And you wondered why I lumped you with the other hyper-Conservatives on this forum, Flashy?
These are the only things I ever see you post in this forum.
excuse me, how is stating that Republicans and Democrats both in the public and private sector use every possible legal means (and many illegal means) at their disposal to avoid taxes indicative of being a hyper conservative?
The original idiot poster made it seem like the republicans were the only ones capable of doing this. Pointing out that the first family of democratic politics was in fact one of the largest tax avoiders was in fact a direct contradiction to the absurd contention made by the poster i criticized. Nowhere did i defend what republicans do...i simply stated the fact that democrats are equally culpable, and to attempt to hold democrats blameless while the republicans are the only ones doing things wrong is absurd and ignorant.
And suggesting the difference between the fact that even a slime like Cheney has the right to the presumption of innocence when faced with potential "war crimes" indictments, hardly smacks of being pro-conservative, does it?
Or do you believe that we should do away with due process? In which case i think you would have alot more in common with many of the conservatives you critique than i do.
Either way, someone bringing in Cheney's possible actions during a war, and Al Franken potentially having tax problems is in fact not a republican/democrat or conservative/liberal issue.
Even Cheney has the right to be judged fairly under the law.
It is a retarded and irrelevant comparison.
If he wanted to compare something similar there are plenty republican examples of tax problems to draw a proper comparison.
I do not know any "hyper conservatives", who, like i do, believe absolutely in:
-Legalization of Marijuana
-Legalization of hemp production for business purposes
-Full conversion of the US economy to being powered by renewable energy within 20 years
-Massive government spending program to build wind,solar, hydro, nuclear plants and a country-wide maglev train system with federal funds.
-Stricter conservation laws
-Ban on drilling in ANWAR
-Full government health care
-Pro-Choice
-Anti-Death Penalty
- Stricter and heavier fines, restrictions, and laws regarding corporate polluters
-Tighter Gun Control
- More beneficial prison programs for lesser offenders to reduce return to crime
- Path to citizenship for Illegal Immigrants
- Ending the "war on drugs"
- Support of Gay Marriage
- Support of unrestricted stem cell research
- Support of a higher minimum wage
- opposition to school prayer
and a host of other issues
so spare me your obnoxious baiting....i guess the only things you see, are rather selective...you obviously missed my stances on gay marriage, the environment, drugs, illegal immigration, religion and government, health care, and a host of other issues so please point out to me where "hyper conservatives" support the measures i do, please?
Since there are only perhaps 5-6 conservatives here and they rarely debate on issues i have mentioned above, what else is there to criticize them on?
I have already gone out of my way to call Bush a terrible President on about a hundred occasions.
The difference is that the overwhelming number of far lefters on here are just as far up their own asses as the conservatives are, and as prejudicial as many conservatives come off, they are equalled only by the same fanaticism and sheer delusions of those here on the far left.
When you point out to me where the conservatives here talk about the issues mentioned above, you will find my responses against them....the difference being that people like yourself spend your time looking to seize on all the places where people *DISAGREE* with you rather than agree.
Because i agree with conservatives on perhaps a grand total of 5 issues, mostly related to economics and foreign policy/military/terrorism and disagree with them on about 20 issues, related to civil, social and environmental, does not equal your brilliant "lumping in" of me with hyper-conservatives.
The only lumping you have succeeded in doing is showing yourself to being an astute and passionate defender of an "all or nothing" approach to politics and issues.
Ironically...you have alot more in common with George W. Bush and the Rush Limbaughs of this world than i do...you are very much wedded to the idea of "you are either with us or against us".the mantra people of your ilk use to deride the idiotic Bush administration as being inflexible and inexcusable is actually quite apropos for people so far in the opposition of the other end, that it is your mantra too without even realizing it.
