What else is as bad as Marxism-Leninism? We’ve already covered liberals and people who post on this message board. What about moderates? Keynesians? Vegetarians? People who don’t speak English? Pizza with anchovies on it? Bad smells in the men’s room? Please continue the list. I’m anxious to learn.
Well, maybe I’ll pay to join here, then can I be more respected?
No. I paid, and I still get shit on.
Sorry, that ship has sailed.
You really have no idea what “liberal” means, do you? Seriously, I would love to hear your definition.
Liberal is relative. Then again, why get into a real discussion when I’m just gonna get trashed by the extremist left that runs this place?
Trotsky,
There are plenty of conservatives on this board. The reason you assume you’re surrounded by liberals is because this is a place where the large majority of people post rational thoughts and are open to discussion. I can see how that would confuse you, but I’ll forgive you the mistake.
That being said, go fuck yourself. You dare to tell me in that flag thread I hate America? Yeah, that’s why I joined the army and did my time, because I hate America.
And for the record, I don’t think telling someone to fuck themself is half as insulting as questioning their patriotism, which you’ve been doing since you registered here. So don’t even begin to reply by accusing me of being non-accepting or overly rude to you. I actually value my patriotism enough that I’m offended by someone asshole like you questioning it.
Go ahead. If the board has to put up with you, they should at least have the solace of having got fifteen bucks out of you.
A grand majority of the liberal posters on the Dope are not local, but are from the Democratic Underground. They stop off at Daily Kos to get their login IDs and the Saudis fund their registration fees.
There are very few actual liberal Dopers involved in the fight against conservativism.
Cite.
When outright communists push class warfare stuff like Der Trihs does… And I mean, really really communist, as in Lenin himself would blush…
What can you expect? And GD topics of ‘how can I hate Bush the most’ and ‘How can I hand the flag with the least respect to show I hate Bush and America’ (very minor exageration used here)…
I mean, this place comes off as kook central.
I disagree. Socialism suggests a general control of resources by the entire community; the people are the ones with the power and there is a goal of equality. Nazi policy, on the other hand, was for a general control of resources by the state and government, and for Nationalisation of companies, as well as the general view that a certain segment of the population were superior. The treatment of Jews and of minorities pretty clearly shows their uncaring nature in terms of social welfare. As far as “central planning” goes, conservatism demands *small * government, not just singular government. And to the contrary, the Nazi government was considerably bogged down in bureacracy.
And, as I have pointed out through my earlier cites, liberalism is actually highly linked with capitalism.
From your reactions in this thread and others, you don’t appear to care to get into involved in debates full stop.
Stolichnaya, hmmm? That’s a Russian drink, isn’t it?
But it was invented by Al Gore, a known liberal. I wouldn’t trust it.
Wait until something like this happens:
You: The sky is blue.
Screecher/Doper #1: Cite?
Screecher/Doper #2: Cite?
You: Do I really need a citation for that statement?
Screecher/Doper #1: AHHH!!! You can’t back up your facts! You are a stupid racist asshole!!
Screecher/Doper #2: #1, I couldn’t have said it better myself. This guy is a first-class dickhead! Mods, ban him!!!
Screecher/Doper #3: Ban him!
Hey Larry! Look over there!

Sigh… you still fall for that socialist ideal stuff. I don’t get it. Haven’t you read marx, engels, and lenin? Don’t you understand the basis for it?
This stuff is not about fairness. It’s about creating a new utopia. An unneeded one, since the free market does everything that is needed except for the disabled. The truly disabled need help, and so do people between jobs. No need to go bankrupt if you’re laid off and can’t find something for 6 months.
If we’d stick that, which now I guess is economically libertarian, we’d be a lot better off.
You’re really out of touch with mainstream America. Bush is the most disliked American President in a generation.
Lot like freerepublic and a lot of other kooky forums… Sigh…
And the democrat congress is hated more.
People are just pissed. I’m not sure why though. Unemployment is historically low, the stock market is at records (but you don’t see that in the media)…
However, I’ll admit Bush pisses me off a lot with the amnesty stuff.
Where did I say I think that socialism is good? I haven’t “fallen” for anything.
Note, please, that your own definition of socialism doesn’t match Nazi policy either. So sigh right back at you, mon ami, since you’ve replied to my every argument with an attempted tangent rather than address my points. Liberalism is more linked with capitalism than conservatism. Liberals are more likely to support capitalism than conservatives. I’ve provided cites. I’ve provided argument. Prove me wrong, or withdraw your point, please.
