The Evils of Socialism Explained

Recommended Posts

You might actually be too stupid to post on this board.

Without BigFatBillsFan who will interrupt discussions of merits of supply side vs Keynesian economic theory and underlying principles to remind us all that equilibrium is still where supply meets demand? Who will let us know the net effects of increasing/decreasing one input in a bi-variable equation? Who will set us straight on the distinctions between apples and oranges and cats and dogs? Can we really have adult conversations without being bombarded with fun facts from the 8th grade?

Technically it's communistic. "Socialistic" is central government control of the means of economic output and distribution.

 

In other words, government-run health care is socialistic. But a bill of attainder to levy a "windfall tax" to punish people who make "too much" money, or ass-!@#$ing GM's bondholders to give a sweetheart deal to the UAW...those are communistic.

 

I knew you were a !@#$ing attorney!

Listen, you don't come on this board and talk to people like that. Tom may be a mean spirited prick and not worthy of a life preserver if he fell overboard, but he certainly doesn't deserve to be called a lawyer!

His desire for universal heath care may be socialistic but that doesn't make him an overall socialist. So now how is he a socialist?

The guy is a lot of things - his promises of a new direction haven't come to fruition and we'd be better served under more moderate (preferably right-of-center) Executive leadership. But he is not an unabashed socialist.

 

The point that I was getting at earlier is that many of the policy initiatives that he has championed (and consequently labeled as a "socialist" for), were at one point or another suggested, proposed, or undertaken by a Republican politician or administration.

 

Not all, but many.

 

There is so much ideological conflation amongst politicians that it's sickening. The greatest thing is is that politicians have convinced ordinary folks that there is a cat spit worth of difference between D and R. "It's bad when 'D' does it, distinguishable when 'R' does it." It's "socialist" when 'D' does it, and compromise or when 'R' does it.

 

Oh well.

LMAO! :lol:

:lol: !@#$ you, !@#$ ball.

 

For the record: I'm not an attorney. Although most of the attorneys I know say I have the skills and knowledge to be one, I'm disqualified by having a soul.

I'm not the one that has no idea between what is socialist and what is communist. Not only do you guys not seem to have a clue, but then you post it all over this board. It's kind of funny to watch and when you are called out all you do is call people stupid.

 

Cue the insults in 3, 2, 1...

Well, since your understanding of economic theory seem to be more at a k-4th grade level I thought you might want some input from the smarter kids. You would have to be able to tell the difference between and apple and your ass before I could explain to you the difference between an apple and an orange. So work on that for a while and then we can get to the difference between apples and oranges.

Good post.

The one thing Obama can't campaign on this year is hope and change.

 

 

 

LMAO! :lol:

Yes, keeping in mind the established level of stupid that can post on this board...

 

I'm starting to realize that most of the libs on this board (and some of the Conservatives) don't even bother responding to your posts, not to mention posting in your threads. I think they've already picked up on the fact that talking to you guys is like talking to a goat. You don't seem to really care about debating the issues as much as you do about insulting "libtards".

 

Spewing nothing but hot wind about how stupid everyone who doesn't agree with you speaks more to your psychology then it does about the "retards" you feel the need to insult.

 

If you're really that hard up to feel intellectually superior whey don't you try setting up a cardboard cutout in your kitchen write "liberal" on the front and yell at that for an hour each day. That might make you feel a little better. Or, like I said before, you can talk to your doctor about Valium.

You're a liberal? Couldn't see that through all the stupid. And why do I need a cardboard cutout in my kitchen? What the hell do you think you are?

 

You've managed to be demonstrably, factually incorrect in every single post you've made. Including this one. I wonder why I call you an idiot? :unsure:

Damn, you are really stupid, DC rarely starts threads. For the short time you have been a member of this board you have "atained" Conneresque status. Your most noble option is to slink away.

I was speaking about both of you. It's hard not to feel sorry. It must really suck to be so intellectually insecure. Perhaps you should slink away...
