I think, cyclops, that there is socialism and then there is socialism, there are degrees of it, and Marxism strikes me a rather severe form of it, and that has been the major thrust of what my questions were trying to pry out of you.


I do not believe that you possess the capability to understand 'differing' forms of socialism. It's all the same to you - just something else you can use to attack the messenger, when you can't attack the action.

Quote:
I am using a process of trying to get you and other liberals to think logically about what you believe and why, and to be honest about it with other people, such as here on this forum.


Snort. The idea that anyone needs lessons from you, who believes that associations and smears are proof of duplicity on the president's part, in how to 'think logically about what they believe,' is a joke. Your anti-Obama attitude isn't born of logic but fear. You ought to take a dose of your own medicine.

I know that you would respond by saying 'well, associations are important, the guy is lying..' those are just bullshit reasons you've come up with to try and explain your inner fear of the guy. It's quite transparent.

This is boring, I don't mind having a discussion about whatever you like, but it needs to be at least somewhat more interesting than this... as predicted, you have been unable to point to ANYTHING that Obama has done which remotely resembles socialism. It really throws a wrench in your attempts to describe him as a Socialist, and certainly as a Radical or Extreme socialist.

@Cycloptichorn,
I keep learning valuable things from you, cyclops. Here is a short list.

You believe animals should have the same rights as humans.
Assuming a Marxist is president, it would cause you absolutely no concern whatsoever, that being a 0 on a scale of 0 to 10, with zero being no concern. This tells me you are apparently a Marxist.

Also, you think associations mean nothing. So apparently if a person maintains close friendships with criminals, it means absolutely nothing about the character of that person.

Keep talking, cyclops, I can't say that it brings anybody any comfort to hear what you believe, but it does serve to inform all of us here what an avowed liberal or ultra-leftist actually believes here. It is highly instructive, and could even serve as a wakeup call to some of your fellow liberals, if they have any wisdom at all, and care about saving our country from those that are seeking to change it into something unrecognizable to anything that it has ever been.

I have never once said that they should enjoy 'equal rights.' I have said that it is only human arrogance which presumes that we enjoy more natural rights then they do, or are in some way divinely special.

Please make an attempt to represent my arguments with at least some modicum of accuracy in the future, or I shall start to assume that you are intentionally being a liar.

This tells me that you don't understand what your own questions are asking. Being unconcerned with the economic orientation of a president doesn't makes someone themselves the same as that person.

This is pretty much true. Once you get into politics, you are forced to associate with all sorts of nefarious characters from time to time. That's the reality of life, Okie.

My fellow Liberals agree with me on 90% of what I espouse, and the one thing I am POSITIVE they agree with is that you, Okie, and your mindset have driven this country into the gutter. You believe in Greed as an overwhelming principle and so do the rest of your business-first Republican allies. You don't give a **** if we kill people to get what we want, or torture, or eavesdrop on private communications. Being an 'American' to you, means living or dying on your own and not giving a **** if anyone else does. It means paying the lowest taxes possible and to hell with the consequences. It means demonizing people who have different opinions or religions than you. It means comparing your opponents to Hitler constantly.

In short, don't ever ******* lecture me again on 'saving' our country. It is your bunch who have worked as hard as possible to ruin it, all in the name of Greed and Fear. **** that ****. You live in an alternate reality, Okie, removed from any need for consistency or history. It's truly amazing having conversations with you sometime.

Obama and the Dems are taking a lot of heat right now for having to clean up situations which YOUR mindset caused. Unlike Bush ever did, he has owned up to this and takes the heat. You are really enjoying this opportunity you have been given to attack attack attack all the time, every single thing they do; but why don't yourself and all of us a favor and give it a ******* rest with the high horse you apparently think you are sitting on.

What a great example of being illogical, cyclops. If it is only arrogance that gives us more rights, then we should not have them, should we? Unless you think might makes right? That puts you in company with some of the great despots in history, I hope you know that?

I know exactly what I am asking. The so-called "economic orientation" you speak of is capitalism vs marxism, no small issue, good grief, cyclops, the longer you try to explain yourself, the bigger hole you dig for yourself. I am beginning to wonder if you really have any reasoning power at all?

I guess that seals it folks, as to your opinion, cyclops, that is really pretty unbelievable that someone, anyone, can argue that belief and pretend to be credible.

Greed is the power hungry politicians that want to take our freedom and liberty away, and I hope you are aware that we will not go down without a fight. We do not intend on being sent to the gulags either.

@okie,
By the way, cyclops, I have spent alot of time debating you, but I am going to have to rethink it. A reasonable person cannot reason with crazies, such as Marxists and people that think might makes right, in fact I think you and those people that think like you are actually downright dangerous to this country. The only debating I can do that will do any good is to register my opinion with a vote against your whacko and radical candidates, and to try to fight the corruption, such as groups like ACORN, and all the other subversive groups out there. I wish you personal happiness, but you, my friend, are a very misguided individual. You can have all the liberty and freedom to live your life as you wish, but you have no right to push policitians that want to ram your unconsitutional and lousy politics onto the rest of us. Is that clear?

One last comment, thanks for being honest. I wish all of the leftists were as honest as you are. And that includes Obama. Too bad he is not open and to be trusted. If he were as honest as you, he would not have gotten 30% of the vote.

Why don't you and the rest of you Marxists move to another country?

I am neither a Marxist nor someone who thinks that Might makes Right. You are very, very poor at understanding other people's arguments. You just substitute whatever you want to hear in place of what they are actually saying.

The fact that you don't know the difference between Natural rights and other forms of Rights makes me question your education, Okie. The fact that you can't see any difference in my opinions and those of a Marxist makes me question your judgment. The fact that you gloss over any data or logic which is counter to your arguments makes me question why I bother.

ACORN is not a subversive group, and they certainly aren't a corrupt group. They are nothing more than a boogeyman, one which - once again - you've bought into without knowing what you are talking about.

Oh, yes I do. And I will continue to do so, and so will everyone else like me. I have as much right to push for the policies that I like, as you do yours. You call it 'ramming' things upon you; well, if your bunch could win a ******* election and hadn't screwed things up so bad when they were in charge, you wouldn't be in this position. You ought to accept the fact that the reason we are where we are in this country today is due to YOUR mindset and YOUR politician's failure to run the place correctly.

You have offered no substantial rebuttal to any of the points I've raised, you've only attacked me personally for having different views than you, while mis-representing those views and displaying a profound ignorance of simple subjects. When I ask you for evidence, you don't have any; when I ask for logic, you provide none. When I ask for proof, you blame the media for the lack of it. What else is there for me to say?

You are a very paranoid individual, Okie. I would recommend that you speak with a psychologist, to discuss some of these issues which drive you so.

Well, this is interesting.
What is the Obama DoJ hiding?

http://washingtontimes.com/news/2009/dec/16/justice-restrains-lawyers-in-panther-inquiry/

Quote:
The Justice Department has told the federal attorneys who filed a civil complaint against the New Black Panther Party for disrupting a Philadelphia polling place last year not to cooperate with an investigation of the incident by the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights.


Why ?
Didnt the dems raise hell when the Bush admin refused to cooperate?

Quote:
Joseph H. Hunt, director of the Justice Department's Federal Programs Branch, ordered the lawyers' silence in a letter to the attorney for J. Christian Adams, the lead attorney for the department in the New Black Panther case. The letter said "well-established" and "lawful" Justice Department guidelines prohibited Mr. Adams' cooperation in the commission probe.


Didnt those same "guidelines" prevent the DoJ under Bush from cooperating then?

Cycloptichorn

Sorry, but that does not fly. Again, we need to go back to basic logic wherein you walked through the exercises of answering basic questions, and that is the conclusion reached, that you are in fact a Marxist, pretty much inescapable conclusion reached by your answers. Unless you just cannot grasp simple logic, which I suppose is a possibility. The might makes right conclusion is also a conclusion reached by some of your answers. Again, maybe you just did not use reason with your answers?

And your claim that ACORN is not corrupt, that is really another tipoff to your basic lack of just being out to the loop in terms of recognizing the facts of what is going on.

Sure it does. I just told you what I am, and it's no 'marxist.' What more do you need? Are you just looking to call people names?

Quote:

Poorly constructed questions which didn't mean what you think they did.

Quote:

This is the conclusion that YOU reached, based on your poor understanding of both your own questions and the answers I provided.

Quote:

The problem lies not with my answers but your half-assed attempt at 'analysis.'

Quote:

You don't have any proof they are corrupt; at all. The recent investigation of them found no corruption at all, and they have been convicted of no crime. This is nothing more then a smear from your side.

If you have evidence of ACORN corruption, present it - or be damned.

@Cycloptichorn,
Hey, okie is right! You answered his questions, and he was able to determine that you're a Marxist. What more proof do you want?

Just because half of the American people will answer the same questions like you, that only means that half of the US population are Marxists. Got that?

Another thought; I think okie needs to get into the polling business, because he's able to determine people's politics by his good questions.
