   Conservatives are concerned with maintaining individual independence through self-reliance for the sake of liberty. They know that laws are needed to maintain liberty. Some laws restrict individual liberty and some promote it. This is the great confusion of mankind:
   trying to figure out which is which!

                  If, the old saying "follow the money" has merit, then I think global banksters / globalists.  Remembering the attacks on independent media and Hillary's "Alt-Right" media attack, it doesn't take a rocket scientist to imagine the Deep State's involvement as well (ie: the bad guys in the NSA, etc.).
                  
                  When some one like Hillary calls something 'fake news', the reaction of millions of people is to go find out what the truth is for themselves.  Things like that have a way of backfiring on her big time.  We can all be grateful she is not the president or the First Amendment rights of independent media would be gone.   Those sites are forever being attacked, if not that its lawfare (trumped up allegations) to try break them. 
                  
                  There is so much cyber warfare going on all the time, I can't keep up with it. Country against country, ideology against ideology....  There is always plenty of room for prayer in a fight between good and evil.

      From my objective observing perspective, yes, "Liberals Are Too Trusting of Human Nature" because they do not know the word man's definition.
      
      Unknown to us [at least by dictionary definition anyway] the prefix "hu" in human and "wo" in woman both means "incomplete" man which has the definition of "mind able to comprehend all things" and synonymous with god. The "hu" is a short form of "hewed" which make human to mean "hewed our of man" while the "wo" is short for "woven" which makes woman to mean "woven from man" that, with man meaning "mind able to comprehend all things," it is saying human and woman are unable to comprehend all things.  From that perspective, unquestionably yes, all human/woman, Conservatives or Liberals, "Are Too Trusting of Human Nature."

   And I'd say that some conservatives are not understanding or empathetic enough when it comes to individual circumstance.
   
   But I'd also say it's a good thing that we have both kinds of people around to balance each other out. I am very cognizant of the fact that I can be a bit emotional and perhaps too trusting, but I also believe that I have rational thoughts driven by empathy and optimism. I expect conservatives to point out when my emotion is overtaking rational thought (which I can admit it sometimes does), likewise I'll always point out when I feel that conservatives are being a bit narrow-minded or dismissive.

   Oh brothre! I got one pop-up
   Go for it
   What an article!
   
   "What really turned around the Russia economy is due to the fact that Russia became the 6th largest holder of gold. And given the fact that Russia, despite spending large sums of money on its military, is quickly becoming the soundest economy on the planet. Unlike the United States where record corporate profits has not trickle down to the masses, Russia has the fastest growing middle class on the planet. Since Putin has come to power, no other nation can match Russia’s growing GDP.
   
   Americans Would Die for Putin’s Reforms
   
   Like all good politicians, Putin has learned to control his image through the creation of RT, something that Trump has considered doing. Yesterday, I postulated that Putin was indeed a Christian. This belief is bolstered by his social and political reforms. Putin have built more than 16,000 Christian churches. The tax system in Russia favors having children and there is no marriage penalty tax as there is in the United States.
   
   Putin has had the Christian backbone to ban LGBT propaganda that demand SPECIAL treatment instead of the same protections under the law as everyone else. In Russia, there are no drag queens reading to school age children in a manner that promotes a perverted life-style. George Soros is banned from setting foot in Russia.
   
   On the terrorist front, Putin’s military is attempting to exterminate the CIA/Clinton created ISIS instead of using them as a political tool.
   
   Putin has moved to protect the health and welfare of his people by banning cancer-causing, Monsanto based GMO’s."

         I have listened to many Putin videos as he talks about his faith, about his Christian mother and the cross she gave him that he carries on him at all times.  I listen to him with my heart or spirit, and I do believe he is a Christian. 
         
         Does that mean Putin hasn't done some bad things that were necessary to take Russia back from the Soviets?  No, but it was for a good cause.  Putin was KGB, once a KGB always a KGB.  But, there are good and bad groups of KGB. The bad KGB guys would like nothing better than to assassinate Putin, so they could get back into power. 
         
         Russian people love Putin because of what he has done for them, life just keeps getting better for them now. 
         
         It witnesses to my spirit that Putin is a Christian.  You can't believe all the propaganda that gets spread about him.  Russia does not have a Rothschild central bank, and the Globalists would like to overthrow Putin and the Russian government and put in a leader that would bow to them, and screw the citizens for all they can. 
         
         Putin is a very honest man, he tells the truth, he works for the good of the people and country, and he will protect them with everything he has. He is a true leader!

I got a kick out of him wiping the floor with Megan Kelly in the interview recently.

                  Pen, I saw our Russian tour guide yanked off the bus and questioned for 20 min. because they were suspicious of us Americans. She was white as a sheet when they finally released her. We were at an outdoor flea market in Moscow. Several of us had found some great stuff that we wanted to buy, but she stopped us and quickly herded us back into the bus. She said there were KGB watching us. We all were carrying rubles, but she said we couldn't risk being accused of using foreign currency. As soon as we boarded the bus, she was yanked off by KGB. She would not let us go back to that market later in the day when we asked her to.
                  
                  I also saw one of our group questioned for a couple of hours for the same reason at our hotel. The only reason he escaped arrest was because he had been giving cigars to the guards at the hotel. For a usually cocky guy, he was pretty shaken up and said if he hadn't been sharing his cigars with the guards the last couple of days, he was sure he would have been arrested.
                  
                  I approached a street artist *with rubles* to buy a painting. He refused to sell it to me. My friend and I left and we were walking through one of the underground tunnels in Moscow that cross under the street. We heard someone running toward us. Being both of us females, it was frightening because we were alone in the tunnel, but it turned out to be the guy running up to me with the painting in his hand. He said, "I couldn't sell it to you because there were KGB watching." I said, "well, I have rubles." He said that he just couldn't take any chances since I was an American.
                  
                  I probably could remember some more stories if you want any more reasons.  Ridiculous, huh!
                  
                  @ Colorfulone, your sister was very lucky. I do have a love for the Russian people and I admire their adherence to their faith. I attended a service at a Russian Orthodox Church while I was there. Gorbachev was allowing the churches to reopen. I wanted so much to go into St. Basil's Cathedral, but it was being restored and had scaffolding all around it. Nobody was allowed in. .I believe that Gorbachev was a Christian because our Russian guide said he was, however, I can't think of Putin as Christian because of his past history.

   "Russia’s return to the Middle East has proved a stunning, sudden success—and a setback to American power and prestige. Up until recently the U.S. had no real diplomatic or military rival in the Middle East. Now, as Trump begins his presidency with promises of wiping out ISIS, there are Russian planes in the air and troops on the ground in Syria; battleships off the coast of Libya; and Moscow’s friends occupy—or are in line to occupy—presidential palaces from Tripoli to Damascus. Any time Trump makes a move in the Middle East, he’ll have to ask himself: What will Putin think of this? No other recent American president had that problem."

   "Flynn is a registered Democrat, ! having grown up in a "very strong Democratic family". However, he was a keynote speaker during the first night of the 2016 Republican National Convention, and he was a surrogate and top national security adviser for President Donald Trump.
   
   During a July 10, 2016, interview on ABC News' This Week, when asked by host Martha Raddatz about the issue of abortion, Flynn stated, "women have to be able to choose." The next day, Flynn said on Fox News that he is a "pro-life Democrat".
   
   Flynn has been a board member of ACT! for America, and sees the Muslim faith as one of the root causes of Islamist terrorism. He has described Islam as a political ideology and a cancer. He once tweeted that "fear of Muslims is RATIONAL" and included a video link claiming that Islam wants "80% of people enslaved or exterminated". Initially supportive of Trump's proposal to ban Muslims from entering the US, Flynn later told Al Jazeera that a blanket ban was unworkable and has called instead for "vetting" of entrants from countries like Syria. Flynn has stated the U.S. "should extradite Fethullah Gülen" to Turkey and "work constructively with Russia" in Syria. In 2016, he said that he had personally seen photos of signs in the Southwest border area that were in Arabic to help Muslims entering the United States illegally. An officer of the National Border Patrol Council responded that he had never seen any signs delineating smuggling routes, let alone any in Arabic."

    Other Questions: What do Democrats want? What ideals do they want their party to represent? Why do they hate Trump so much.

       The answer!
       
       To enrich their pockets while deceiving the pub lic that they are working for them. That is what politics is all about, making deceiving policies to keep the governed subservient to government while they fill their pockets with their taxes. That is one reason there are parties, to deceive the people for self-enrichment.
