And They Say Race Isn't An Issue

If you're looking for a place where the government agrees with your political outlook, then I would recommend Iran.

How can you say that to me? I don't believe in anything that Iran stands for. How goddamned stupid do you have to be to not understand that centralized power is centralized power whether it is in Iran or the US. That is what I, as a conservative, am opposed to. Why is that so hard for people like you to comprehend? People like you are turning the US into Iran. You think just because you are putting power into the hands of people you consider to be secular zealots that somehow that is different than putting power into the hands of someone who is a religious zealot. It isn't. It is exactly the same damn thing.

Chaining ourselves to the moral high ground does not make us good guys. Aside from making us easy targets, it merely makes us idiotic prisoners of our own self loathing.

While I don't totally disagree with you, your whining on and on about something that isn't going to change anytime too soon is like a 5 year old pitching a hissy fit. Suck it up, your guy lost, better luck next time.

Course it has nothing to do with race. Although it was interesting that segments of the crowd at the inauguration kept chanting "Black Power".....

Yes. There is no place left now. No where that a person can go to escape collectivism and religious and economimc tyranny. All we can do now is wait for it to all come crahsing down. There is no possible way that any of this is going to succeed. We now have one of the most unaccomplished, ner do wells that we have ever had in power, trying to fix the problems that liberalism has created with far more liberalism. The only cure he knows is to feed the patient more poison. Well, fine. If thats what it takes to put this entire sorry system out of its misery, I'm all for it.

You're not a conservative. You're a whiny old man with a shrunken soul espousing outmoded concepts and a vision of America that resembles Never-Never-Land.

No. The democratic processes in this country are no longer fair and honest. The true government we are supposed to have has been usurped by pure corruption and propaganda. Our educational systems are controlled by leftists, our news media is controlled by leftist, and our entertaiment industry is controlled by leftists. This is no longer a gentleman's debate. Its fucking war.

I am a conservative, a traditional liberal.

Or maybe even talk to somebody who's tried it. I know a lady who was raised in Russia. Given her upbringing she was completely dumbfounded that people in the US would even give the slightest consideration to socializing medicine.

How can you say that. Look at the great shape our programs like Social Security are in... Sure it's horribly horribly broken, but if we just keep raising taxes and slashing benefits we can prevent it's total collapse for at least another 10 years.

I don't deserve that. I am an honorable man, I have lived an honorable life. My only crime is a love for the principles and values that once defined my civilzation. But, I would never resort to terrorism to promote those principles. But you cannot inflict the kind of vile evil that the democrats have done to this country and not expect some kind of reaction. They have stolen their power. This is no longer a democracy or a constitutional republic. No one gets to do that without some kind of a reckoning.

If it's a war of words, you lose. If it's a war of ideas, you lose. If its a war of hot air, you stand a fighting chance. If it's a war of whining, you win.

You remind me of the Saddam's Minister of Information. Threatening to kick ass and take names while the piss ran down his leg off camera.

You certainly are.

Your behaviour in this thread most certainly deserves that. As is the usually the case (unfortunately) things have to get worse (perhaps much worse) to inspire that kind of change.

And you remind me of an ignorant fat boy. And, btw, I've never had piss running down my legs in my life and I have faced down far greater dangers than you represent.

So, the "old guy" calls you out and you blather. If you had any balls at all you'd say, "where do we meet". Your reply makes you as gutless as you contend Stan to be.

Mike - typical white guy. The USA does have universal healthcare, but you have to pay for it. D'oh. Thomas Mann - "Tolerance becomes a crime when applied to evil." The NYT - my leftist brochure. Calling an illegal alien an “undocumented immigrant” is like calling a drug dealer an “unlicensed pharmacist”. God doesn't believe in atheists, therefore they don't exist.

What's that? The old lady at the grocery store intent on getting those 5 kg of potatoes at half-price?
