		<description>Nice comments Max,

Obviously you are a Democrat who is tortured emotionally over the fact that your Democratic Party possesses liberal core beliefs that paint you in a bad light.  Of course no party member agrees 100% with every party stance on certain issues.   I certainly don’t agree with everything the Republican Party does.  That is why you find an occasional conservative democrat like some of the Blue Dogs that are concerned about the federal government’s addiction to spending.

Yet, both statements that you call into question are true for more than 50% of the democrat party whether you want to admit it or not.  That is what gives me the right to state them.  You may disagree with the percentages.  However, if you look at the actions of your beloved democrat leadership you will see that I have every reason for making these claims.  

Democrats won’t make these statements publicly because it is not good politics; but, their actions speak louder than words.  Maybe you ought to question your support for the democrat party.  Have you read my post about where I state “I have friends who think they are Democrats who are actually Republicans”?

By the way, families and children are a political issue.  It became an issue in the 90’s when Hillary Clinton wrote her book titled “It takes a village”.  As she is obviously one of the democrat party’s leaders, I feel completely justified in saying that she speaks for at least 51% of the party.  When this book was released there was an uproar about the issue.  Hillary published a book announcing to the world what democrat core beliefs are on the subject.  The title says it all. So sorry Max.  You will have to live with that so long as Hillary remains a spokesperson for your party.  This is now forever recorded in history.  

As far as labor unions go, would you feel better if I dropped the word greedy?  Would that make you feel better?  It is nonetheless true.  Look at the current policy of the Obama administration.  They want to reduce the salaries of top executives in corporate America.  The TARP recipients are first.  The next step for the democrats is going to be to use the financial crisis as an excuse to find a way to cap other executive salaries.  They are already talking about it publicly.

That is yet one more perfect example that justifies my statement that democrats believe that CEO’s are greedy and that they are exploiting everyone for their own gain.  In democrats’ eyes, they make too much money.  Remember when the Obama democrats were going to punish oil companies for making too much money?  They want to punish drug companies for making too much money.  They want to punish health care workers for making too much money.  Oh yes they do Max.  Watch and see.

As you grow older you will become more conservative.  Then you will begin to realize that what I have said on this post as well as the bulk of this site is absolutely true.  Open your eyes mate.  Open your eyes.  Stop torturing yourself with this misguided allegiance to the Democratic Party.  Your intuition is telling you that deep down inside you are not a Democrat.  Stop supporting the madness.</description>

		<description>While some of these claims may hold a fair amount of validity in a very, very general way, the blatant logical fallacies that riddle the paragraphs above only serve to extirpate that validity immediately. Now, it would be disingenuous for me to make such a statement without the provision of supporting evidence but, at the same time it would be a waste of effort to enumerate each respective fallacy one after the other. Therefore, while I will not pick apart the entire blog,  I will give a few examples:

-On a whole, the entire blog contains hasty generalizations. Many statements in this blog about democratic beliefs reduce a whole political party to one or two sentence claims that are unfounded. While some democrats may hold some of the beliefs listed above, ALL democrats do not think in the ways listed above. 

-On Labor Unions: By stating that &quot;Democrats believe that all corporations are run by greedy businessmen whose only goal is to exploit the workforce wherever possible.&quot; you manage to come to the conclusion that this is why democrats believe unions should be supported. This is clearly an example of oversimplification. The reasons behind democratic union support are far more complex than just fighting against &quot;greedy businessmen&quot; and many democrats see the inherent need for big business.

-On Children: The claims about democrats and their beliefs about children are COMPLETELY unfounded and the claims carry the non sequitur logical fallacy with regard to the entire blog. Since when are &quot;children&quot; a political policy or political issue that is discussed by democrats or republicans? This is unrelated to the rest of the blog and really has no substance or factual background. 

Again, these are just a few of the logical fallacies to be found in this blog and I hope that people who turn to this website for political guidance are thinking CRITICALLY before coming to any conclusions about party politics.</description>
