I have had enoughof the Liberal Press

I know now that there is something really bad going on with the democrat party they lie constantly and point fingers while they have more problems with their own party...Bill Clinton gave, or sold military secrets to the Chinese Communist Government, ergo now they can target with precision the Western US aka Los Angeles San Fransisco San Diego et cetera...thanks DEMOCRATS for the newest threat (it used to just be the Soviet Union, now he added CHINA)

Plus he was offerd from Sudan Osama Bin Laen (you know the terrorist mastemind, who is either dead or very near it, due to medical condtions(he needs regular treatmen for failing kiney))

Vote the Democrats out because BILL CLINTON vetoed a bill that was passed by both houses of the Congress (House and Senate) to drill for oil in what is called ANWR (in the Arctic Circle where nobody goes) with modern equipment with a small footprint and no noticable damage to the area.

I want to drill for oil and I want to refine it without having to fill out tens os thousands of papers to satisfy a bunch of red tape that is unecessary and then proceed to be stopped because ther is a snail darter or a purple cone flower or a weird rat that I would probably kill on site anyway

Oh how boring.

pohopo

speaking of liberal media, anyone watch Stephen Colbert at the correspondent dinner?

Weedpacket

Why? Did he accidentally get pepper up his nose?

pohopo

He was bashing Bush pretty badly and Bush and his wife were sitting at the table next to the podium. When Colbert was done she completely ignored him. You can tell she was pissed.

Ah, now that makes more sense. He's not the guy who described Bush's wife as "hot".

(Still boring. Okay: why is it that in the United States liberal gets used in so much the same way that people in other countries might use fascist? There, that should make a nice bonfire ..... penny for the Guy, mister?)

Better idea. How about using all that time and energy to research better, more efficient renewable energy sources so we're no longer relying on Middle Eastern oil fields ?

"No noticeable damage" is a very vague quantification. A bit like saying a thermonuclear detonation is "a rather large bang".

That's great... gonna save that one!!!

I dont' think liberal gets thrown around as much as facist does in other countries.... but I do believe that it's definately used liberally 😉 Too often people who say: "You don't think as I do" call everyone else liberal, when in fact they're literally just regular, you know, using common sense (a great book by Thomas Paine). But that goes off the topic....

Vote the Democrats out

We did... and look at what we got: a dumbass fuck up who can't read a book (note the videos on Sept. 11 when he was reading to the school kids, the book was upside down!!) and is REPUBLICAN. Vote Communist!! At least they have an ideal!!! May not be attainable but they're forward thinkers!!! J/k....

Merve

Or move to Canada. Everybody loves us. And we have two parties that support a communist ideology: the Communist Party and the Marxist-Leninist Party! They actually won a lot of votes in a Missassauga riding.

What we got was the lesser of two evils, as someone mentioned around here recently.

And I can read children's books upside down, from memory, or from 15 feet away. So, substance in arguments is a Good Thing(tm).

AFA "liberal" goes, that'd be anyone to the "left" of the one doing the name-calling. So, the farther to the "right" you are, the more "liberals" there are to rail about.

There's a fairly large number of them AFAIAC .... 😉

The real question is, exactly how does this make them different from the rest of us?

And that's the real issue....

Yes, but you're educated. Bush ran multiple... multiple companies into the ground, and turned around and did the same to the US (in some people's eyes).
And I just find it funny, mainly because he sat there for a good few minutes before saying anything with the book upside down, not even noticing. That's the problem. He didn't seem to notice. And if he didn't want to look stupid, he failed.

Well, liberal is anything not conservative in the conservatives view, and really, you can globalize it and say that anyone that doesn't think your way is "liberal" in view. It's good to have opposing views, but not so much as to not be able to do anything in the country.

Pretty much as I suspected. "Fascist" is anyone to the "right" of the one doing the name-calling...... Remind me sometime to espouse my theory about two-party democracies.

Two parties, call them Andrew and Benjamin (the terms invented by the Right were "Left" and "Right"), representing opposite ends of the available spectrum of policies (draw a line between two points...).

Voters distribute themselves along this spectrum according to their own political opinions, with those preferring more of Andrew's policies positioned closer to Andrew's end of the spectrum and likewise for Benjamin. In the middle are a mass of voters who are pretty much ambivalent towards the two.

Now, say Andrew currently holds the majority. Benjamin wants to change this so moderates his policies a bit to have broader appeal - in other words, to claim a larger share of the political spectrum and snag voters who are currently on Andrew's side.
Of course Andrew does the same, and also moderates his policies.

Repeat ad nauseum.

Eventually both collide in the middle and there's really no difference between them any more.

Chances are that meanwhile there are new candidates appearing back out at the extremes who can restart the whole process again.

The problem with the US presidential nomination process, however, is that the people mostly likely to vote in the primaries are those closer to the extremes, and thus the primary elections tend to favor the candidates who [appear to] favor those extremes. Add to that the staggered nature of those primaries, and you also get unwarranted weight given to a few of the early primaries. As a result, we often end up with 2 [main] candidates who mostly represent either end of the spectrum, and then they fight over the majority left in the middle trying to figure out which is the lesser of evils.
