27. Sure, many things
I don't agree with the Obama loyalists who think if you disagree with anything he does then you must be a traitor or not a good Democrat. I don't agree with the Obama super-fan club members that whatever he does must be the right decision and shouldn't be questioned. Its amazing how many of them fall in line and back up any decision he makes 100% as if its always the correct and right thing to do.

I don't agree with other general things like a previous reply mentioned, that people who are republicans are all scum, because some of my best friends happen to be republicans, and I know differently. It is very simple minded to think all republicans must be dumb or bad people. I don't agree that its a good thing to do to have a bully mindset and try and think that I have all the answers when it comes to spirituality and religion, its the height of arrogance and ignorance in my opinion to think you know all the answers.

I don't agree that principle is something to be thrown away in favor of being pragmatic based on voting, if someone thinks voting for their principles is paramount, then good for them, I have no problem with it. I don't agree that we as liberals always have to settle for the lesser evil, because that attitude will always lead to crumbs. Only by thinking big and boldly will anything really change in our current politics. I say this regarding things such as if someone says "National Health care like Canada or England system? Impossible in America! You better settle for the Obama compromise, best we can do" No, its not impossible, only that you think its impossible. Its very possible, just will take some time and work to get the population to accept it and want it. A real visionary leader could get it done.
