Still looking for the amusing part of this thread. My best bet is to keep looking, find my keys and drive outta here.

[OCmike]

Yet, you edit what I post, you comment on what I post -

Next thing we know, you all will be the guys screaming "PRO LIFE, PRO LIFE". Might not be a bad thing, for a bunch of pathetic lefties.

Who edits your posts? Me? Keep lookin' chica. And just for the record, I'm a regsitered member of the GOP.

UnWAR Sherman for not hitting enough paydirt

Funny stuff.

[stuckinia]

I try to shelter my kids from the sight of people like this as best as I can until they can at least differentiate between nightmare and reality.

Perhaps you should attempt to shelter your kids from your desires to have sex with them.

The Taco Cabanas here suck. Much better in San Antonio.

Btw, Larry-lover, Katy isn't banned. She just dropped a bobby pin in her taco and is trying to blame management.

[Cripple Fight]

Un ban Katy.

Yeah bring that dumb, gravy training cunt back in here so I can run her stupid hick ass again.

I'm pretty sure Bace does.

And they all master at the art of suckage.

Sorry, Susie. I don't have any. You'll have to find some other excuse as to "why everyone here runs Dio's ass".

Rack. While your numbers may be a little low (particularly on the GOP side), anyone who thinks this board is dominated by liberals is either extremely delusional, badly in need of a remedial reading comprehension course, or both.

The Liberal population is far greater than the other boards.

Hardly a united front there, Crown. Just sayin'.

And you can't exactly compare Perk or Phibes to any of the American liberals here.

[Dinsdale]

American liberals

Any more, these threads read like a roll call for fucking retards.

George W Bush is the most liberal politician of prominence right now.


The list above sure doesn't look like a Who's Who of Bush supporters.


ONCE AGAIN -- maybe learn what them big fancy words mean, BEFORE attempting to use them in a sentence.

Talk show hosts are about as reliable for spoon-feeding you your vocabulary as they are reliable for being truthful and accurate about...anything.


So, I'd love to see a new version of this discussion...AFTER certain peole learn what the word "liberal" means...obviously doesn't mean what most of you seem to think it does.

[Cicero]

No, you guys are allowed to think a certain way, I just think you guys def have a strong voice here, unlike some of other boards.

Most of those definitions don't really apply to W, now do they? Here's another definition of liberal, btw, same source . . .

liberal

adj 1: showing or characterized by broad-mindedness; "a broad political stance"; "generous and broad sympathies"; "a liberal newspaper"; "tolerant of his opponent's opinions" [syn: broad, large-minded, tolerant] 2: having political or social views favoring reform and progress 3: tolerant of change; not bound by authoritarianism, orthodoxy, or tradition [ant: conservative] 4: given or giving freely; "was a big tipper"; "the bounteous goodness of God"; "bountiful compliments"; "a freehanded host"; "a handsome allowance"; "Saturday's child is loving and giving"; "a liberal backer of the arts"; "a munificent gift"; "her fond and openhanded grandfather" [syn: big, bighearted, bounteous, bountiful, freehanded, handsome, giving, openhanded] 5: not literal; "a loose interpretation of what she had been told"; "a free translation of the poem" [syn: free, loose] n 1: a person who favors a political philosophy of progress and reform and the protection of civil liberties [syn: progressive] [ant: conservative] 2: a person who favors an economic theory of laissez-faire and self-regulating markets

Only the last definition above applies to W.

When you say that he's not a conservative, I get what you're saying in that he's not exactly a Calvin Coolidge-type conservative (neither, for that matter, was Ronald Reagan -- just sayin'). But it's a pretty big leap of faith to go from that to painting him as a liberal.

Basically, W's neither a liberal or a conservative. He's more of a "I care about myself and the rest of my silver-spoon buddies, and fuck all the rest of y'all" type.

[Dinsdale]

Ok, Dins, I'll play your game . . .

Then play it.

Not with a "dictionary" definition, but a political one.


A "liberal", as a general rule, supports progressive, often broad-sweeping changes to effect a certain goal.

I challenge you to name ONE president in American history that has thrown out more norms and instituted new policies to acieve certain goals than W?

No-bid contracts to facilitate pre-emptive wars, complete gutting of the Bill of Rights, etc etc etc etc etc etc etc ....


I can't think of a more "liberal" policy than those.


But, don't tell the self-proclaimed "conservatives" this...their world will come crashing down.

Herein lies the difference between W and self-proclaimed "liberals": the goals that liberals try to promote through sweeping changes are goals that will promote progress for all, and move society forward. What W is trying to do is a "Back to the Future"-type approach that, if ever fully implemented, would push most Americans back to the sort of life described in Upton Sinclair's novel The Jungle (I strongly recommend that you read that.)

As for the Bill of Rights, it was self-described "liberals" who helped give it the meaning it has today. There was a time when most "conservatives" thought the Bill of Rights didn't apply to the States. And recently, Scalia -- who styles himself as an "originalist" -- has floated the idea that the Establishment Clause of the First Amendment doesn't apply to the States.

FDR was a liberal. And there's really no comparison between FDR and W. Like I said, W isn't really a liberal or a conservative, more of a "I care about myself and my silver-spoon buddies, and fuck all the rest of y'all" type.

[RadioFan]

Yep, definitely a Democrat board


Of course, the notion that the majority here aren't conservative-leaning is right in line with most of lk's and Sissy's takes.

[Terry in Crapchester]

And recently, Scalia -- who styles himself as an "originalist" -- has floated the idea that the Establishment Clause of the First Amendment doesn't apply to the States.

It quite clearly doesn't.

Read on:

http://caselaw.lp.findlaw.com/data/cons ... endment14/

All persons born or naturalized in the United States and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside. No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.

The Privileges and Immunities Clause of the 14th Amendment has been held to incorporate the Bill of Rights, or at least most of it, and make it applicable to the States. Scalia's opinion to the contrary notwithstanding, the entire First Amendment has been held, at least thus far, to be so incorporated.

You can huff and sputter all you want, but it's right there in black and white.

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion

Congress already did with the DOM Act in '96.

[Terry in Crapchester]

You can huff and sputter all you want, but it's right there in black and white.

Huffing and sputtering? I think not.

But you can't read the Bill of Rights without reading it in conjunction with the Fourteenth Amendment.

Btw, Dins, if you're looking for a good description of Bush, from a political standpoint, here's one that does the trick far better than "liberal."

Reactionary

Further proof of your crippling imbecility.

Responding to Dins' reference to W as a liberal. He's far closer to a reactionary than he is to a liberal.

That belief, among others, is what makes you a Grade A, irremediable dumbfuck.

Yeah, but lk's offhand remark that this was the "liberal" board kept it going.

[Goober McTuber]

If it was really a liberal board, George W. Bush would post here.

[Terry in Crapchester]

One who believes that the New Deal is "socialism," according to at least one of his Business School professors, then seeks to advance a domestic agenda designed specifically to undo the New Deal, is, by definition, engaged in reactionary political behavior.

While we're at it, his contempt for the U.N. is also reactionary.

It's obvious you don't have a clue, once again.

[Terry in Crapchester]

One who believes that the New Deal is "socialism," according to at least one of his Business School professors,

Needless to say, it clearly is.

then seeks to advance a domestic agenda designed specifically to undo the New Deal, is, by definition, engaged in reactionary political behavior.

Attempting to fix a broken Social Security system is "reactionary". Guess again, dumbshit. The fact that you don't agree with his proposed fix is irrelevant.

Privatization is a "fix" for a program that runs a surplus? Guess again. It's a rather transparent attempt to zero-fund Social Security by an end-around, rather than head-on. He loses if he tries it head-on, and he knows it.

While we're at it, his contempt for the U.N. is also reactionary.

Speaking of clueless. Contempt for an ineffective, unresponse, bloated, do nothing bureaucracy is "reactionary"?!? Pull your head out your ass, idiot.

Once again, he is moving forward and leaving the relics of the past behind while dragging reactionaries like you kicking and screaming.

Are you trying to troll here or are you really this stupid?

The U.N. has been around only 60 years. In the greater scheme of things, that's a pretty short period of time. W is not moving forward, he's going back to the old days, i.e., before the U.N. existed, in terms of how he settles his disputes.

Are you really that dense?

[Terry in Crapchester]

Privatization is a "fix" for a program that runs a surplus?

For how long? Do we just sit around, do nothing and wait for inevitable trainwreck? The reactionary says, yes.

No. I myself have suggested raising the retirement age to 70. Common-sense solution, or at least it seems one to me, and far less risky than privatization.
