Fox News Host Says She Wants Putin To Be Our Leader To Get Things ‘Done Right’ (Video

Re: Fox News Host Says She Wants Putin To Be Our Leader To Get Things ‘Done Right’ (V

That's because the linear political chart is rather insufficient for pinpointing political beliefs. It works for the controlled opposition going on in mainstream politics, but anything that doesn't fit in the two party paradigm is viewed as indecisive on a linear scale.

Here's my preference when it comes to political charts:

Murray Rothbard. Now there's a name I haven't seen in a while.

Murray Rothbard. Now there's a name I haven't seen in a while.

Is that a good thing or a bad thing? :2razz:
 
Re: Fox News Host Says She Wants Putin To Be Our Leader To Get Things ‘Done Right’ (V

Is there any question that Putin is a decisive leader? This isn't to say that anybody likes, much less admires, what he's doing. I don't know anybody who admires Putin...he's ex-KGB and cravenly, despicably ambitious. But that doesn't mean he's not decisive. He is.

I think the key point here is not being decisive but making the correct decision. With the advantage of being a Monday morning quarterback our government have made terrible decisions in the past .
It is like playing chess, you must be thinking 3-4 moves down the line. Too often our political leaders our check players and only do kneejerk reactions.

But finding anything positive in Putin's character to wish for his pure nonsense. His country will always be in danger of home born terrorist acts.

On another side, I think it is poetic justice that this little tough man only grew to 5'5''.
 
Re: Fox News Host Says She Wants Putin To Be Our Leader To Get Things ‘Done Right’ (V

Haven't taken the test in a few years, so I just did.

Your political compass: Economic Left/Right: 1.50
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -3.23

First graph shows me just barely in the purple right/Libertarian quadrant, but there are no leaders with whom I allegedly identify in the second graph's purple quadrant. None. Instead, I'm all over the other quadrants--Hugo Chavez, Nelson Mandela, the Pope, Angela Merkel, David Cameron, Romney and Obama.

So I don't know what all this means!

You're willfully misinterpreting what others have said. Is there any question that Putin is a decisive leader? This isn't to say that anybody likes, much less admires, what he's doing. I don't know anybody who admires Putin...he's ex-KGB and cravenly, despicably ambitious. But that doesn't mean he's not decisive. He is.

You and others really are embarrassing yourselves on this thread with all the Putin-loving stuff. Oh, and deliberately misinterpreting what Guilfoyle said and intended. Keep beating this little molehill, though, because it represents the second-hand paucity of your ideas.

I know what I read. You folks on the Right love you some Putin. Given a choice between Obama and Putin, you'd take Vlad every time. A little late to be saying 'yeah, but that's not really what she (or I) meant. You've made your bed. Lie in it.
 
Re: Fox News Host Says She Wants Putin To Be Our Leader To Get Things ‘Done Right’ (V

Apparently every Libertarian is part of the "Far Right".

Oh, you give lip service to some non-Far Right positions, but when push comes to shove you toe the right wing line on the big things. Your Libertarian knight in shining armor even identifies himself as a Republican.

You're a funny man. You maybe are so incapable of making decisions on your own without the Democratic party telling you what you should think that you simply have no idea that people actually think what they want to think, not because they are "toeing a line" fed to them. I feel bad for you.

Lip service to some non-Far Right positions. Cute! I like it. You think most of us don't have opinions. Wiggen, you need to open your eyes a bit. Not everyone is a head bobber and bobs when a political party says "Bob!". It's really interesting when you think for yourself. See, that's what most of us learn to do as adults. We look at facts, weigh all the data, and then say "Hey, this is what I think of this issue." Isn't that neat?

I didn't know I had a Knight in Shining Armor. How cool is that? What's his name? I always thought those men were reserved for medieval romance novels, bodice rippers and the like. Does he ride a white horse?

Oh come now. You're being too cute. You know that Rand Paul - just like his loony daddy before him - sets your Libertarian pulse just a-poundin'!

Your explanation of how you arrive at positions on issues is amusing. Coincidentally it follows the right wing position on almost every issue. Your unthinking support of cops, no matter what they do, your unflinching criticism of Obama, your belief - core to Libertarians everywhere - that govenrment has no role to play in making the lives of citizens better, etc. etc.

Yeah, that sounds like independent thinking to me! But hey, if you want to continue to pretend otherwise, knock yourself out.

Rand Paul isn't a Libertarian. Good grief...pay attention.

So wait....not hating on cops is now a "Far Right" position. That's news to me. I didn't realize that you have to hate cops and assume they're all bad in order to be not Far-Right. Hey thanks for clarifying that! Did you get that from Al Sharpton or someone else? Funny, I didn't know I support cops no matter what they do. That explains why I was actively emailing and writing my governor to make sure that Manchester PD Sargeant Stephen CoCo was punished when others wanted to see him let off. Wow, I guess I was supposed to check in with the Far-Right wingers for their direction before I went off half-cocked going against them. Next time I'll make sure I know the marching orders in advance.

Yes yes, I know, Wiggen. If you don't adore Obama, you're a Far-Right nut. I already knew what you think. Why say it again, and remind me that you are here to say "Obama is just so great!" no matter what he does?
 
Re: Fox News Host Says She Wants Putin To Be Our Leader To Get Things ‘Done Right’ (V

Rand Paul isn't a Libertarian? What planet do you live on? On this one, he's a Libertarian.

You certainly don't hate cops. In fact, you love them. The Ferguson thread showed that.

I have no idea what you are talking about with your emails to the Governor.

I have been critical of Obama's naïve approach to foreign policy and also to the fact that he actually thought Republicans would work with him when he got elected. I do criticize my own party and our approach to military and foreign policy issues - something you would know if you ever ventured into one of the international forums. But those apparently are off-limits to you.

You're supposed to quote my post when you want my attention.

Rand Paul isn't a Libertarian? What planet do you live on? On this one, he's a Libertarian. Ask any Libertarian about that.

You certainly don't hate cops. In fact, you love them. The Ferguson thread showed that. Oh I see now. Because I respect the Constitution and have said repeatedly "I have no idea what happened and I'm going to wait until the facts come out at trial to say who was right and who was wrong, and I won't declare Wilson a murderer because he's innocent until proven guilty" means I love cops. Ahhhh of course.

I have no idea what you are talking about with your emails to the Governor. Well, that's interesting considering I've posted about that more than once, and given your declaration about me being on the "Far Right" because of all my stances, silly me, I assumed that meant you read all of my posts and my opinions to make such a statement. Thanks for confirming you haven't, so you have no idea what you're talking about.

But those apparently are off-limits to you. Well how cool! You found something you can criticize Obama for. Neat! No, I never go into the International, Religion and ME forums because I'm not interested in them. I didn't know that was against the rules of DP. Is it?
 
Re: Fox News Host Says She Wants Putin To Be Our Leader To Get Things ‘Done Right’ (V

What is he?

A big-government Republican. He has conservative social views (anti-abortion, anti-SSM, both not Libertarian views), and also, unlike his father, has no problem going to war.

Well apparently some on the right want Putin now. Why? Beats me.... Nothing like have an authoritarian, homophobic, leader as someone you "want".

I believe the point that she was making is that President Obama is one sorry, sorry excuse for an executive government officer.

Since you say you are uninterested in what goes on in the rest of the world, I find I am no longer interested in you. Have a nice life.

No, the point she was making is that she likes her some Vlad Putin! As do many of you folks on the Far Right.

Nope, definitely on the theme of "Obama is so bad that X would be better." And you could put anyone from Jimmy Carter to Stalin in place of X.

Plenty of left wingers are so fed up with what they see as dysfunctional government that they have come to admire the Chinese Communist government's methods. Thomas Friedman comes to mind. They forget, as do some conservatives, that the federal government wasn't intended to do much or to be all things to all people. They forget that a government frozen with the separate branches at loggerheads is what was intended to be the case most of the time.

Aah, deflection! We're uncomfortable with having one of our own fawn over Putin and get her panties wet over the thought of him as our leader, so lets accuse the liberals of being Chinese Communists! Fairly weak.
 
Re: Fox News Host Says She Wants Putin To Be Our Leader To Get Things ‘Done Right’ (V

Link works for me...

But I have to ask, what would Putin do about ISIS? Nada. The US foreign policy blunders from 2001 forward created ISIS, specifically the disbanding of the Iraqi armed forces. If you want to compare Putin to Obama let's look at the Ukraine. Putin has done a huge show of force. He backed a numbnuts who shot down an airliner. And now is sitting around and hopeful the separatists don't do anything stupid. Putin just called for a humanitarian corridor for surrounding Ukrainian forces.

Obama in contrast has been very slow to respond to ISIS because the US population does not want a foreign war. The Far Right does not understand that. Now thar ISIS is going around beheading people Obama is slowly putting forces into play to combat ISIS.

Had ISIS just taken over the country and not acted like animals the US would not have gotten involved. ISIS however has the worldview of extermination of anyone who doesn't think like them. A wholesale conflict with them may be inevitable, but the US doesn't have to go looking for one just to flex military might and spend tax dollars it doesn't have.

Russia has no love of Militant Islamists....and a track record of dealing with them much more harshly than we have. Nor does Putin have any fear of looking the "big meanie" on the world stage.

If you have to explain someone else's points...that person didn't do a very good job in the first place.

She is exactly like Dr. Ben Carson. Dr. Carson is horrible at making lucid analogies...to which he has to come back a redefine his comments.
