Holy crap, dude. I kind of figured Conservatives would be outnumbered here, but it seems like 90% of the people on gaia are Liberals! Or at least they hate Conservatives, whatever the difference is.
Seriously...you should listen to Amora and just quote your sources in actual quote boxes. You know the same ones that
iAniro
look like this?
because it's bad enough that we have to listen to things that get refuted, but it's even worse when you not only blow up text size and don't even bother to put it in
I never said I didn't know how to balance a checkbook...you're twisting my words around once again to merely fit your agenda and at the same time, attempt to make me look like a total idiot. Now I many not claim to know much about economics, but I'll agree with you that even the dumbest of persons knows how to balance a checkbook. The only mention I've had of one in the forums was that I didn't have a checking account right now. If it wasn't on purpose, then how the hell do you go around and confuse that with balancing checkbooks?!
And as for the three people that you brought up, I do know that they were all advocates of lassez-faire capitalism in their time and that two of them were seen as libertarians.
And honestly, you make it sound as though I am trying to cure cancer on a discussion forum that you are making a complete mockery of...besides, I'm honestly not even taking a single word you say seriously anymore, and your post history is proof of that.
You're focusing on something as miniscule as me not knowing what a tax refund is? Big deal. I'm not the one making an a** out of myself while shilling around for a group of misguided, uneducated idiots.
I need to relax? Umm...yeah, it's kind of hard to when someone is as mind-boggingly partisan as you.
And I don't consider quoting everything you said between May of this year and now and calling you out on it to be a "petty personal attack."
You need to realize that you have not put forth any ideas, that's right, none, even worth considering on the ED-P. People are not going to take you seriously if you force labelistic garbage onto them. Not one thing you have said has been backed up with any reliable source because you've not bothered to link them at all. We'd take the Tea Party a lot more seriously than just a group of Obama-hating idiots if they actually had brains and actually thought for themselves instead of identifying with the neo-conservative agenda. Hell, even some of my Republican friends say that they don't see people like you as Republicans, but as extremist versions of themselves from the Civil War.
Sadly, you guys have not only injected a lack of intelligence (proven in your anti-intellectualist rants about college professors), but you've also shown that supposedly, social conservatism is law in the eyes of the Tea Party. Meaning less openness and individuality, and more brainwashing, something that I personally do not like.
Perhaps if you were more open-minded and honest, then perhaps I'd consider stopping the humiliation that I've already called you out on. Hell, saying that liberalism is a mental disorder (or a disease, I forget at the moment) is already showing nothing but political weakness.
You're just sad, you know that, Nighthawk? A sad, strange little man stuck in his own little closed-minded world. I'm more of a free-thinking individualist, whereas you just suck on the teet of the first group of idiots that influences you. Heh, sadly, that particular group of idiots sees anyone that doesn't agree with them as nothing but a group of "liberals."
Sadly, you're stuck in a two-dimensional paradigm where everything and everyone is either liberal or conservative, where everything is stuck in a black-or-white scenario with no grey area. That kind of thinking is sadly taking over this country, and that kind of thinking is also what causes just about every major problem that humanity has ever dealt with.
I never said you called people the exact wording of what I just accused you of. But considering that you're simply ignoring the fact that you have labeled people as such things, to say I'm making it up is a really big stretch.
It seems as though you have skewed the very definition of socialism to attack a president who has basically been a do-nothing shill for Congress. I doubt you even know what true socialism is. Were you born around the thick of the Cold War? Have you ever been to a truly socialistic country before in your life? If both of these answers are now, then you really have no right to be crying "socialist."
You do realize that there is a difference between Socialism and Marxism, right? After all, considering that you are claiming that Obama is indeed a Marxist communist Muslim from Kenya (yes, I'm still going after you on that because of the fact that there are just some teabaggers who never shut up about the birth certificate), which one is he then? Is he the one that's led Europe to financial prowess despite it's recent financial troubles (which were, in a way, caused directly by what happened in Wall Street with banks betting away bad loans to make money)? Or is he the kind of socialist that is power-hungry and is willing to subvert the human rights of everyone in this country the way Stalin did? This is a legitimate question I am asking you, and if you can't even answer that properly, then what are you even doing?
Oh, by the way, no comment on me calling you out on saying that racial warfare is a hoax?
By the way, would you care to at least cite your sources for your information? Or are you going to continue your mindless ranting about how Obama and all liberals are nothing but mindless socialists?
I would have an intelligent discussion, if you would kindly stop calling everyone that disagrees with ya a Nazi/commie/socialist/facist/Maoist/Muslim fool...like most of you Teabaggers do to the President. I personally find Obama to have no backbone out of all of them, but to go as far as to give him these demeaning and just outright lies you call "the truth" makes me wonder just how much of this country's population has gone insane.
Also, it wouldn't hurt if you actually started citing sources instead of trolling and blaming liberals for everything. Tea Partiers are not that innocent either.
And about the whole class warfare thing...let's see...considering that this country is increasingly becoming a banana republic, you better get used to more discussions that are in favor of the existence of class warfare...and also, race warfare just happens to exist as well (prime example: the Rodney King beating in '92 and the blatant acquittal of the white cops that beat him up, which lead to race riots in Los Angeles.).
How in the hell do you misinterpret something I say to make it seem as though I'm a communist? Seriously? That's your excuse?
Just so you know, it's kinda really hard to take you seriously when:
a) You provide absolutely no sources to anything you even remotely argue, despite them being paragraphs long. It means absolutely nothing unless you provide a link to what you argue instead of just copying and pasting a really long and annoying Tea Party rant.
b) I'm not the one playing the labelist card here, blaming liberals/progressives for their problems. I assume you watch Glenn Beck and believe that that progressives want to "step all over the Constitution?" For the record, your fears are entirely unfounded about socialism and communism in this country because socialists/communists represent a smaller group of people than it seems. In fact, most liberals in this country can be seen as somewhere between socialistic and moderate. Too bad for you that you aren't smart enough to differentiate the difference.
c) You've constantly called anyone who doesn't agree with you either a liberal or a Nazi/Communist. One example: You told someone in the forums that didn't agree with you that public schools were socialist. Honestly, that kind of mentality is not only stupid, but it's also a bit scary that people that actually agree with that statement were elected into office.
Another example is you saying I had "Nazi/Communist tactics" when in fact I never identified myself as liberal or conservative. The fact is that I don't identify myself with either group because neither of them have it right. The ones elected into office may say they want to help the people, when instead they will just screw us over. Democrats have no backbone for s**t, and Republicans just want to shove what they believe down everyone else's throat. I've decided to not be a sheep, but a lone wolf. Too bad you can't do the same.

So seriously, give it up.
