DISQUS

Say Anything: Fad Politics

    I don't know what you've been smoking, Sparkie, but no conservatives consider bailouts to be anything resembling conservatism.

    So, Bush is a Marxist? Does that make your hero Hillary some sort of American? Your so full of shit your breath stinks.

    Personally, I have never much worried about the urgent possibility of disposing of a dead cow carcass before now, but I am quite sure that those of us who live in urban or suburban areas will take all this good advice about dead cows under advisement.

    Thanks Bat.
    Also, hotel, I don't count her among my heroes.
    I'm just wondering when you 'conservatives' are going to call bullshit on all this rapid change.

    Maybe we'll just have to wait ten years. Is it just a lack of choices in candidates?

    I think GMO food and end of life rights are ideal issues. You guys do not support a 'conservative' policy on these things. I can multiply the list. When one company controls everything you are able to eat, will you begin to feel duped? When someone in Washington controls your ability to die with dignity, will you not feel duped? When someone campaigns on cutting spending and the absurdity of international authority/intervention and then proceeds to reverse EVERYTHING campaigned upon, will you not feel duped? When you are convinced to spend 3 trillion removing a petty dictator on a case built with lies, will you not feel duped?

    Also, with regard to the upcoming election, I am fairly indifferent to the results. As I see it, McCain will probably pick the least corrupt cabinet. That's about it. We'll have to see what kind of bullshit FAD we will have all latched onto when the election rolls around. All I can pray is that the distribution of power returns and the uni-prong gov't we have been experiencing falls by the wayside. I can't help but notice a similarity in the between the Bush White Houses' policy and the infamous Mao quote, "Power comes from the barrel of a gun".

    Sparkie,

    Could it be considered a "fad" that you are suddenly enamored with the term "fad"? Just curious.

    Proof
    you only see that in mass, rhode island, ny, nj, conn, and pa. i know what you mean. either that or its, "can i store [i]my[/i] backhoe on your land until tomorrow?"

    GWB is of the 'compassionate conservative' or 'neo-conservative' ilk. That is to say somewhat conservative in some ways but with lots of programs and safety nets. I'll grant that he's on the road towards Mao communism but at a slower pace.

    Is your problem with him that he's headed the wrong direction or just going to slowly? (Where am I going? Why am I in this handbasket?)
  • FlyOnTheWall · 1 year ago
    going [i]too[/i] slowly.

    Pure insanity; on the other hand, the Dems are already there.

    Most descriptions of me end in the word 'hole.' Your use of 'Pure' is almost cute by comparison.

    Government has had a steady increase in size under GWB. That voting for Hillary or Obama would mean an exponential increase in guvmnt size does not negate the size increase under GW. For his faults, if he ran for a third term I'd vote for him, far better than any of the lineup out there.

    That is the nature of govt, unless the voters rein it in. It does not in any way indicate that President Bush is, as you said, "on the road towards Mao communism...". That is a matter of quality, not quantity of govt. President Bush is decidedly not totalitarian, while the Dems keep promising to run our lives "for the common good". Like I said, pure insanity to compare President Bush to Mao in any way whatsoever.

    BTW, Fly, "pure insanity" denotes insanity undiluted by any vestige of sanity. If you find that "almost cute", it reveals more about you than you might prefer.

    government is full of people who sell us out daily to foreign interests for cash. it should be frightening but so far it's business as usual. Is the price of gas or food that canary in the coal mine they have always told us about? Or is the fact that 20 million people have illegally invaded our nation and driven our wages down? We are all frogs and the water is getting warmer....

    Gas prices and food prices are the result of govt bending over for the environazis. This "alternative energy" crap is jacking up both the price of gas and the price of food.
