Poor impulse control is a sign of mental illness, especially when accompanied by optimism. It's a good way to spend your country into bankruptcy, or move troops to the opposite side of the planet in a venture that Napoleon wouldn't have tried. I don't know how this country produced a whole generation of conservatives like this.
All you have to do is find people who are scared to think for themselves, scared of science, scared of truth and willing to be a mouth piece and a puppet.
Zinaval do you ever go back and read your own posts ..You sure can't take it but yet you expect to dish it out unanswered??? Were you on one of those everyone always win teams in school?? I wasn't trying to insult..Only stating the obvious.
True that I could get pessimistic. Politically, though, pessimism is a quality of people who feel they have no power. Liberals have been out of power, and their very name was dragged through the mud and used as an insult. Don't you think that makes for pessimism?
Republicans were very optimistic after they won the '94 election. They aren't too optimistic right now, and they don't sound that way.
The democrats who control Congress right now and who controlled it before are centrists. They're point of view on say, health care, is to require employers to give employees health care. That's centrist-- and it's a terrible idea.
So, you could depend on the fact that liberals are going to be pessimistic about health care if Clinton or Obama get in with their "plans." For the record, this liberal disowns them. What they do in office over health care is not what liberals have in mind. They will saddle us with a broken health care system.
I get pessimistic for other reasons, not for politics. And those reasons are changing.
I am optimistic just because I wake up in the morning..Optimism is something I carry with me no matter what..Politics has NOTHING to do with my optimism .. Even if the Dems had all the power and passed the laws to dictate their will on the people I would still be a Optimist.. I do agree with some points on the left but I could never join their group..I just wouldn't fit in and I cringe at whiners in public ..
"One should neither be optimistic nor pessimistic except in a situational response".
Not my style to be a pessimist in any situation..If it comes down to Huckabee and Hillary it "might" be a challenge to be optimistic.. I have had situations in my life where if I was not optimistic I might be dead now .I am sticking with positive thinking..
If McGiver was a pessimist he would still be stuck in that room..
Like stating the obvious that conservatives (and Republicans) are bigots, greedy, short-sighted and, as we have discovered so frequently in the current administration, incredibly corrupt and hypocritical.
