Single mothers left alone because of the loss of respect for fidelity and marriage.
Communities being destroyed by the casual acceptance of drugs.
Teen pregnancies because of the increasing sexualization of childhood (eg teen pop icons promoting overt sexuality).
Why don't bleeding heart liberals get it - it's the poor who suffer most from the socially liberal society?
Why don't you grasp how a valid question has to look? Is it
because you suffer most from neocon sabotage of education?
Reply:This coming from a 'compassionate conservative'??? Can't any of you conservatives ask a civil question without calling names? Bleeding heart liberals - as compared to a shone hearted conservative. Ebenezer said it best for you - are there no prisons?
Single mothers left alone - because when the father tried to stay with them, the compassionate conservatives cut off her food stamps, child care and health care. Don't tell me it doesn't happen, I have seen it first hand. So after a generation or two of forcing the fathers to stay away from the family, you are surprised and shocked that it has become a way of life?
Communities being destroyed by the casual acceptance of drugs? Would this be the white affluent suburbs that have high prices lawyers to make the problem go away when little Johny or Janie gets busted on cocaine; or the poor underprivileged inner city slums where Jefferson or Shantile go to prison and are thrown away like yesterdays trash because the can't afford a lawyer?
Teen pregnancies because of increasing sexualization. Well I have to give you that one - I guess even a conservative can get one right once in a while.

Reply:I have news for you...all the above happen no matter what. The conservative vision of the "all American family" has never existed. Parents break up, and children make poor choices. It doesn't matter what flavor of politics rules the world.
Reply:Right..in socally conservative countries like Saudi Arabia, Mexico and Brazil none of that happens. We all know that these 'conservatives' countries don't have underground drug gangs and hookers and child porn and slavery. Who wouldn't want to live in Bolivia where the poor are happy to be screwed over, disrespected, robbed, killed and denied any kind of social services. We should be more like them..third world hellholes.... but 'conservative' third world hellholes as God intended!
Reply:It must be nice to have all the answers. Maybe you should appoint yourself as king.
I hope you don't get a serious illness and lose your job and insurance. Then you will want some bleed heart liberals to come up with a plan to help you.
Reply:single mothers are a product of the modern nuclear family, with grandparents on permanent vacation in florida and a lack of values instilled in the population, such as honesty, and helping others selflessly....
drugs are a FREEDOM and allow the casual user to grow in consciousness thus understanding things that the average person doesnt. Notice the hippies and their support of love unity etc..... The downside of alcohol and drugs is addiction but it is a freedom to screw your own life up.....
teen pregnancy is caused by the repression of sex and its taboo.... The children having sex is an expression of their parents who followed the guidelines for a loveless sex-less marriage.... parents who are open and honest about their sexuality have children smart enough to protect themsleves
these are all conceptual ideas that you are not capable of understanding until you have a loving parent rolemodel to reteach you true values or get high a few times and rethink your life.....
the truth shall set you free my friend,,,,

Reply:Because to them its not their fault its the governments fault for not doing something about it. Typical immature response to a problem is to blame something else rather than take responsibility and try and fix it.
Reply:Because America is founded on the basis of freedom and being able to live your life as you choose. We choose to be a bunch of pill-popping, randy f***ers. Which is more important? Freedom or artificially enforced morality?
Reply:Giuliani and Thomson, are these the Republican ideal? What about their broken homes and abandoned children? What about Larry Craig's or Ted Haggard's morals?
Reply:This is being twisted every which way, but the fact is that the conservative agenda is about responsibility and tradition.
The Liberal agenda, adopted by most Democrats, promotes values that are irresponsible. For example, having an abortion is irresponsible, it is a situation that could have been avoided.
When the 'CHOICE' was made to do the act and pregnancy followed, the right thing to do is have the baby. But that requires work and commitment, which is NOT in the liberal agenda. Instead a more calloused decision is the easier choice. The further left that we drift the more NORMAL these lifestyle choices seem.
Reply:Meanwhile, all you conservatives are molesting underage page boys and tapping your toes looking for sex in public toilets.
Hypocrisy, thy name is conservatism!
Reply:Single mothers left alone because of abject poverty.
Communities being destroyed by unwarranted war.
Teen pregnancies because of prudish policies re birth control.
See, it works both ways...
Reply:No, they don't. And all the lies of the right-wing don't change the fact that it is the neoconserative inhumanity and greed taht are at the root of the suffering of pooor people.
The right can whine all they want--no one is liistening to their pathetic excuses for their selfish attitudes.
BTW: here's one example of neoconservative hypocrisy: most "single mothers on welfare" are WHITE--and from neocon families where the husband divorced them (that, BTW, is the social group in the US with the highest divorce rate).
Far more drugs are used by "middle-class" WHITE Americans than any other group.
Teen pregnancy rates are falling--and falling faster among the poor than the middle class. ANd--just to make the point again--statistically, middle class white girls have MORE sexual partners thanblacks.
Reply:Yah cause death is much easier than poverty.
Drugs are chemicals - how are people suppose to feel and think?
What is correct? Is that universal.
Drugs have been part of society since before the dawn of society.
What is wrong with teenage pregancy people were getting married at 13 years old or younger in the past.
You are being universally biased.
In general though I do think that healthy and sustaining practice is good, but that does not necisarily erase teen pregancy and drug use from the equation. It just means that individuals need to be responsible and have a sense of assurance with their choices.
If a teenage girl would like to have sex or have a baby what is wrong with that?
If someone chooses to trip out on drugs, what is wrong with that?
What is your ideal world? It may not be someone elses.
I think you must have a background to think the way you think. but a liberal society doesn't equate one that supports poverty, it simply means one that lets individuals make their own decisions.
A right wing society that supports drugs like coffee, tea or alcohol, or tabacco could have a variety of issues such as cancer, liver disease or lung and other general health issues.
Or a conservative society that feels girls should be barefoot and pregnant as soon as they are able to bear children like 100 or 200 years ago.. dude you are out of touch
liberal society does not equate = absentism and irresponsibility. It equates choice over dictorial controls that rest in a third party pulling the switches on peoples lives..

Was Eisenhower a bleeding heart liberal?
In this spring of 1953 the free world weighs one question above all others: the chance for a just peace for all peoples.
To weigh this chance is to summon instantly to mind another recent moment of great decision. It came with that yet more hopeful spring of 1945, bright with the promise of victory and of freedom. The hope of all just men in that moment too was a just and lasting peace.
The 8 years that have passed have seen that hope waver, grow dim, and almost die. And the shadow of fear again has darkly lengthened across the world.
Today the hope of free men remains stubborn and brave, but it is sternly disciplined by experience. It shuns not only all crude counsel of despair but also the self-deceit of easy illusion. It weighs the chance for peace with sure, clear knowledge of what happened to the vain hope of 1945.
In that spring of victory the soldiers of the Western Allies met the soldiers of Russia in the center of Europe. They were triumphant comrades in arms.
Was Eisenhower a bleeding heart liberal?
I hated his unprecedented property grab for the interstates.
Reply:actually sir, Ike wanted peace..but peace thru strength, not appeasement. THAT is what the Dims want, appeasement
Reply:Eisenhower saw a lot of people die and he didn't want it to happen again.
Reply:What liberal arts college did you get your question from ?, he did some good things and some poor things, but liberal bleeding heart ? I highly doubt it. Someone complained about his getting the national highways going, well I would wager the same post, would be yelling his head off if we didn't have them, maybe he just didn't have the land that was bought up. He also {Ike} complained about the industrial-military complex and if it weren't there, well where would we be now ? ? ?
Reply:To answer your question, the answer is 'NO'. As for the rest it's little more than poetic gibberish. Good gibberish though I must say!
Reply:A bleeding heart liberal REPUBLICAN?...might as well tell me Unicorns exist.
Reply:He wanted peace and no nuclear weapons. He was a moderate Republican.
Reply:No. Odd why people copy someone else's words but don't put them in quotes or give the author credit.
Reply:my how you go on and on and say nothing. What a talent!
Regarding 1945, I was there, Patton was right we had the chance to destroy Russia and old socialist F.D.R. and Dwight said no, and we paid the consequences.

What is a 'bleeding heart liberal' ?
Here in the UK we do not understand this American term. Please explain.
What is a 'bleeding heart liberal' ?
Liberals are politically left-wing, as in more socialist than capitalist. Labor is ostensibly left-wing, though Blair's New Labor is more middle of the road.
One common belief in socialism is to care about the health and wellbeing of other people around you, which is why left-wing, or liberal, governments tend to pour more taxes into social services, like schools and hospitals. The right-wing, or conservative (republicans in the US) tend to instead cut public spending but offer individuals tax breaks.
Bleeding heart means to care "too much" about others, and to want to solve all the world's ills, while perhaps not being completely realistic about the way the world works. Thus a bleeding heart liberal, or bleeding heart leftie, is basically an insult that the conservative side of politics aim at the left-wing to say the left-wing care more for unrealistic ideals of, for example, ending world suffering than the day-to-day reality of living in today's world.
Reply:Not the official meaning. Just my take of it. They are for the underdog. Even tho the same is a curr,and mutt that will turn on you in a moment and rend you. History has proved this out. Since God did not create people, and pronounce what he did about their disobeying and becoming sinful, The liberal believes everyone is good when born. and something in life changes them. They are not sinful, just sick. Even leaving God out their theory does not hold water.
Reply:If you look in the dictionary under "Bleeding Heart Liberal" you will see my picture. ;-)
Seriously, they consider it an insult liberals. Its a sarcastic way to say that we care too much, with implications of phoniness. It amazes me that caring for people who are in bad circumstances is considered a negative.
Reply:Its an insulting term used by conservatives to describe liberals. An example would be a person who does not believe prisoners should be tortured. A conservative would say that a prisoner deserves everything that happens to him. A liberal would say that there are standards of decent treatment of all human beings including prisoners that need to be observed. And then the conservative would insult the liberal, saying he was a bleeding heart liberal and soft on crime for believing that prisoners should not be treated in America as they were in Nazi Germany or Stalinist Russia. But that is only one example. A conservative would say that tax cuts for billionaires are more important tnan adequately funding veterans hospitals, so it is fine if wounded soldiers lie in their own excrement and recieve no treatment in veterans hospitals. A liberal would say, no, if you have to pay taxes to treat the wounds of soldiers properly, you pay them because human decency to your own troops requires it. And then the conservative would say that the liberal is a bleeding heart liberal, a tax and spend liberal, and against the troops and in favor of terrorism. This is what we hear on about 4/5 of our so called news media every day here. And you wonder how the American public elected Mr. Bush. Oh wait, that was the supreme ct.
Reply:"Bleeding heart liberals" so-called are left wing Democrats who ostensibly want to give everything but the kitchen sink to the poor people and tax the rest to pay for it, I guess that's about it in a nutshell.
Reply:Pretty much what a Christian oughta be.

New perennial bleeding heart came back huge, can I split it? It's gorgeous. Looks like a shrub!?
We have to move it anyway as it's in full sun (my mistake!) so if I can split it thats when i'll do it.
New perennial bleeding heart came back huge, can I split it? It's gorgeous. Looks like a shrub!?
Yes, you can divide bleeding hearts.
Bleeding hearts are usually divided in the fall or early spring.
Since your plants are already blooming, wait until it finishes blooming to separate it.
http://www.ext.nodak.edu/extnews/hortisc...
In the north, most wait until early autumn to separate their bleeding hearts, but since your plant is in the wrong location, go ahead %26amp; transplant it after it finishes blooming. "In most regions of the northern hemisphere, September usually provides ideal weather conditions."
