experience. I have a complete family of cousins and uncles who can't get out of the box they were put in. Do I manipulate them? Everybody does. It's sad, really. Most of them had their religion taught to them. They didn't find the path on their own. Really sad. Some even believe they can limit the immaculate concept of God to just a Big Man in the sky. Some, are so wrecked they keep their saviour, tied around their neck, still nailed to the cross that killed Him. They don't even follow their own resurection thoughts.

No! I have a mind of my own. And what I decide to do with it is my choice! Not everyone agrees with some of the things that the Republican branch is doing..

I bloody-well hope you stand up for your beliefs and stand up against these so-called republicans who are ruining our party. I haven't met too many yanks who will....really stand up against their own hipocrisy.

I only stand up for what is right. It has nothing to do with whether I am republican or Democratic. Right is right! and Wrong is wrong! That's the problem with this world today. Too many people allow things to control them instead of them controlling the thing..

Great! Then you'll stand-up against the 2 $Trillion dollar bill from Bush borrowing money for 2 false wars from our ARCH ENEMY THE COMMUNIST CHINESE! That's just wrong. And, you'll stand up against the outsourcing of our American companies to COMMUNIST RED CHINA by Romney and the rest of those theives! That's just wrong and unpatriotic. Plus, much,much more.We must get our true, republican party back! You will stand-up against CITIZENS UNITED too, I trust? That's just WRONG! I like your thinking of what's wrong and what's right.
I don't know what this has to do with the problems we face with people who are religiously indoctrinated, so I trust you've read most of the current "Bibles"( at least 8 out of a total of 13....some say 50) that claim to be the TRUTH? Right?

I only read one bible. It's the king james Version. Alot of things the some of these so-called christians are doing I don't agree with. Like stopping birth control, that is a personal matter between 2 consenting adults! Forcing the middle-class to carry the weight of the rich. It's all just alot of stereo-typing! And it just ain't right!!..

I agree. We, the people, are letting the ogliarchs(sp) steal money from us then tell us they earned it and what they are going to do to us if we don't comply with what the SuperPacks are pushing down our throats. Doesn't that seem queer to you? I don't know if the Yankees will really stand up like they say they do. It's odd to watch these friggen peasents hereald their rich theives as if they too will be rich some day. No way. The rich are now trying to beat out the rich and to hell with the 99%. Where's that so-called "American spirit"? I've got it and I'm a Brit(1st generation yank). Yanks talk a lot. Don't they? They sell their country out to their arch enemy the COMMUNIST CHINESE and claim it's good business? That makes one want to throw-up if you understand what they say.
PS You know King James wasn't, necessarily, a good person. He had that book printed for the upperclass who could read. Most couldn't read in those days. Good guy heh?

What the Hick are you talking about! You are talking in riddles!! I don't understand anything you are saying?!..

You were talking about the middle class carrying the weight of the rich. I just elaborated on the fact that the rich are taking advantage of the middle class. And not by hard word, but by taking advantage of them.

Oh! Yeah! It's a darn shame that things are like this..

Yeah, it was never this way before. That's why I'm a big believer that this is a corporate takeover of America. This Citizens United was an illegal enactment since only congress has the ability to write laws and the Supreme Court wrote this. My knowledge is that these are foreign corporations who bought off my republican party and plan on taking the country over since there has been no jobs bill passed by my party. They continually wanted corporate interests to be included in the taxation issues. It's a crying shame. There is only one way out if thats the case. And were primed for that. I think America is worth fighting for. And I, for one, will not let corporate interests buy out this country. I can read the writing on the wall. Hold on. It could be a rougher ride.

If we work together there will be a way out of this thing! We've been down before and was able to get-back up. All things are Possible!..

I'm in agreement with that cliche belief "if we work together", but, there's something ugly brewing in the fact my republicans do not, will not come up with a jobs program and they have failed to do so in the last 3 1/2 years. We talk big, but we don't deliver. I'm not rich and I don't like the rich sucking off the economy, outsourcing jobs( did you know my candidate once bragged he's the "outsourcing expert"?) and since the Bush tax breaks in 2002 to the rich, there have been NO NEW JOBS?
There's a serious obstruction going on in the country. The partisan lines are way to deep. I'm personally getting sick and tired of that drunk, Boehner, talking big but doing nothing for ME. The rich can go to hell for all I care. They have done nothing for America but leech off of it. I believe it's a corporate plan. I am not naive.
John Lennon said it best in his song Working Class Hero"they keep you doped on religion and sex and tv (computers), till you think you're so classless and clever and free. But you're still f**king peasants as far as I can see". The easy way is gone. It's time to get tough.

This has been happening since B. C. People just don't care about no-one but themselves when it comes up to wealth and power! They just want to stay on top so that they can look down on the little people and say; I'm more than you. Like some little kids fighting over a toy that don't belong to any of them!.. Just Ricilous!!

Well, they better wake up. Because they just stole your "toy" your "bicycle" and your sandbox. This is just bullying for the sake of being stupid about what's happening. No chance to sit back on your laurels. This is treason. Just like the wars for no reason. Good luck and God bless you. This is really happening. I can't be childish and naive about it.

Yeah! me niether! Their reign will only last a season and then they will know what it feels-like to be called Little People! The bible says that you reap-what-you-so!..

Well, Karma is in the power of God and the 99% who's small wealth has been stolen. I can't vote for Romney, because I don't like his policies ( if any) and because all of my republican hopefuls called him a "LIAR". That means he's sneaky. The same way with being the first presidential nominee to withhold tax information. And the first to horde money in off shore bank accounts. He helped make COMMUNIST CHINA richer than the United States. That's treason.And we want him to be president?

Apparently some people do! These must be the ones that have Swiss bank accounts in other countries.. Lol!

No, and neither are they likely to be manipulated by big, rich, democrat agendas that are absent a solid conservative foundation.

maybe you can answer this for me as according to the conservatives here i have misunderstood,and i cant seem to find any of americans replys to ask, by a "solid liberal foundation" as mentioned in the question, is it refering to a classical liberal foundation, or modern progressive foundation?

What are you talking about? You got Obummer running all around the World Bowing and scraping and I'm sure making promises to cover all the money he is taking and spending on himself......It does affect Obummers decrees.......Perhaps you should rewrite the question

Insufficient data… the 2 fields presented are vague.

That is a ludicrous question. Religious people have other values than money or power. Their charity comes from the heart rather than a politician's pen.

Republicans like to claim they have a monopoly on God which doesn't make sense because nearly every view (with the exception of Pro-life) is the opposite of Jesus's teachings! Their lack of compassion for the poor, judgmental attitudes, greedy justifications, are all the opposite of Jesus.

most religions teach you to stand up for what you believe in ragrdless on the next mans agenda.

To the contrary, Someone who is raised as a Christian should have more of a conscience, and try and be more like Jesus, not more like the Pharisees.

What is a liberal foundation? A "socialist" is whatever a leftist wants it to be at any point in a given political argument. Socialism is just another flavor of
totalitarian statism, along with fascism, communism, Naziism,
Progressivism and all the other variations of the same preposterous idea
that has plagued humanity for the past 100 years.
That idea is
that society ought to be ordered by a group of elite "planners" who
operate to implement their schemes through densely concentrated
government power. Thus, a socialist is someone who is opposed to the very concept of human liberty.
A socialist is someone who thinks of himself as a "scientific" thinker, yet
refuses to recognize the easily observable fact that during the last
100 years, every variation of statism has failed miserably, bringing
economic collapse, hardship and death to every society that has tried
it. Even the impending collapse of Europe, and the economic peril
facing the United States, is not sufficient to inspire a glimmer of
self-doubt, a smidgen of question, in the mind of a socialist regarding
the viability of statism.
A socialist is someone who imagines
that there exists a big bottomless pot of money that belongs to nobody
in particular, and that the highest manifestation of statesmanship is
just to hand it out.
A socialist is someone who opposes human slavery only to the extent that the slaves are privately owned.

You're a communist.

Religions have the spirit of division. They seek their own. Test them with a sexuality name. Do they act nonplussed or do they try to make God out to be a warmongering selfrightious warrior looking for blood. Have them act like that, and they will not be like Jesus is. The tendency for religions is to act in that way. They also think hell is a place too. Hell is the face of God to evil. The irony is religions have the truth but a different spirit is there keeping it hidden in many ways with a few words sprinkled on top to give the appearance of holiness.The liberals are in a tolerant environment, oppressed by the negativity of others. The rich tend to be that way. That is one reason why Jesus said it was hard for a rich man to get into the kingdom of God.

It sure seems like, don't it.

I really wanted to choose "It depends."

Yes. Organized religion is nothing more than a instrument used for social control.

Not at all, but with the exception of the issue of abortion.

yes

So you like communism do ya ? LOL
