Calvin Mackenzie and Robert Weisbrot really use persuasive techniques to convince the readers about the significance the 1960’s had on America. They made a widely argued time period in history into a compelling story about not just liberals but conservatives as well. The authors educate the readers about the little known politicians, bureaucrats, and scholars that many readers know nothing about. The Liberal Hour was short, lasting throughout the last bit of President Kennedy’s Presidency onto…
exposing the flaws of the American healthcare system, there are issues which lie in Moore’s criticism. Including the filmmakers “liberal-conservative” bias, the repetitiveness of certain points, and the portrayal of extremities. The analysis of the American healthcare system portrayed in this film is deemed invalid, due to the fact that Moore is a left-wing democrat, which holds a heavy bias towards socialistic views and universal healthcare, which invalidates his argument, criticizing…
applied to the political world by looking at breakdowns of sex, race, background, and party affiliation and how these different demographics play a role in politics. Personally, I consider myself to be a left-winged Democrat, otherwise known as the term, “liberal.” Liberal democrats believe in governmental action that pushes for the equality of people…
outlook on the world. It is our most closely held set of values and feelings, it acts as the filter through which we see everything and everyone. When it comes to examining my own ideology, I have come to realize that I am a pure liberal democrat. A liberal democrat is someone who believes society should be operated on an open, fair, and free system. They seek to balance the fundamental values of liberty, equality and community in which no one will/should be enslaved by poverty, ignorance or…
recount on hand. The actual scenario at the time must have left the Democrats between a rock and a hard place. the reason I say this is because the Republican candidates brother was governor of Florida. The whole states courts and officials were conservative which meant taking them to court wouldn't necessarily work. The reason I say the film was pushed more to the liberal side was because of the way they portrayed the conservatives in the film.…
Political parties are common view of shady backroom dealing.

The little known candidate is former Virginia Senator Jim Webb; a decorated combat vet who probably scared the democrat viewers when he said his biggest enemy was a guy he killed who made the mistake of throwing a grenade at him in Vietnam. Receiving hardly any applause for his answers, liberals consider Webb an enemy due to the fact he can appeal to Republicans and is the most conservative out of all of them. I mean how dare he be pro-Keystone and have an A rating from the NRA?…
labels for groups of people who share similar political views. Some popular political ideologies are republican, democrat, liberal, conservative, socialist, and libertarian. These different political ideologies vary from very pro-government to very anti-government. Today most political ideologies are understood by their stereotypes. For example, the common stereotype for conservatives is a white male, and the common stereotype for liberals would be a female minority. These stereotypes are not at…
When political scientists look at voting behavior and political beliefs, they often turn to people’s upbringings. When looking at this, one area often studies is the environment where people grew up. This means the city and state of a person’s upbringing. While many say that the most effective way to influence political beliefs is through those closest to a person, the geography of where they grew up cannot be ignored. States in America vote for presidents, not people directly and this provides…
separated themselves economically, politically, and geographically. Conservatives are living around other conservatives, and the liberals are living around other liberals. We do this because Americans like the mirror image. If you are going to buy a house, you look at the area and the people before you decide to buy it. If you are a republican you look for clues that might tell you it is a republican area, and if you are a democrat you look for things that tell you it is a democratic area.…
