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.Bizzarofelice wrote:there are three dems and 50 GOP types over here.lk_pick1 wrote:post over here with the 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.
Most of those definitions don't really apply to W, now do they? Here's another definition of liberal, btw, same source . . .lib·er·al ( P ) Pronunciation Key (lbr-l, lbrl)

Archaic. Permissible or appropriate for a person of free birth; befitting a lady or gentleman.

Then play it.Terry in Crapchester wrote:Ok, Dins, I'll play your game . . .
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.)Dinsdale wrote:Then play it.Terry in Crapchester wrote:Ok, Dins, I'll play your game . . .
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 ....

The fact that you don't agree with his proposed fix is irrelevant.then seeks to advance a domestic agenda designed specifically to undo the New Deal, is, by definition, engaged in reactionary political behavior.
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.Speaking of clueless. Contempt for an ineffective, unresponse, bloated, do nothing bureaucracy is "reactionary"?!? Pull your head out your ass, idiot.While we're at it, his contempt for the U.N. is also reactionary.
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?
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.mvscal wrote:For how long?
