Conservatives = Constitution.     Liberals = Mental Illness.

Funny. However, Liberal open to new ideas.  Not all necessarily crazy :-) 

We see what we want to see and believe what we want to believe if you get news from msnbc and I get my news from Fox we will surely have different opinions of what the facts actually are.

Btw, I can't answer the question in the thread title.  I'm conservative, but I wouldn't want to be lumped in with others that carry that label.  Just as I wouldn't lump you Fee, with others I consider liberal.  I'll break it down by parties.  There was a time when Republicans were conservatives, and Democrats were liberal, but imo, things have changed.

Now, you have Conservatives, RINOs, Liberals, and socialist.  What many don't realize, Trump, who is not a politician, and not a long time Repub, wins the nomination.  Sanders, who if not for some unscrupulous actions of the DNC, could have won the Dem nomination, and he's not even a Dem, he's an Independent.  What does that tell us about Americans attitude toward "politics as usual"?  I think it screams we are all searching for answers, but our two parties aren't listening.

That's for sure, I'm liberal on most issues, but not all, I think we are all probably a little of both. I think that is probably a good thing,

I watched everyone I could find, I have policemen friends and don't want to believe that a cop would kill someone just for the hell of it, but in this case, I thnk part of the problem is that he was afraid the other cop didn't feel threatened.

Maybe you should watch this again.

So when you find out that everything the officer did was lawful, now the narrative is, police shouldn’t write citations. 

Got it. 

Oh yeah, the officer was trying to solve a real crime and a violent one at that. 

We are at loggerheads on this one, I think he should have been found guilty and you evidently don't, so we may as well drop it. It's just a difference of opinions anyway, what done is done.

Millennials, they haven't lived long enough to know anything yet! It's not the White privilege it's the privilege of being born at a time when most of the hardships of living are absent and everything they see is easy come easy go. I like to curse, but I know better on this site. so I'll stop now.

Now that is funny

The same campus disinvited Bill Maher, and he is certainly not a conservative.

The dictionary I just consulted says:  a person who aadvocate or practices socialism.  synonyms- left wing, leftist, anti-corporate, antiglobalization

 

Now that we have the dictionary version established, your point is?

My point is what comes to your mind before you consulted the dictionary? 

Where did you get this white privilege crap from, in this country, it's the 1% against the rest of us? Stop trying to make this into a race issue, it's about conservatives and liberals, there are plenty of black conservatives, God knows I can't explain it!

A jury of his peers, let me google the jury and I might have more to say on that subject.

Okay, I googled it, his peers were 2 blacks out of 12 on the jury, hardly had a chance of a conviction.

The problem is, many on the Ultra Left do want to change our system of Govt.  Hodgkinson, who worked on Bernie's campaign, had put on Facebook, "Democratic Socialism explained in 3 words, We the People".  Bernie Sanders is not a democrat, he's a Socialist, and if not for the questionable antics of the DNC, might have won the nomination.  I pray that liberals, like yourself, might realize what the Democratic Party is morphing into, and somehow change the direction.  I don't agree with democrats, but I can't stand socialist.  

You know I have a lot of respect for your opinions, so I ask you, what do you think of when you think of a socialist?  Conservatives use that word a lot? It may mean two different things to us, I know what the dictionary say.

I've witnessed your analytical skills, so I take no offense to your condescending attitude. And your posts are revealing your unsubstantiated hate towards people that don't tow the wing-nut Liberal/Socialist agenda.

That's plain nuts, I love people, like to pull their strings but I don't hate anyone.

Like Fee Dee, I am not a bad person. I believe in God, family, country, free enterprise, self protection (guns). This is the greatest country in the world, even with all our problems, and it got that way with capitalism. Anyone wanting to change that to socialism/communism is totally against me. Too many people have died fighting communism so that I may enjoy the free lifestyle of being an American.That's as simple as I can put that. Like Nash said, the compassionate left is a smoke screen. Check out Berkley. Your picture is backwards.

I believe in country, guns (for protection) and yes we have a great country even with the problems, don't want to change our system of government. just want to fix what's broken, rather than fight each other maybe we could identify what needs fixing and agree on a fix. But in order to do that, we must hear each other and stop trying to one-up each other.

A robbery happens a day or two earlier. Officers are given a general description. Part of that description includes a female accomplice and color of vehicle. 

Officer spots a similar colored vehicle and a man that generally fits the description and he has a woman with him. It is called a hunch. It gives no lawful authority for a detention. BUT.... brake lights out give not only reasonable suspicion but probable cause. even if the officer is using the traffic violation to check out something else.  (Whren v. US- US Supreme Court) 

Since the officer doesn’t know if this is really the suspect and may be innocent citizen, he doesn’t approach with gun drawn in felony traffic stop mode. He strikes up almost casual coversation with driver and in all likelihood just wants name. Why? Photo lineup. Several photos are shown to clerk in the robbery with driver being one of them. It is routine police work. 

Driver says I have a firearm on me. Officer says don’t pull it out and if you listen closely, it sounds like the driver says I have to pull it out. Officer’s statements were, “Don’t reach it though.. don’t pull it out! Don’t pull it out!!”  

Officers flinches to the rear as he draws and opens fire. 

We will never know why the driver reached for the gun and sounds like he said I have to pull it out. 

 

. I think the cop was afraid and shot because he was afraid. I think the victim may have miss understood and I could buy that, I just can buy shooting him 7 times!

Mail him a ticket, policemen shouldn't be stopping people because a bulb is burned out in his tail light. Go solve a real crime!

Let me ask you a pretty elementary question.  If the individual who was stopped fit a particular description, why would you have a problem with someone who does not fit the description not being stopped?

That was too vague!  It's just an excuse.

I watched this video over and over and over, what I see is a murder! You see it your way, but that is what I see and believe!

I think you are okay, kind of nutty but okay!  If you knew me, I doubt that you would think I'm hateful.

Stop being petty, I'm simply stating my opinion, I don't need to explain, If you can NOT see his unusual behavior, then there is nothing that I can say that help you understand what I'm talking about.

I think you know me well enough, that one political views don't bother me at all, I might wonder why someone feels that way or think that way, but that is where it stops. We simply disagree that's it!

I think it's trying to show broad open minded person vs a closed not open to other ideas type of person someone stuck in the past. Just a thought.
