it was condescending..and gimme I would have thought you were involved somehow in politics, not in medicine---the former seems to be your forte..
i have a passion for medicine, but i love history and politics. if i were not in my current field i would be a history teacher. hopefully i have a long life ahead of me, and at some point i want to run for office. i am no blueblood so i doubt i will be able to run for anything higher than mayor or alderman of my city or something. what happens after that? who knows?

Doesn't seem that way, not many here agree with my views.
I haven't seen a lot of your views but I can say that if you write a topic that people agree with they tend to not reply as much as those who disagree with it.
If you are on the right, there are plenty of people here who will agree with many of your ideas, however if you aren't respectful of other people they will tend to come after you hard...I found early on that the more respectful you are the more you will get here, just like any other walk of life...You seem young by your posts and the start of this thread and I would encourage you to realize you don't have all the answers, none of us do, our beliefs are ever evolving and when yours get challenged you can either roll with it, read more and affirm your opinions, or change them now that you have seen another angle...anyway you go with it is completely up to you, but if you are simply looking for affirmation maybe hannity.com is the way to go
Never feel threatened by others' opinions of your views. It's unfortunate that some people have to comment on every thread that gets a rise out of them. No one can be objective to other people's opinions when they take it personally. That's when name calling and the "right/wrong" games start. When someone refuses to acknowledge or understand my perspective, I back off and let them have the "win". It's not worth arguing with someone who doesn't want to know anything other than what they want to know. Kwim?
I do post in the AMT. I do read all the opinions even if they are different my own, before I post. I do ask where they are coming from, if I am not understanding their perspective. If they are just out to prove they are the only ones who are right, I just steer clear, as it doesn't make for a open debate.
How about this: we encourage people to work, punish those who work less, and give people more freedom of choice? What a novel idea!
I'd suggest you first create jobs for people to do. It's pretty difficult to go to work when is there work to do. May also be an idea to creat jobs which have a salary higher than that received by welfare. I.e, raise the minimum wage.
Since there are people from all sides who post here, and it makes me sad to think there are "sides" instead of everyone working together, this thread isn't going to help anything along those lines.
Please remember to express a point of view about a topic of interest and not another person or groups of people. Thank you.

Well put.

So far 17 different people have responded to this thread. 7 of which I am positive would never consider themselves to be "left".

It's 2011 over here. Legalize drugs (right), tax churches (right), allow gay marriage (right), ditch affirmative action (left), cut back on gov't handouts and subsidizing (left).
