the REAL reason the dems keep losing...
Advertisements [?]
now this is merely one man's opinion but I feel the primary problem with the democratic party is the pushing of what I call the 'PC UTOPIAN' agenda. Political correctness is a nice utopian idea but utopia has no basis in reality. For example, it is not 'PC' to tell an obese patient to exercise more and eat less and in fact there is currently a case where a physician is being sued for doing that. Now the REALITY is that there is a widespread obesity epidemic in this country and obesity is a major HEALTH problem that increases one's risk of diabetes, coronary artery disease, cancer, stroke, chronic hip/leg pain, depression, etc. So though it may hurt someone's ego it is the physicians job to tell the patient what they can do to help themselves get better. There are many other examples I could give. The point is sure utopian ideals are nice to strive for but reality is harsh and many many times directly conflicts with the utopian agenda. end of rant
