Mitch wins!!![W:292]

Re: Mitch wins!!!

Phoney? What are you talking about?

Are you saying that you consider respect for people's rights to be a fat ugly pig?

I am saying that right libertarians throw around terms like RIGHTS and FREEDOM and LIBERTY the way a lounge lizard at the end of the bar 15 minutes before closing uses terms like LOVE directed to the last woman available. And you both have the same purpose in mind. Its flowery talk meaning nothing except as a deceptive tool to seduce the naive and stupid.

Seduce the naive and stupid into thinking that people have a right to run their own lives, provided they act peacefully and honestly. You find that objectionable?
 
Re: Mitch wins!!!

YOu would decrease the size and power of government.

This is where you go wrong.

The size and power of the government would not be decreased. You must have missed that yesterday. Libertarians would not change our government at all. It would remain a constitutional republic. Libertarians just want to repeal stupid progressive nanny laws.
 
Re: Mitch wins!!!

Ah. So...corporation X is dumping tons of hazardous waste into the river - you know, the river that provides drinking water for families downstream. You've gotten rid of most business regulations, so the corporation X can pretty much do what it wants, right? And if you don't like how your drinking water is now dangerous for your children, you and all the other people who need that water can just move, right?

Libertarians hold that people have the right to run their own lives, provided they act peacefully and honestly. Peacefully and honestly. I think you missed that part. Poisoning a river is not peaceful and honest.
 
Re: Mitch wins!!!

In other words, you can't explain the strong correlation, so you use a non sequitur instead. I guess you're writing it off to mere coincidence, that things "just happened to work out that way".

Like I said, don't worry - no other conservative's been able to do so, either, even though I've been asking this question for several years now.

there is a strong correlation that those nations are all run by non-black people. want to run with that?

I have already told you what I find repulsive about libertarianism so why don't you accept that and quite trying to ask the same biasedly worded loaded questions over and over again?

You have no choice that it must remain a constitutional republic so that claim is meaningless.

Because I love hearing progressive nannies admit that they are horrified at the thought of people running their own lives, provided they act peacefully and honestly. :)

It appears that what you love is seeing your own beliefs professing the same thing over and over and over again while getting in silly childish name calling no matter how many times you are schooled otherwise.
 
Re: Mitch wins!!!

Which means that your claim that libertarians will destroy our system of government is bunk. Our system of government will remain a constitutional republic. Well, until the progressive nanny state fascists take over, that is.

Just exposing the progressive nanny state fascist pig behind the lipstick. :)

Actually it does not as there are uncountable variations of what can constitute a constitutional republic. It was back in the Gilded Age also where corporations held sway over government and the common man and that is the nightmare I am working hard to expose and prevent.

You need to do less silly name calling and more reading of our nations history.

If you had to pay a dollar for every silly childish name you call you could pay somebody's monthly rent. Do you think such juvenille tactics help seduce the naive to your cause? Or is it pathological and you really cannot help yourself no matter how many times it is pointed out to you?

I vote for the second.

Nothing scares the **** out of progressive puke statists like a group of people who don't need the government to take care of them.

My comment on the libertarian party and the republican party is part of the discussion here. And your own personal paranoia or delusions or grandeur are not part of that.


YOu would not recognize a straight answer if it knocked you over causing you to lose your Luger in a pile of concentration camp victims.

Sarcasm impaired are you? :doh:shock: Or perhaps it is selective? :roll:


interesting!

Libertarians hold corporations to the same standard as everyone else. They may run their own affairs, provided they act peacefully and honestly. Are you able to identify any libertarian policy proposal that would allow corporations to not act peacefully and honestly?

Actually libertarians hold nobody to anything as you as a group are impotent without any political power. Its all pie-in-the-sky and its a pie that is never baked and never served and never eaten and never judged on its taste so you are free to make any claims about how great it is without fear that you will be disproven.

great scam you folks got going there isn't it? :roll::lamo
 
Re: Mitch wins!!!

Roberts and Alito were the reason why our 2A rights are somewhat intact. If Kerry had been elected we would have lost 5-4

And Roberts is the reason we still have the Obamacare mandate. Bush tried to get his counsel on the bench. Two sides of the same coin.

yeah, you stick by that "peaceful and honest" line...but you're refusing to get into the details of how things would work in real life, how you would go about getting restitution from corporation X, much less how you'd get them to not do it in the first place.
 
Re: Mitch wins!!!

You still haven't defined freedom so the rest of your post is irrelevant.

Really? Okay, guy, you go ahead thinking that life was freer when women couldn't vote and non-whites were all subject to Jim Crow laws. Freedom only counts for white males in your world anyway, right?
 
Re: Mitch wins!!!

there is a strong correlation that those nations are all run by non-black people. want to run with that?

And in the Middle Ages, the world's greatest centers of learning were in the Middle East and in China. Many historians hold that the main reason for the rise of European whites was the power vacuum left by Genghis Khan when he and his descendants took over what is today all of Russia, most of China, and most of the Middle East...and destroyed many centers of great learning along the way.

Y'know, one thing that help you pull your head out of the ass of racist thought is a book called "Guns, Germs, and Steel" by Jared Diamond. It won the Pulitzer Prize. It describes in great detail how it's apparent that what made the difference in the rise and fall of very early civilizations was their access to certain foods and resources...and Africa and the Americas really got the short end of the stick.

But of course since that's a great book by a great historian who knows what the hell he's talking about, you must therefore ignore it and assume that he's a raving liberal just like nearly all climatologists and 90% of scientists throughout the world.

Your example is a straw man, because I'm not arguing that corporation X has a right to dump hazardous waste into a river. That's your argument, not mine.

I never said they had a right to do so, did I? I'm trying to get you to delve into the details of how corporation X would be held accountable. Who would set the laws? Who would determine how much they're liable for? Who would set the rules for conduct in the court, as to who can sue, what can be admitted as evidence, and rules preventing conflict of interest? Who will represent the not-so-rich homeowners against the high-powered legal attorneys hired by corporation X?

And let's not forget, who's the judge? Is this in a state where corporation X was able to pump huge amounts of money into the campaign of that judge? If so, can that judge be forced to recuse himself from the trial?

And THEN you have to ask, are all the peoples' reports of damages rolled into one large suit, or will there be hundreds - or perhaps even thousands - of separate lawsuits? And how long can corporation X tie things up in that legal system before they have to pay one penny in restitution? Especially if they've bought the judge(s).

You see, guy, it's really nice to say that you can get along without our oh-so-tyrannical federal government...but when you dig down into the real details, you start realizing that oh, yeah, we DO need a heavy hitter on your side to go to bat for you...and nobody can provide a heavier hitter than the federal government.
