KD in CA Posted April 14, 2016 Share Posted April 14, 2016 His intellectual bankruptcy and fundamental dishonesty have absolutely nothing to do with his claimed liberalism. Liberalism is an entirely different kind of intellectual bankruptcy and fundamental dishonesty altogether. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keukasmallies Posted April 14, 2016 Share Posted April 14, 2016 Why should he be banned? To see what display name he comes up with next? In the interest of true disclosure, maybe banning is too harsh; we could demand he just change his display name to Asshat, eh? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Magox Posted April 14, 2016 Share Posted April 14, 2016 so someone who disagrees with the pack is a troll? No, but this qualifies as trolling: We essentially live in an era of conservative fiscal policies right now - low taxes, deregulation. free trade.

If you'd call what gator man does "disagreeing", then you're an even bigger moron. And you changed your mind? You said "I am a republican". Did you just decide to make **** up for the purpose of debate? No, someone with integrity such as yourself would never do that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cut taxes for high earners (Bush and Reagan cuts reduced taxes on all income brackets) Lowered union power (yes and many feel not enough) NAFTA (signed by Clinton, bipartisan approval) Fought SSM (I agree that repubs should approve this) Unfunded wars in the ME (funded the same we we funded the stimulus bill and many other trillions in spending, but iraq II was wrong) Voter ID laws (yes we need voter ID laws to make sure the right of voters is being correctly carried out) Gun rights (yup, a constitutional right) Citizens United (both parties abuse campaign funds) Fought environmental conservatism (?)

TH3 Posted April 14, 2016 Share Posted April 14, 2016 Gosh just off the top of my head As long as your bashing liberalism - what has "conservatism" brought us since the Reagan revolution? Cut taxes for high earners (Bush and Reagan cuts reduced taxes on all income brackets) Has this made the middle class more well off? Lowered union power (yes and many feel not enough) - And this has accomplished what now that it is done? NAFTA (signed by Clinton, bipartisan approval) - Yes - but it is a "conservative" proposal Clinton - like his wife - does what is politically expedient - and again - is it an unqualified success? Fought SSM (I agree that repubs should approve this) - Well conservatism lost that war - and at the end of the day - did it hurt our country - and if so how? Change your life? Unfunded wars in the ME (funded the same we we funded the stimulus bill and many other trillions in spending, but iraq II was wrong) So you agree that it was wrong? Voter ID laws (yes we need voter ID laws to make sure the right of voters is being correctly carried out) OK - now that voter ID laws are in effect - this has done what exactly? Since there was really no voter fraud to begin with - all it really was - and is is an effort to disenfranchise voting - which - in my mind - not very conservative Gun rights (yup, a constitutional right) A win for conservatism - i am not a gun owner - used to be - so didn't make my life better Citizens United (both parties abuse campaign funds) Not saying that "both sides" use funds - Is our election process better and more democratic because of this ruling?...i give you the 2016 POTUS election Fought environmental conservatism (?) Conservatives fight it - do their wins in this arena make our country better - how? Lower regulation for the financial industry (Did you miss the warnings given to dems by repubs in the house regarding fannie/freddie/mortgage securities risk?) Debating the platform - deregulation is a conservative concept...did financial deregulation make our country better and improve our lives? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
