This is a web page from a friend. Looking for input.
Before the election I talked with several liberal friends and they were afraid of conservatives trying to eliminate freedoms that were a part of their daily lives. Liberal people spreading fear. We had similar fears generated on the conservative side. The fear of gun control has sent the price of guns and ammo through the roof.
Both sides are given unreasonable fears so we will fight against the "evil" we see on the other side. What if the other side isn't "evil" and isn't trying to take our rights. In my opinion this is the result of the two party system which gives power to the leaders of two parties and they will do anything to keep their powers. Their focus is on enriching themselves and generating more power. These are elected officials and party officials.
It is time for "We the people" to be involved in saving our country.
I welcome your input.
Liberals are trying to take our rights.
AWBII looks to ban most firearms.
The Sheep have spoken, and they are Leftists and want Socialist Pie. Now.
You cannot reason nor talk with them. I gave up trying months ago.
Now that 0bama is president America is “born again”?
People for the American Way...background...here...

We don't have any common issues. We want to win, they want to surrender. We want to be free, they want to be adolecents forever. We want to live, they want to be fed. We love the truth, they do nothing but lie to themselves and everyone else. We want healthy, normal families, they want to murder infants.
Not an inch of common ground. No compromise. No bi-partisan anything.
War, until we win.
Non biased - not with “people for the American way” on the site.
You are right. The majority right now seem to have bought in to the concepts of the left....more freebies, more taxes on productive citizens. In part this is a natural swing to the left. In part it is part of a longterm move to socialist ideas. In part (and this is big) there is NO ONE out there presenting an alternative. Our President has not. Our candidate did not. Palin says it, but was not in a position to do so as a newcomer on the bottom of the ticket. We need new leaders - bold, charismatic, bigger than the media - to present alternatives on energy, health care, economic growth and foreign relations. Right now, we are pretty much on our own. The people will only change if they see a viable alternative.
I never use the words “liberal” and “friends” in the same sentence and I refuse to associate with domestic enemies or useful idiots.
“Both sides are given unreasonable fears so we will fight against the ‘evil’ we see on the other side. What if the other side isn’t ‘evil’ and isn’t trying to take our rights.”
Rest assured, each side is trying to take things from people. That’s what governments do.
In my opinion, partisan arguments across the divide are tedious. Much better to have ideological duels or philosophical debate. Talking about Bush and Obama, on the other hand, bores the heck out of me.
Looks like an obozo website.
What are a few of those “common issues” that they want to work on? I couldn’t find them, so I’m unsure what it is they want to accomplish in the way of bottom-line outcome.
i, for one, won’t do anything to help liberals obtain any measure of success during the next four years.
i will treat them and their fantasy usurper with the same level of ‘respect’ and ‘dignity’ they afforded GWBush for the last 8 years.
in short, screw them.
Nonpartisan? Puleeze. The image on the frontpage is from an Obama rally with Hope and Change signs. A moderately subtle Obot site.

I gave up too. Very frustrating and irritating.
Well said. Thank you.
This site is founded by Norman Lear. Why do you think conservative issues are not well represented?
No thanks!
Then we are doomed to Socialism. Because there IS no alternative. The GOP agrees with the Leftists, and there is no one left to speak up for us.
I have no faith or trust in a people who has broken faith with their nation, their veterans, and their heritage like this. All we can do is slide and watch the appraoching ledge before the plunge into the abyss.
People For The American Way- isn’t that Mr. Lear’s organization? If so then this thing is a portal for far left activism, no matter what the “balance” looks like.
