*Liberal hypocrisy alert*

you plugged in the word you wan ted to discuss instead of answering me honestly huh

Um, no. You asked the question broadly, so I inserted the clarification in my answer.

Cripes. Get a grip, desh. You'd look like a fool if you were in an actual debate, and someone started there answer "Well, we're not a pure democracy..." and you immediately screamed "liar!"
 
She was only 17 years-old when she died. Her father cut out her tongue and burned her alive.

[..]

Yet they have stores all over Saudi Arabia, a country where gays can be executed and where Muslims can kill their own family members if they convert to Christianity, as happened with this 17-year-old in 2008.

What sickening hypocrisy.

Last year, when Indiana passed a religious freedoms bill, ensuring that its citizens would not be forced to violate their consciences and participate in things like gay weddings, Tim Cook, the openly gay CEO of Apple, wrote an op-ed for the Washington Post, stating, “There’s something very dangerous happening in states across the country....”

Does Darth realize the Christian right is capable of same? Obviously not, and if he calls Starbucks hypocrites he better go get a mirror as I'm sure he supports China in his purchases, maybe even Walmart. China has similar policies Darth. Religious extremism is bad news and it does't matter which one. When you possess the truth all things are possible.

"Conservatives are more religious than liberals--although there is no evidence that they're nicer people because of it." Andy Rooney, Common Nonsense

"We are all creatures of our upbringings, our cultures, our times. And I have needed to remind myself, repeatedly, that my mother was born in the 1890s and had an Orthodox upbringing and that in England in the 1950s homosexual behavior was treated not only as a perversion but as a criminal offense. I have to remember, too, that sex is one of those areas — like religion and politics — where otherwise decent and rational people may have intense, irrational feelings." Oliver Sacks

That's a crock.
 
That's what the OP should have been. But she was right about the OP - there is no hypocrisy in terms of what you chose to post.

I think that's called winning the battle but losing the war lol. The OP was wrong in the particular instance cited; but he or she was right in calling out the hypocrisy of Starbucks gagging the gnat while swallowing the Saudi camel?

Pretty much.
 
we are a democracy


Your right wing assholes LIE about it


WHY????????

You're an idiot.....WHY ???

The United States is, indeed, a republic, not a democracy. Accurately defined, a democracy is a form of government in which the people decide policy matters directly--through town hall meetings or by voting on ballot initiatives and referendums.

A democratic republic is, strictly speaking, a country that is both a republic and a democracy. It is one where ultimate authority and power is derived from the citizens, and the government itself is run through elected officials.


Is the United States a republic or a democracy?


Frequently, politicians, and many ordinary Americans, refer to the United States as a democracy. Others find this aggravating because, unlike in a democracy where citizens vote directly on laws, in the United States, elected representatives do – and, therefore, the U.S. is a republic.

WHY????????

Again The US CONSTITUTION GUARANTEES A REPUBLICAN FORM OF GOVERNMENT AT ALL LEVELS (Article 4, Section 4, Clause 1

We are not a social democracy as you are suggesting..i.e., COMMUNISM LITE. Republicanism is as far removed from democracy as the night is from day.

Are you a communist? If not why not? Socialism: A political system advocating state ownership of industry, or: A political system where the economic system is based upon state ownership of capital.

Communism: A FORM OF SOCIALISM WHERE THE STATE ABOLISHES PRIVATE OWNERSHIP or: PROMOTES COLLECTIVISM...i.e. REDISTRIBUTION of private ownership.

When you claim this nation is a democracy you are accepting the dublicity that contends with: acting in bad faith : deception by pretending to entertain one set of attentions while while acting under the influence of another set of values. In layman's terms: A lying ASINSKITE seeking to fundamentally CHANGE the United States of America through duplicate means. Sound familiar?

Why fundamentally change a DEMOCRACY if this nation is a democracy and not a republic why promise to 1. Take charge of the banks, the industries, demand income redistribution? Answer? Anyone that supports such a duplicitous bastard is anything but a person working with the Constitution and a Guaranteed Republican Government....is just as culpable as the communist being endorsed via commission or omission.

Its not rocket science...our founders agreed, DEMOCRACY SUCKS due to the inherent false pretense of offering FREEDOM.
 
I'm going to read this as you being sarcastic. It's the cons in America that are consumed with hate and fear.

I don't see it that way at all. The left sees it that way because they conflate standing on principles against gay marriage or etc as 'hate'. The real haters are on the left.
