DC is full of traitors and Commies today

[Lithium381]

commies????? ahhhhh oh, well i don't know about that....i know nothing of politics....i just got the right to vote a month ago! i'm in government class at school, and i thought communism didn't exist...they tried to but it didn't work cause people are inherently lazy...

"commie" is a convienient term for ATOT conservatives to label anybody who disagree with them.

<< "<< this country is obviously in need of reform in many different areas. >>



There is no need at all for any kind of Communist reform at all in this Country. If you think so you need to leave a little faster not look a little harder."

Love or leave it?

Geez some things never change! >>



you didn't read the rest of the posts up the thread obviously. all i said is that we have something good here. so why not perfect it? i NEVER said ANYTHING about communism at all. but there are undoubtedly some things that have to be changed. there's nothing wrong with making something that is already good, better.

Do not forgot that the word "traitor" is popular too.

My son Homer is not a communist. He may be a liar, an idiot, a communist, but he is NOT a PORN STAR!!!

If I dont think in these terms or use them at all, does that mean I am not conservative?

 

[drewshin]

yeah, while ignories like kilgor are worried about little people protesting, guys like robert hanssen have sold our national secrets to russia and others for the last twenty years and killed scores of our agents.

it's good to see that not all people agree with what's going on around them, and feel brave enough to voice it.

No I don't label anybody I disagree with a Commie or a Traitor and I don't consider all the people protesting in DC today as such. But if you?re walking around in a commie shirt promoting utopian socialist ideals I?m going to call you a commie. :frown:

bwahaha....communism isn't socialism, dude.

 

[Kilgor]

communism
NOUN: 1. A theoretical economic system characterized by the collective ownership of property and by the organization of labor for the common advantage of all members.
2. Communism a. A system of government in which the state plans and controls the economy and a single, often authoritarian party holds power, claiming to make progress toward a higher social order in which all goods are equally shared by the people. b. The Marxist-Leninist version of Communist doctrine that advocates the overthrow of capitalism by the revolution of the proletariat.

socialism
NOUN: 1. Any of various theories or systems of social organization in which the means of producing and distributing goods is owned collectively or by a centralized government that often plans and controls the economy.
2. The stage in Marxist-Leninist theory intermediate between capitalism and communism, in which collective ownership of the economy under the dictatorship of the proletariat has not yet been successfully achieved

See how the 2 go together?



<< while ignories like kilgor are worried about little people protesting >>



And being how I am so ignorie I was never worried about people protesting I was questioning there reason for being here if it's so evil.

 

[Red Dawn]

Man I thought you were talking about our government at first.

Kilgor

i understand how both are very similiar but you have to understand. things that have similiarities are not the same. nissan is similiar to honda. chevy similiar to ford. but they are not the same. on is not off. yes is not no. see what i mean?

 

[Kilgor]

<< Man I thought you were talking about our government at first. >>



LOL There are some freaky type people in the Government too.

 

[phantom309]

<< No I don't really mind protesting the government >>


Unless you disagree with what the protesters have to say.

 

[Perknose]

Standing up for what you believe in, even if it's unpopular, seems pretty damn American to me.

hell yes! rock on Perknose.

Perhaps you should explain that to the moron in the Mao shirt rather than us.

One leads to the other.

 

[Perknose]

<<One leads to the other.>>

Like dancing leads to sex. or, better yet, sex leads to dancing.

Socialism? Check that FICA line on your next paycheck, citizen. And . . . what percentage of our Federal budget is tied up each and every year in entitilement programs? We've got socialim right here in River City. Still, I don't think we're gonna raise the Red Star of all start singing the Internationale any time soon.

Communism was so pie in the sky whack that it was a bad joke on it's own damn self. Lessee, first we'll build this huge, centralized, all powerful central apparatus which will then -- ta daaa -- just wither away into Communist Utopia. AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Wither away, like, Stalinist Russia, Red China, or, for that matter ANY other once benign bureaucracy like the Vatican or our own Federal Government.

As for what this country means to me, it is the right and the privelege and even the duty of our first amendment freedom of speech, the most powerful and even dangerous right (sorry, 2nd amendment guys) we have. It was summed up for me by Supreme Court Justice Robert Jackson, on June 14, 1943, writing for the majority in striking down West Virginia's flag statute that forced Jehova's Witnesses to salute the flag and say the pledge of allegiance. This was at the height of WW ll, when the very existence of our democratic Western tradition hung in the balance. He wrote:

"If there is any fixed star in our constitutional constellation, it is that no official, high or petty, can prescribe what shall be orthodox in politics, nationalism, religion, or other matters of opinion or force citizens to confess by word or act their faith therein. If there are any circumstances which permit an exception, they do not now occur to us."

Recognize that date? To underscore their decision, they released their verdict on Flag Day.

No one of us has to like or agree with morons with extra Mao on their t-shirts or folks who say Jehova without getting stone (a Life of Brian reference, just for Red) to be proud to live in a country strong enough and confident enough to stick to it's highest principles, even when the going gets tough.

I'm proud to be an American, for every right reason there is. Grateful, too.

communism is a form of radical socialism. communism really got its start when the socialist parties soundly endored WWI. war had been seen by the radical socialists as something used by the capitalists to keep the proletariat in order, and that two socialist states could never engage in war against each other. well, it happened, so the radicals left the socialist parties to form communist parties.

<< Heh, there are plenty of countries you could live in.....where you wouldn't have to put up with such nonsense. >>

No I don't really mind protesting the government, but these people are anarchists and commies they can all go to hell. I just watched a dam immigrant telling everybody how bad my country is, if they don't like it go back to where they came from. >>


Yeah, but where they came from, if they said something like that they'd be killed... >>



Umm....I hate to don the tights and become Capt. Obvious here, but I think that's his point. They don't get how good they have it here....

 

[datalink7]

Commies? Want to join the ghost of McCarthy in the Fletcher Memorial Home?

Like how capitalism leads to socialism leads to communism?

And about the traffic... common' man, you know there is hardly any traffic in the Federal Triangle area mid-day on a Saturday so that is a half-ass excuse. Just because you disagree with their views doesn't mean they shouldn't be able to protest. And don?t confuse communism how it has been implemented in some countries as what communism really is. It is actually an economic system, like capitalism. You can have a totalitarianism government in a capitalist country, and you can have a multi-party democracy in a communist country, although both are rare. What I am saying is Communism /= Totalitarianism, even though that is how it is historically thought of.

Anyways, just go to Potomac Mills today like I did today and support our nations economy

 

[Linflas]

The problem is that the Washington metro area has 4.5 million people living in it and no matter what the issue protestors seem to feel that they have every right to disrupt our lives. Believe it or not the vast majority of us are no different than folks living in the rest of the country. We work, have families, and gripe about politics just like people elsewhere. You live here long enough and you end up loathing all protestors no matter what their cause is especially the ones that seem to think that damaging other peoples property or blocking major roads is the correct way to get their particular little message across.

I came here thinking you were complaining about the distributed computing forum
