No. Only stupid people think that.
Hey, this looks like fun. Can I play too?
Nazis are fascist.
Fascists are conservative.
Therefore, conservatives are Nazis.
No more accurate than your liberal/communist false equivalence, of course.
I’ll admit there’s some truth to this, but the fact is that there is very little impetus among conservatives to strive to create a fascist state, whereas liberals go through life eternally pissed of that, wah, somebody has more than somebody else (or just as bad, in a better class than somebody else) and that government isn’t paying for all their needs, and worst of all, that people are permitted to have opposing views, that liberals are constantly agitating for social change that leads to communism. Thus liberals and the specter of communism are a vastly greater threat. This is illustrated by the fact that fascism has a very limited history while communism became a worldwide phenomenon that murdered or starved up to 70 million people and forced hundreds of millions more to live desolate, fearful lives of privation for decades.
No, most liberals do not “go through life eternally pissed of that, wah, somebody has more than somebody else (or just as bad, in a better class than somebody else) and that government isn’t paying for all their needs, and worst of all, that people are permitted to have opposing views”.
Most American liberals are very much in favor of freedom of speech, vastly prefer the free market to government control to provide most goods and services (while favoring it for a small number of services, like police, fire protection, regulation of food safety, and a few others), and much more that is directly contradictory to your post.
You’re saying inaccurate things about me personally, since I’m a liberal. And most of the liberals I know. Please stop doing this – it’s unkind, discourteous, rude, and untrue.
Sorry for confusing you with someone else.
IIRC, he defended Paterno, along with using the infamous paper-towel-tube suggestion to try and dismiss the statements of McQueary, but he never actually defended Sandusky.
Full of shit as usual, Kirk.
You don’t mind if I call you “Kirk”, do you? Since you are making all these off-topic posts in a thread about Kirk Cameron, it must be because you identify with him rather strongly and would probably be honored to be mistaken for him.
It’s a shame then that we hear from so few of them, as opposed to the agitated squeaky wheels who drive change and serve as the face of liberalism.
Well, while we have crossed swords numerous times and I disagree with you often, my impression is that you’re a good person who nevertheless strives to be an even better one. Unfortunately it’s necessary to talk in generalities when talking about people as a group unless one is to get bogged down in an endless array of disclaimers. Plenty of people here talk about conservatives as if they were all of the same mind.
Correct.
Wow, that is a scary story. However, I prefer the one where conservatives go through life eternally pissed off that, wah, someone is getting something for free that he doesn’t deserve or hasn’t earned, that government is paying too much supporting freeloaders, and worst of all, that people are permitted to have the wrong opposing views that aren’t sufficiently deferential to god, country, the armed forces, and the police. Conservatives are constantly agitating for social change that dehumanizes the “lesser” races and inferior religions, and that leads to fascism. And they all lived happily ever after.
Do you know any stories with dragons? I like dragons.
I think we do – I just honestly think you’re misinterpreting their (our) statements. For example: suggesting that some services, like health care, might be superior with more government involvement isn’t desiring that “government pay for all of their needs”. If so, then we might as well call you a communist for believing that police, fire protection, and the military should be controlled by government! It’s reasonable to debate these kinds of things without extending them to ridiculous hyperbole like communism (or fascism). The same goes for discussing marginal tax rates – it’s reasonable to debate wither 38%, or 36%, or 32%, or whatever, is the best rate for the top tax bracket. That’s not wanting everyone to have exactly the same amount. And most liberals don’t advocate for any government restrictions on political speech. There are some small number that do, and that’s a shame, but that’s also true of some small number of conservatives (usually for blasphemous or obscene speech).
Thank you. I don’t think you need to use generalities, though. Just point to specific statements by liberals that you disagree with – and you’ll never go wrong. I try to call out generalizations of conservatives too, and I’ve done it before on this board.
Back on topic, I see that the original Kirk is attending an anti-gay conference in October, along with Trump, Pence and special guest star Kevin “Just because I played “Hercules” as if he were a male model and ran around with another smaller male model boy-toy, often camping under the stars together, doesn’t mean I played a gay guy, dammit!!” Sorbo.
Sorry, but work beckons. More later if time.
I’ve got not time for Sorbo, but Michael Hurst is a honey.
checks forum
Oh, goody!
Fuck the fuck off already.
Geez, Kirk Cameron and Kevin Sorbo. Two guys who haven’t been relevant since the 90’s. I don’t understand why anyone would pay them any attention let alone bother to pit them.
For the same reason people jump into threads they claim they have no interest in?
So you had to check to make sure you were breaking the rules in the right forum?
:D:D:D
Smooth move, Ace!
That’s not breaking the rules, “Ace”. Your buddy and compatriot Clothahump cleared the way for that particular construction. I can’t directly say “F you” (that’s demonstrative, not performative. I’m not actually telling you to do that.). I can say “F off.” Enjoy!
It’s because no chance to mock a righty around here must ever go wanting. Sort of like those on the other side who made fun of that moron Maxine Waters a few days ago for calling people ‘Breitbart’ and claiming they wanted to kill her on ‘the youtube’.
