Veiws on the Democratic Party


While this is the party I usually associate myself with, there are positives as well as negatives, just as there are with any system.

A few factors of the Democratic party are; some of the liberal views in regards to institutions and government, the total lack of an organized front and the fiscal looseness. I have found that I believe that people, as a species, need a system or institution, to function smoothly in a highly dense and high pressure situations. The believe has translated to the idea that we need more institutions and bigger government, merely to give that support and nudge people down a more healthy path. While I do not agree that people are inherently bad, we do not always make the best decisions in regards to the future or others. (Might I direct your attention to things like Global warming, McDonald, and Cooperation) Democrats also have a reputation for being fiscally irresponsible, and while that is all bad, I seem to remember that it was the under a Republican administration that we went to two wars and decreased taxes. But, was it not under Clinton that are deficit was reduced? And now Obama trying to pull us out of an economic recession?

In regards to this party, I find more positives than negatives. This party tends to have a pro environment lean, a tendency to look forward and try to evolve, and many social ideas and freedoms that conservatives don't have, such as gay marriage and women's choice. I strongly believe that the Democratic attempts to increase awareness and develop new technology to preserve our earth is a necessity for the continuation of the human race. This spreading of awareness along with creating new, nontraditional solutions to problems especially when it comes to working to save our earth, is of huge importance. The issues of equality for all, things like gay marriage and stopping discrimination is also part of social evolution and is moving int he right direction. This kind of evolution is a key part to the adaption and continuation of humans as a species.

Under a President of this party this country has started to pull out of an economic recession, create more jobs and has strengthened its foregone relations. Obama has tried to takle this recession by making millions of new jobs instead of throwing money at huge corporations and waiting for it to trickle down. Our economy is staring to look up again, and he was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize, as encouragement and motivation in his negotiations with other countries.
