A question for JPP anti-Trump zealots

[MAGA MAN]

Absolutely. 100%.

I mean, you still try to justify the Iraq War - that's pretty rare, even for hacks on the right.

Name calling- that's what you've devolved to.

You play the Iraq card when all else fails lol.

That deflection aside, it's ironic that it's not the right trying to put lipstick on the pig---it's the left. There is no white washing communism. It's an unmitigated evil that has killed a hundred million people and consigned even more to a life of misery.

And unlike Nazism which was rightfully consigned to the historical dustbin, communism is very much alive and well in several parts of the world.

By the Trump standard: denounce it fully, or wear it.

 

[Cancel 2020.1]

You have every opportunity to explain yourself.

And I did. My argument was never that "communism works" or "communism is a good theory." Communism hasn't worked, and doesn't. That isn't inconsistent at all w/ what I've been saying.

 

[Русский агент]

All you're saying is that if a dictator abuses power and causes misery for many, and also calls himself a "conservative," then conservatism is evil from that point on.

Isn't that what you say, HOSS? ;dunno:

Wow, you've gone full blown commie.

Isn't that a name calling thing?

What am I missing here?

OK. Perhaps I misunderstood your post. But you have been sailing hard left lately.

Wooosh.

Not really, since it is simply short for "communist", which is a description of an ideology. Not at all equivalent with "hack", which is purely derogative.

I'm just anti-Trump. You view that as hard left.

Very few of my positions are what I'd call hard left, or even left. And here, I am not advocating communism. I'm against communism, but it isn't the inherent evil that Nazism is. Nazism preaches hate, inequality & oppression. Communism - as a theory - does not.

 

[Darth Omar]

Wooosh.

HOSS: Marx and Engels did not disclose the fact that their ideology embodies racial hierarchies and inequality, so they are morally superior to Hitler, who didn't try to conceal his evil.

I don't see "hack" as purely derogative. I see it as a way to describe someone who has lost or at least temporarily abandoned the ability to see things objectively, and who is all in on a party or leader, without questioning.

Cease this bickering, mere mortals.

You are in the august presence of HOSS!

The High Oracle of Situational Selectivity has pronounced his opinion.

Let all acknowledge his words as unassailable fact from this day forward, or be branded "hack" or "dopey" for all eternity.

I view being anti-someone on a political discussion board because of his personality a mental disorder, period.

You're making up your own definition of Nazism. Here's the actual one:

designating, of, or characteristic of the German fascist political party (National Socialist German Workers' Party), founded in 1919 and abolished in 1945: under Hitler it seized control of Germany in 1933, systematically eliminated opposition, and initiated a program of nationalism, rearmament, political aggression, and racism, esp. anti-Semitism

https://www.collinsdictionary.com/us/dictionary/english/nazi
Except for the last part (arguably) it defines the modern Democrat Party.

he same source, definition of communism:

Communism is the political belief that all people are equal, that there should be no private ownership and that workers should control the means of producing things.

This defines precisely the modern Democrat Party.

So maybe you are a commie.

Here's the M-W definition:

a person who works solely for mercenary reasons : hireling party hacks

Now explain how that isn't purely derogative when describing someone who writes what they believe in.

"Except for that last part?" Really? Kind of a big part, innit?

I'm not a Democrat, and didn't vote Democrat in either of the last 2 Presidential elections. But Democrats aren't "commies" anyway.

Nice try, though.

The last part of the definition of Nazism added to the entire definition of Communism precisely defines the Democrat Party.

Well, as I said in the next response - Bush appointed a crony to FEMA instead of someone experienced, and when the local efforts broke down and were failing, he was slow to react & lead.

So Trump did good, right?

 

[Buckly J. Ewer]

The response was good.

And what does that have to do w/ Trump again?

Absolutely nothing.
