You boys are so civil when you call GOPer's names like statist, socialist, and anti-liberty dolts...

What would you call them? Friends of Liberty? Defenders of Freedom? The party of smaller government? Either you haven't been keeping up with current events or you're living in denial.

See there, you made his point for him. You just cannot stop calling people names. Pick are sick and tired of the likes of you coming around here, acting like you've got the market cornered on the RIGHT morals and values and the rest of us are wrong if we don't agree with you.

But if you have the strength of your own convictions, it doesn't matter what people say or do. It's easy to stand firm. Plus, it really would be very dull without anyone to present alternative POV's.

It is the free-flowing discussion, the differences in opinion that people express, that often turn out to be the most provocative. When you read something that you KNOW you will never agree with, it makes it that much easier to stand firm, and to explain why. When you read something that you aren't sure about, it helps to have ten POV's, all of which are the basis for forming opinions.

Not many people want to follow thread after thread reading "I agree" and "Me too" and "Go Arator Go!". Heh heh. I threw the last one in just to throw you off.

One who advocates socialism is a socialist. Legislators who vote in the affirmative for policies consistent with socialism are socialists. It matters not what party they belong to, what country they live in, what religion they practice, what language they speak, or how noble their intentions. Anyone who defends and supports such legislators are socialists. Wether or not somebody agrees with me is irrelevant.

Let me use a metaphor to illustrate my point. A thug robs a bank, runs outside, and jumps into a getaway car which is driven by his friend. His friend didn't participate in the actual theft. But he is an accessory to it nonetheless. He aided in the facilitation of the theft. Therefore he is as guilty as the thug who executed the theft.

Pick are sick and tired of the likes of you coming around here, acting like you've got the market cornered on the RIGHT morals and values and the rest of us are wrong if we don't agree with you.

From my perspective of course I think people are wrong who don't agree with me. Don't you think people are wrong who don't agree with you? Why is it ok for you to think that people who disagree with you are wront but it's not ok for anyone else to?

You are wrong, by the way. People aren't sick of me coming around here, acting like I have the market cornered on the "right" morals and values and everyone else is wrong. They just resent the fact that I point out their hypocrisy and inconsistency to them. Must really chap their hides.
