Shadow's right, of course, except in the minds of Rightie fringe whacks, for whom everybody else is a "Leftist!"

No, he's not.

There is no "Left" in American politics. Nobody with any influence is calling for the dictatorship of the proletariat, confiscation of all private property, or collectivization. Sometimes I think it's too bad that nobody is, just so Righties would have to be honest.

Than there's no right either and everyone is just a slightly different shade of center :rolleyes: That nobody of influence is calling for it doesn't mean that no one is, there for your statement is a lie, not unexpected though.

That's why centralized planning will not work. Be it with means of production, or taxes and spending. We are not a people who want to be ruled under an iron thumb. You do not force those who do not get along into a Union they cannot avoid.

No, you're a collection of bumpkins and idiots, who are driving a great country into the ground.

Hehe. Ok, I won't fall for the bait this time. Go back to your bunker.

Edit: Changed my mind. Are you male? You know who ELSE was male? HITLER! You know how THAT worked out!

Lol how did I know SOMEONE would bring hitler into the thread? How did I know? How did I know? Hitler taxed everyone and was a racist, kinda like Chuck Schumer and Barrack Obama.

The only reason there is a push to "cool" political "rhetoric" is because the Democrats and "progressives" know that they are getting their shit pushed in as illustrated by the last election.

The last election eliminated the hick state "blue dog" democrats, which weren't even close to democrats on any issue. Essentially all that happened is you got the letter R back next to your representatives.

Meanwhile, the last session had more done than the prior 8 years combined. Btw, the only progressive in Congress is our senator from vermont.

LOL, riiiiiight

Name an actual left wing or progressive piece of legislation that has been passed. I cannot think of one. Unless you are a rabid frothing fearmonger of the ghey, who are now allowed to simply tell people in the army that they are gay...

Giving the insurance companies a mandate is a republican idea of the 90s, no public option, no single payer.
Giving health insurance to the patriots of 9/11 is left?
Regulating wall street who stole 1.5 trillion of tax payer money and drove the world into a collapse is left?
Trying to reduce pollution so our planet doesn't become so polluted that our children cannot survive is left?
Bailouts to corporations like GM are left?
Continuing the Bush occupations of 2 foreign countries are left?
Continuing the Bush stimulus is left?

Seriously, just name one.

Sanders is a self-proclaimed socialist; that's even worse than a progressive.

Giffords is a self-proclaimed Blue Dog Democrat.

Look you leftist bastard. The adults are now in charge of the purse strings. So sit the FUCK down and SHUT THE FUCK UP. The adults are in charge.

You can stroke your disturbed mental illness mind some more, but sit the fuck down and shut the fuck up. Adults in charge now.

I'm guessing you use the F word so frequently because the wifey won't let you anywhere near her.

Maybe you should try spanking that little monkey to Palin videos.

No, his wife enjoys the word "fuck", it's what she's doing to taxpayers when she collects her bloated salary and pension. Pay no attention to Spidey, we've already established that while he rails on "liberals", he really only cares about himself. The tightening of the "purse strings" only applies to other people.

In other words, he's a hypocrite.

The delusional revisionist history from the frothy mouthed Obama haters never fails to surprise, and hey look, it's spidey acting like he's swapped his lithium for whiskey again...

Politics have never been clean and respectable, but there was a clear shift led by Bush voting conservatives following 9/11, with hate radio and Newscorp acting as ushers.

Are you kidding? Do you not remember all the bush hate that went on from 2004-2008 and still continues?

You see it is the violent vitriolic rhetoric from the left of the last decade that now allows the right to do the same with immunity. fuck obama.

Save your feedback for someone who gives a damn. I'm not going to waste my time explaining why your pathetic assumptions and strawmen are wrong. You've long since forfeited any notion of being taken seriously. Please, just go take your meds and stop embarrassing other conservatives.

Weak. I like how your trying to act like I said non-conservatives have impeccable manners.

Outrage over an imperious "president" overstepping his authority and sacrificing American lives for an unnecessary war is understandable, and is behavior not relegated only to one side of the political spectrum. I saw this outrage intensify when the Bushies responded to any criticism with character assassination and questioning of the critics patriotism.

Seeing the same kinds of heated/stupid reactions (see "2nd Amendment solutions") from the other side over a president trying to provide basic healthcare to American citizens is not the other side of the same coin. It's ridiculous. The two presidencies are simply not equal on the ClusterFvckOMeter.

I started hating him instead of just disliking him when it was exposed the reasons he gave for invading Iraq were complete bullshit. Now that it's been revealed that he was just a simple minded bumpkin led astray I almost feel sorry for him.

We have the empirical evidence! Right-wingers are sooo screwed now! :p

Now we know the secret, how could we have not seen their unquestionable logic this whole time?

I will get on the secret socialist spy network and let the gay agenda folks know we need to have a BIG talk with Soros asap!

People on the left apparently believe that the term "strawman" and its derivatives have some sort of magical mystery power that renders both arguments and history null and void by its mere mention. I blame Harry Potter.

Anybody remember after the '94 election, headlines such as "The Gingrich that stole Christmas" and "The Gingrich Congress: How mean will it be?" before the Republicans even took control? American politics have historically been pretty vicious. The current culture of inflamed rhetoric began in '94 when the Democrats lost control of Congress which they had possessed for forty years - the entire adult life of the vast majority of those in the media - and thereby upset what the liberal media considered to be the natural and proper order of things. Even as much as the right hated Carter and the left hated Reagan and everyone hated Nixon, only the Republicans winning the House really broke the media's civility.

Does this mean I can look to you for an answer on how that montage is relevant to what I posted? Who do you blame for the popularity of straw among right wing sock puppets?

The butthurt was strong then, and it definitely showed. The Dems have always been limp wristed though, I don't think that 94 had the same element of sleazy veracity that was the neoconservative movement wrapping itself in the flag after 9/11. It wasn't the Dems or liberals who brought us the SwiftBoat debacle, a new low setting for politics so profound that it's now a verb in the modern English lexicon. The neocons back then were just amazing in a rather sick and twisted way. They and their media mouthpieces created an environment where guys like Max Cleland, Dan Inouye and Bob Kerrey could have their patriotism questioned and be lectured to about warfare by draft dodgers and corporate suits. Maybe not as bile inducing as ol Newt being mocked as a Dr. Seuss character, but you know, unsavory stuff for sure.

Did you cum from stroking your lolibtard brain?

Face it fucker, We The People defeated anybody that thinks like you. You are the problem with liberals and I beg you to please keep it up. Alternative media which help liberals in 06/08 is now turning against them.

Because you know what? People that have access to the intarweb likely work, they likely pay taxes, and they likely hate obama. Fuck obama. People that think like you are going extinct as tax paying Americans take our country back.

You are defeated. You are done. Fuck Obama. You're done. Game over. We The People are wide awake now, the lolibtard experiment is over. AMERICA wants nothing to do with it.
