Both of the parties should die.

Some moron named Hroark or something recently made a topic in the great debates about the death of liberalism. I laughed to myself as not too long ago I was hearing about the death of conservatism from the same kind of mental defectives only with opposite bias.

The constant squabbling between these two camps proves nothing beyond the fact that this civilization of ours is nothing but a sadistic joke. Its a sham, a fraud. Man is still tribal and primitive and trading in dried chicken bones and loin cloths for business suits and computers doesn’t change a damn thing.

Why should any right minded person want to join one of these cults? How are the political parties any different from the religious wackos around the world believing that they’ll be raptured into a dimension of pure bliss and happiness because they drank some blood, ate some human flesh and cut the tip of their penis off?

Conservatives are shills for the wealthy aristocrats…end of story. It is easily seen by their actions. How can being so stubborn about getting rid of the bush tax cuts be seen as anything else? They claim that its to protect job creators. What jobs? What jobs have these people created? Oh, they must mean all those wonderful garment factories in saipan and taiwan and alot of other asian hellholes. Yes, i take it back. They definitely help the world by coercing the poor of nations abroad into slavery. Oh but if you’re lucky enough to be a young girl, you wont have to work in the factories, you can be a prostitute for the soulless empty suits of all nations that visit to collect their share and make sure the evil tank hasn’t run dry.

They hide behind the facade of being fiscally conservative to try and recruit those with some sliver of intelligence, but rely mainly on the evangelical religious cults to deceive the ignorant into voting directly against their interests, painting themselves as the party of tradition and morality. The conservatives represent the old world, the feudal world where psychotic despots tried to build empires large enough to satisfy their misguided sense of self importance and grandiosity. Sure, we don’t hear much of the “The sun is my mother and the moon is my father” anymore, but is the social darwinism any different? One mask for a delusional egomaniac is as good as another.

And then you have the self proclaimed Liberals. As the conservatives are shills for the wealthy, Liberals are shills for the government. They have decided that they are smarter than everyone else and know what is best for you, and to hell with your desire to make your own decisions! They make their decisions about people as if they were dealing with objects with no will of their own. Example? Liberals see rising levels of obesity in the public which leads to health problems and in turn could cripple the health care industry and drive prices through the roof (which happened already). Their solution means banning/taxing unhealthy food like Governer Patterson of New York’s stupid soda/junk food tax idea. Or that we can solve the energy crisis and save the environment by taxing the earth farther by not only growing for food, but for fuel as well. Nice solution morons.

The Liberal party represents a new world: The “Brave New World” that is. A world were everyone is comfortable and happy and there is no more war or conflict and the government makes sure of that by making all your decisions for you and not allowing any freedom of choice. A life of absolute serenity and peace, and one of crippling stagnation and boredom. Just waiting for the day you’re recycled into soylent green.

Wake up people. Neither of these cults is capable or qualified for leadership. So excuse me if i choose not to participate in this ridiculous sham. No government will ever work and will always collapse because to endure, a government would have to change quickly and dramatically to adapt to the times. But governments never adapt because they are run by men with power and any change to the status quo is perceived as a threat to their power and is quickly squashed. and their brainwashed followers will follow suit because they fear change even more. Forever guaranteeing the endless feud. between the greedy and the ignorant.

The greatest weakness of our species is our false, illogical, and childish desire for security and stability. In essence, we tend to behave like children groping for parental figures to run our lives because we are scared to do it ourselves. The real problem is that most people, simply never grow up. They either become the mean spirited little bully that steals everyone’s toys, or the bossy babysitter who never lets you do anything fun.

Growing up isn’t biological and it isn’t taking a job working for the corporate masters. Those are simple survival. You need food and shelter, so you work for money to buy those things. Growing up is a state of mind that comes naturally when one casts aside all the myths and delusions of childhood and accepts reality for what it is, what you see, what you hear,touch,taste and smell, and not what you want it to be. And sure as hell not what some other person wants you to believe.

The reason why religion and politics stir up similar childish temper tantrums in people is because they are childish ideas in and of themselves.

I’m confused here. Am I doomed or is there hope?

As a liberal Democrat, I promise to renounce my ideology and jump off the Brooklyn Bridge if all the Republicans will do the same.

But they have to go first.

  • gets in line behind Fear Itself *

Go ahead, folks. After you.

So, you’re an anarchist?

I guess we’re doomed.

Doom doom doom…doom doom doomed.

America! Fucked, yeah!

The question boils down to “Who’s going to fuck you? The rich and corporate interests, or the government?”

Eva Longoria and Nicole Kidman are both rich, so I’m hoping them. . .

Plus, liberal chicks are easy, and understand birth control.

Trashing the political process serves the needs of the moneyed elites.

Congratulations, Commacdon, you’ve been co-opted!

congrats on missing the point. the moneyed elites ARE the political process you fool. Same kind of people different ideologies. You act as though one of those factions is on your side… they’re not. I think it is you who has been co-opted.

@Giles: Whatever, Call me whatever you like. I’ve heard it all.

I don’t see anymore worthwhile posts to respond to.

OK, way to caricature the Left, OP. Some people in each party may resemble the caricatures you describe. But not all GOP are crypto-slavers (though I agree that the leadership are looking that way now). And certainly not all Dems are utopian statists. You’re coming off like a cranky libertarian here.

I’ll give you this one for free: This isn’t worthwhile responding to either. So please don’t trouble yourself.

Come on now, Cammacdon would never make broad sweeping generalizations. He knows better - SEE?!
:rolleyes:

Hey, this is me. I’ve spent the last month or so in “cranky anti-republican monarchist” mode, & I used to be an anarchist. I can understand where the OP is coming from.

I support a ruling elite executive council of benevolent dictators for life. However, if a given dictator displeases the populace, he can be removed by voting to feed him to the lions.

The only fucking things more obnoxious than American Liberals or Republicans are sanctimonious shits who think they’re intellectually superior to both.

Is there any other kind?

Am I confused? I’m probably confused. Wasn’t that sarcasm? Or is your sarcasm sarcasm? PLEASE GOD SOMEONE TELL ME SOMEONE IS BEING SARCASTIC! pant pant

Nice pair of pants you’ve got there, jsgoddess.

I never implied superiority, intellectual or otherwise. You pulled that assumption out of your ass. I stated facts, I’ve seen it proven over and over all my life. If you have a problem with reality i don’t know how to help you.

No one wants to discuss anything in a mature way. They just want to scream and cry and mock and joke. Reinforcing my belief that just about every person i meet in this ridiculous world never aged mentally past twelve.

The funny thing is Zoid and Rachel, is that i don’t care nearly as much as you do. I merely state what i know to be fact. You don’t read it in books, and you don’t see it on television, But you can see it plenty merely through observation if you’re willing. I see the transparent greed of the aristocrats and the power mongering nanny mentality of the governments. I express those opinions and you want to attack me personally because you either don’t possess the ability to tell me why I am wrong, Or As i believe you don’t really care and are just looking for an excuse to belittle someone for god knows what reason.

I like seeing this though reminds me that I’m still sane. Because If I wasn’t i might start believing in people. And that is crazier than anything.

Please I enjoy this i encourage zoid, rachel and anyone else to send me a PM and tell me how ridiculous I am. Its good reading.
