Never said it was, but you do know that the government well before that point had tarriffs and subsidies in place to help US farmers and businesses, don’t you? Or do you think that those things didn’t exist until FDR took office?
Actually, socialism’s banner day is May 1st which isn’t celebrated in the US, in case you hadn’t noticed.
Well, let me see, if my choice is between more government control of my life and the “joys” of eating potentially tainted food imported from China, I think I speak for 99% of all Americans when I say, “Yes, I am arguing for more government control.”
You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you seem to think it means.
As in “not specific” or “not limited to.”
As opposed to unelected employees of healthcare corporations who’re more interested in the bottom line than they are anything else? Then yes, yes, I am. If you can offer me an alternative to either of those two choices, I’ll certainly consider it.
Again, you keep using that word when you seem to have no idea what it means.
And allow me to quote what one of the Founding Fathers once said, “We believe that all men are created equal and that they are endowed by their Creator with certain inalienable rights.” That was written by Thomas Jefferson, and you don’t get any closer to the founding of this nation without swinging nut-to-nut in George Washington’s ballsack. You notice that he didn’t say, “We believe that all men born within the geographical region commonly referred to the colonies of America are created equal and that which we are about to ennumerate applies only to them.” He said “all men,” and he also said, “are endowed by their Creator,” therefore, if we truly believe that, then we should follow the laws laid out by this nation under all circumstances, because if our laws are in line with those of our Creator, then to have one set of laws for us and another set of laws for those we don’t consider to be us, goes against everything this nation was founded upon.
And how is wanting to ensure that the people we elect to the most powerful offices in the land are honest a “leftist ideal?”
Does it matter? When has Bush said that he was willing to surrender?
You know, the funny thing is, the White House can’t seem to give a straight answer on that one.
You know who’s leading the push for more environmental laws? Large businesses. Seems that they don’t like the idea of having to deal with a hodge podge of environmental laws that vary from place to place, they think it would be easier to have one central set of laws with which to deal with. Damned commie pinkos.
Let’s see, if my choice is between an environment that’s been made unliveable or government regulations that ensures the air, soil, and water are relatively clean, then yes, yes, I am.
Actually, he’s not. He’s put special interests ahead of the environment, going so far as to have individuals totally unqualified rewrite government reports to conceal the results of scientific studies which would be economically inconvient for certain industries.
You’re a broken record, you know that?
If it means that I never have to worry about aircraft filled with innocent men, women, and children being used as missiles, then yes, yes, I am.
Wrong again. Bush fought the creation of the TSA until the public outcry forced him to back it.
By such logic, so is securing our borders and promoting the national defense.
And if that happened with every volunteer organization, you’d have a point, but it’s not, so you don’t.
Well, if the choice is between a government established organization and a faithbased organization which recieves government money to tackle issues that the faithbased organization will allow it’s bias to dominate it’s methods, even though those methods have been proven to be ineffective in study after study, then I’ll take the government established organization, thank you very much.
No, Bush thinks that it’s fine and dandy to hand out money to religious organizations who teach such fallacies as condoms won’t protect you against HIV. I don’t believe I’ve ever heard any leftist spout such ideas, but then again, I don’t hang around too many leftists, so I’m not an expert.
I’ve yet to see any evidence that you’re capable of thought.
If you don’t like people picking on you, then don’t walk out on to the gun range carrying a target.
