Well teen, that would be incorrect.

Son, now you know that I have posted many legit subjects on these threads. Need I list them for you? Why the attack?

Damm! she did! let me check!
Nope.

Maybe she found your 6 little pounds. Don't worry, they will be back.

it doesn't bother you that 100% of people on this board think you're an asshole? You're comfortable with hanging around in a place where everyone reviles you? That's something you're used to? I know there are people like you. I work with a guy that everyone hates. he knows it and doesn't care. You're worse than him though. he doesn't care. you seem to enjoy it.

dispute it?

Authoritarian left and authoritarian right are the difference between freezing to death and burning to death, the end result is the same.

You have a point. Hitler was not the only one. How about Pol Pot?

And don't forget Stalin! Like the big guy said.

The point you raise about the libertarian versus the authoritarian, Ibbie, is why I went libertarian. No masquerades -- ever. What you're seeing, if you see clearly, is what you're getting.

Now a good many of you aren't seeing very clearly yet. (How many of you know who you are is yet another thread's worth.) Is there hope? I think so, but the evidence supporting it may be a little thin.

The fascists and the communists weren't and aren't antitheses: they are competitors for the totalitarianism market. If we keep that population small, these large-P Parties can't make a living.

LJ, while Merc can defend himself, I for one am nowise convinced he's an asshole. I am persuaded, however, that you have a giant mad on about him. So he rubs you personally the wrong way. Is this important in the larger scheme of things? Sometimes what is needed is simply to back off for a while.

UG, the libertarian vs. authoritarian argument, yes, IS the most vital part of it...

And the Republicans are by FAR more authoritarian than the Democrats.
That is why you are a sham, a hypocrite, a fake. Because you claim to support freedom, but still support the Republicans.
