Conservatism isn't governance, it's dogma like BoTHsiDeRism

Plenty of white people call women bitches...in fact, there was a thread I started that showed exactly that.

"Cat Scratch Fever" was written before a single rap song.

So? I call the ones who deserve it bitches too.

You said some people were pissed off because they "couldn't".

In polite society that's true, unless you're a black rapper.

White, phony baloney progressives and media whore types have no problem whatsoever with blacks saying things they'd excoriate a white person for.

Why?

Because they feel that blacks need to be excused because they have lower intelligence and less impulse control.

They feel blacks need to be handled like children who don't know any better.

I'm beginning to agree.

Cat Scratch Fever is like. Sunday School hymn compared to filthy rap pornography.

Yeah...the same science that shows how you lose cognitive ability the older you get, thereby trashing the lie that with age comes wisdom.

You like to tout how your life experience has made you wise, but scientifically you are actually fucking dumber than you've ever been. But don't worry...you will continue to get dumber and dumber each day until you finally die.

No matter how far my cognitive abilities might decline, I'll still be smarter than you will ever be.

Though I'm damning myself with faint praise here.

Interesting.
Thank you, LV.

However....

I don't like it.
I'll never use it.
I won't accept that it's correct.

Think of me as you will, Dear.

Make and pass policy based in science, not superstition.

The reason Conservative policies always fail is because they're not based in science, they're based in stupidity because Conservatives are stupid people.




Single payer universal health care

Would there be alternatives allowed, like private systems?
Could someone opt out if they wished?
Who would pay for it and how much would it cost?

Free public colleges

Who pays for that? Professors and administrators won't work for free.
How much will that cost?
Do people who will never use this have to pay for people who do?

A Smart Grid

How much will that cost?
Who pays for it?
How long will it take to implement?

Universal, automatic voter registration

What if someone doesn't want to be registered to vote, can they opt out?
How do you ensure someone who isn't eligible to vote doesn't get registered?

End of gerrymandering

Will that include ending voting districts and carve outs on the basis of race, like Black or Hispanic majority districts?

Public campaign financing

So, you want people to pay for politicians to run for office that they oppose? What about ideas someone opposes? Should they be forced to pay for that campaign too?

Expanded Supreme Court with term limits

How many Justices does this "expanded" court have? Is it enough to ensure that only your political views are the ones that are affirmed? Term limits are probably a good idea however--for all politicians.

Amnesty for immigrants & refugees

Does that include criminals? How about the sickly and mentally ill? Why should we want to reward criminal activity?

Amnesty for those who kill Nazis or Klansmen

But not for those that kill say Antifa, or Nation of Islam haters I suppose...

Gun control

You mean gun confiscation don't you?

Government spending according to what revenue you contribute, rather than what you take (This means no more relying on the Blue states and cities for welfare).

So, a low population state with lots of public (government) land and general operations but few on welfare or other handouts, gets screwed because it happens to have low population. How generous of you.

Expand NATO

Why? Why should the US be the world's policeman?

Ending charter schools

How about home schooling? Private schools? Religious schools? Should they be quashed too?

Abortion rights

Define that. Would there be any limits? Who pays?

Tax increases

On whom? By how much?

Lower Deficits and paying off the debt

What programs does government cut to do this, if any? Or are you just going to keep raising taxes?

Conservatives most cherish the one freedom to which humans are not entitled--freedom from social responsibility.

Evolution made homo sapiens a social species, not lone hunters.

Meeting social requirements--like paying sufficient taxes, for example--is not voluntary in civilization.

Americans have become accustomed to being socially regressive compared to more modern nations,
but the republic will not endure unless that's corrected.

You mean forced altruism. Social responsibility only goes to personal responsibility. No one should be mandatorily required or forced to pay or do anything for someone else just because that other person exists.

Evolution made homo sapiens a social species, not lone hunters.

It didn't make humans altruistic by nature.

Meeting social requirements--like paying sufficient taxes, for example--is not voluntary in civilization.

But remaining in some society is voluntary too. One can always go somewhere else if they don't want to pay the dues of the society they are in.

Americans have become accustomed to being socially regressive compared to more modern nations,
but the republic will not endure unless that's corrected.

Wrong. Americans have been accustomed to individual responsibility for one's actions and not expectant that the government will take care of them cradle to grave. You are arguing for the opposite. The republic cannot endure becoming a socialist welfare state, something it was never meant to be.
