Yikes!
I jst dont know. What do you two think.
Oh, you mean liberals, trustafarians, Democrats.....
I just love Liberty. Right now, the friends of Liberty are on the conservative side....
Liberty includes the Freedom to raise Capital to start a business and hire you--unless you raise the Capital with a Good Idea and hire me
Welcome to FR.

This was written 155 years ago, & notice how this French author PRAISED the United States (of 1850, that is).
The only disagreement I have w/ the author is that he believed that women shouldn't be allowed to vote....but other than that, I think this is a WONDERFUL defense of capitalism, private property, & the US.
BTW, could anyone please tell me why this link doesn't work? I thought I typed it correctly, & would appreciate your advice. Thank you! :-)
You don't want to have your mind changed, the ONLY thing that you agree with, vis-a-vis the rest of us here, is about guns, your ridiculous hatred of capitalist ( and I assume CAPITALISM as well )should be an immediate cause for banning you, and thus far, you have refused to really engage in any meaningful debate. Have I erred in this summation, on any point?
If what I have stated is true and factual, then, I suggest that you do several things....1) engage in true debate 2) post what you really "feel" and stop worrying about getting the ZOT 3) open your mind.
Pleas explain WHY you are a GREENIE.
Thank you....but what did I do wrong that prevented my link from working?
Ruh roh! It's not as black and white as you've been led to believe is it? Not only talking heads but many republicans are concerned about H1-B visa's being issued in areas where we have sufficient Americans to fill the jobs.
As far as being class conscious and hating capitalists, have you ever noticed some of the more wealthy people around are democrats? Quite a number of them didn't inherit the wealth either they earned it using good old fashioned capitalism. There's nothing evil about wanting to be better off than we are financially. I don't particularly find struggling financially all that noble.
You'll find many on this board are working people just like you are. You say you're surrounded by conservatives, how well do you know these people? Are you under the impression they don't give a darned about the environment? If you are then you're working under a misunderstanding. We more than likely believe in a more balanced approach to conservation than most who wear the tag of green do but it doesn't mean we don't have concerns about the environment.
You'll see all sorts of responses on FR about all sorts of different problems facing America today. Some will be kneejerk, some will be well reasoned, if you can take the time to read about conservative beliefs I think you'll find quite a few areas we will be in agreement about.
You just bored me to sleep hippy.
Some links just wont enter as links automatically. I have no idea why. If it doesn't work after I preview, I re-do it in HTML.
I don't know what party I will vote for in 2006. I am very disillusioned by the big spending Republicans right now.

You show signs of intellgent life. Stick around and learn what freedom and free enterprise are all about. Then you won't hate "capitalists." BTW, a capitalist is just a person who employs people to run machinery and equipment to product goods & services for the benefit of society. Why do you hate capitalists?
Maybe a little while more, then zot.
We'll pave the sucker later, rather than sooner, but like all trolls, he WILL get paved over!
Thank you. So, my point is, give someone willing to wander towards the light a chance my dear. That's all.
My family has fought the Communist scourge long before America started embracing it, long before any of the Great World Wars.
I understand the enemy and am willing to give them an opportunity to wake up before their road comes to and end.
Love your enemy, right up until you might have to whack'em.
"FANS" ?
Well, thanks! Every now and then, I get something right! lol
