From this thread:
I was going to address Lib’s comments in that GD thread, but soon realized that I could not do so without making a personal attack. Thus this rant.
You could say that, but you’d be wrong. Very very wrong.
I honestly started this thread to fight my own ignorance. If you could be arsed to reread the OP, you’d see that I was asking an honest question. I was then pressed to give my own opinion, even though I had not truly formed one yet. So I did, based on the little information that I had. The philosophy of Lib’ism seemed to me at the time, as it does now, to not make much sense. That is my honest opinion, which I was asked for.
Suddenly I’m here to incite? To rant? Where the hell have I ranted? (OK, now, but where before this?) What in the holy name of fuck are you talking about with tail feathers?
Lib, this may come as a shock to you, but just because someone doesn’t fall to your feet and agree with you does not mean that person is ranting, nor does it mean that that person is incapable of thinking for himself. Surprise of surprises, “Thinking for yourself” is not synonymous with “Sucking Lib’s dick.”
You might want to review the purpose of this board. The purpose is to fight ignorance. You have used it primarily to judge others and to advance your own political agenda. And now, when I ask some honest questions about your political philosophy, you accuse me of inciting something?
While before I may have felt that Lib’ism may have had some merit, you give me the impression that one must not question it. This is a very poor advertisement of your so-called freedom of thought.
You’ve accused me of not being able to think for myself. I’d like to see a cite on that, you crazy fucknut.
Also, in your cite on charitable contributions made by Lib’ians, I have noted that “Although not all of these would describe themselves as libertarian, they are sufficiently pure in their mission to merit listing.” In other words, Lib’ians don’t have enough examples of charity from their own ranks, so they must co-opt others. And even then, the examples given are charities for drugs and guns. Conspicuous in their absences are words like “food bank” and “homeless shelter.”
In short, Lib’ism may have its merits. I’m still trying to figure it out. But if you are representative of the movement, one must conclude that Libs are insane, judgemental, assholes.
I trust that you are not representative of the movement.
Oh, and one more thing: Please change your user name back to the movement you claim to represent. You do all liberals a disservice with your present name.
