The American Way.

IF you think the people who revolted in France in the laste18th century and in Russia during the early 20th century were REVOLTING AGAINST LIBERTY...

...you are not only stupid, you are probably insane.

Get a grip. You are not forced to be a sheep.

And Francine conveniently, or willingly forgot that the Russian revolution led to more than 80+ years of Soviet oppression. but that's what he and the rest of the Bolsheviks here in the US want.

Well guess the fuck what? What you think does not matter! Truth is we NEED Conservatives to keep you Communists on a chokingly tight leash!

LOL!

I like how you've just resigned yourself to accepting Conservatism is terrorism.

 

[cawacko]

Why does that matter at all?

"When was the last time you voted for a racist?" is really the question you're asking.

For me, I've never voted Republican. Not once, not ever. And I never will because the GOP is the party of racists, losers, frauds, bigots, and antisemites.

Cypress how can you like this post when you voted for Reagan?

You cited America's wealth inequality as comparable to France and Russia. I didn't bother pointing-out that those were oppressive monarchies, with aristocratic societies, because, I didn't see the need to point-out the obvious.

America is a Western liberal democracy, which means that the culprit in wealth inequality is some quite the opposite of monarchy and aristocracy (again, obviously).

Umm, the Left wrote the book on terrorism, asswad.

Still better than your Communist approach, Bolshevik scumbag. Here's hoping that when Communism takes hold in the US, you suffer the same fate as the Romanoffs did.

I'm not calling for Communism, so this is just a flimsy straw man.

Maybe you forgot just how terrible the economy was after 8 years of your Bush Conservatism.

And let me guess, Democrats are none of those things right?

Hey shit for brains, the economy was doing fine until 2007! And guess who was in charge of Congress then?!?!

Here's hoping that when the real Bolsheviks storm your house, you and your family suffer the same fate as Czar Romanov and his family did.

LOL!

Communism isn't what any of us are calling for, but you are trying to pretend we are because that's how you balance your fascist proclivities.

By equality, I mean being able to walk down the street as a Black person without being murdered by LAW ENFORCEMENT because of the color of skin.

By equality, I mean being afforded the same opportunities as whites.

We are not on the same page with this discussion. It's way deeper than what you describe above. Equality not as in material things, but in equality as a people. You have to look beyond the surface and dig deep into American history to understand where I'm coming from. Racism is deep rooted in this country and it's as bad now as it was 100 years ago. We are still not equal.

What you are doing is injecting a discussion about race into a discussion that the OP presented as being about wealth inequality.

There are some who inject abortion into every discussion; some who inject gun rights into every discussion; some who inject racial problems into every discussion.

None of that moves the subject discussion along.

I agree with you that blacks are not treated as equal to whites in various segments of our Republic...but to be honest, I am proud of how far we have come during the time I've been alive.

I was born in 1936. My formative years were during the 1940's and early 1950's. I have a perspective on this that is perhaps different from yours. But in any case, if you start a thread on THAT TOPIC...I will participate and we will be in substantial agreement on much, I am sure.

IT SHOULD NOT BE HERE THOUGH.

 

[TTQ64]

Exactly.

Racist white Conservatives lynched black people for hundreds of years...so we should return the favor on their Wall Street lords.

I'd settle for them going to prison for their crimes.....including Bush for his war crimes.

I'd settle for law enforcement officers and (those who cover up for them), who murder unarmed citizens going to prison.

Those countries aren't socialist. They are progressive, meaning they are leaning away from liberalism, but none have yet abandoned liberalism for socialism.

LOL! Exactly. They're not socialist...they're democratic socialists. Which is what we are calling for here.

And no, liberals and progressives are two sides of the same coin.

The difference between the two is that liberals think you can hug Nazis, but progressives know you can't.

Everyone makes mistakes. I'm willing to forgive those mistakes if I truly believe the sincerity. In your case, I would never believe the sincerity because I find you to be wholly insincere and disingenuous.

Sure it is. High confiscatory taxation, soak the rich, state ownership of the entire private sector, QUASHING POLITICAL OPPOSITION. Yeah, Liberalism at its finest.

 

[LV426]

Umm, the Left wrote the book on terrorism, asswad.

Yet Conservatives are the ones employing it.

Potato-poTAHto. Socialism with a fancy wrap is still socialism. And evil

Liberetards forced us to fight dirty.

If those countries were socialist (or your made-up word), there wouldn't be any liberal markets. Ikea and Volvo would not exist, or else they would become like Stoli.

A progressive is someone who seeks to evolve beyond liberalism. As a result, they are a threat to it, and the fabric of Western civilization as it has existed since about 1700.

Why does everything always have to balance for you? What is the psychology behind that? Why do you feel the need to do that? What is driving you to that? Do you think that everything in the world has an equal and opposite antecedent? Sounds to me like you're too lazy to make distinctions, or you're so consumed with how people perceive you, that you're willing to sacrifice your judgment for the sake of posturing.
