THIS is your idea of whacko left ? Another example of how you live in some right wing bubble somewhere.
No, it’s not. Given that we killed off Iraq’s secular leader and let the religious fanatics loose, it’s more like a war FOR jihadism.
No, you’re just another right wing meat puppet, not human enough to have any actual opinions of your own. You believe what you are told to believe, because you are just that stupid.
As a person whose fiscal conservatism likely dwarfs your own, I think you’re an idiot. You’re a troll, to be sure, but a stupid one. You don’t even have the good sense to make your button-pushing seem plausible. At least the people bashing Cheney for something he didn’t say have bothered to connect their dots, albeit with a Gordian Knot.
If you don’t mind, we like our trolls to be, at the very least, entertaining. Say something witty, or get the hell out.
I’m pretty sure liberals are supposed to be capitalist as well, considering that all nations you could call “liberal” are capitalist. And I did believe that some amount of good ol’ fashioned manners was part of the stereotypical view of conservatives. But hey, your stereotypes seem right apart from that.
I’m not here to defend Trotsky, but this statement of yours amused me, Jim. You make it sound as though lefties do not have to back up their posts with facts and cites in order to be “tolerated” on the board. I know you didn’t mean to, but you reinforced what a lot of conservatives on this board believe, which is that the prevailing opinions give those on the left more slack in terms of backing up those opinions. Strength in numbers, as it were.
Just as an aside, you do know that North Korea is not “islamic”? The way you phrased your post made it seem as though it was included in your “death to islamics” idea.
I note you didn’t address my points on liberalism and capitalism. But hey, why should you be asked to actually back up your statements? That would be heresy.
No, no. I’m saying the majority, the vast majority of liberals are capitalists. And i’m saying that the fact that all nations that can be considered liberal are capitalist can be used to back that up. Prove me wrong, or accept it.
Is it more trollery? Is it proof of idiocy? Is it disconnection? Is it a whoosh?
Oh well. I’ll give you the benefit of the doubt. No, North Korea isn’t “islamic”. It has a cult of personality based around it’s leader, and in addition some of the religions generally practised around that area of the world (such as the various Chinese folk religions), although generally they are not treated well. Regardless, the Muslim population of NK is very small.
No. There are an estimated ten thousand (max) Muslims in North Korea out of a population of nearly 23 million, which is an extremely small percentage. The more-or-less official religion of North Korea is the “great leader” cult of the late Kim Il-sung and his son Kim Jong-il. There are also several million Buddhists and Christians.
Dear Og. Are we really arguing with somebody who doesn’t even know that N. Korea is not an Islamic country?
You know what, sometimes, I am not sure those on the left are held to the same standard of supporting what they post. I think I am saying this as a fairly moderate political poster that gets called a lefty more often than not.
I think it is the nature of the board leaning to the left.
You guys apparently need a (quoting cecil now) loud gong, firecracker, or air raid siren for sarcasm. I thought the ?? and smily about NK being islamic would do it.
