The problem with republicans: too much emotion

[Billy000]

Huh?

 

[M.D. Rawlings]

Republicans think the word "Freedom" applies only to them

Lefty thinks "Freedom is Slavery" and that any freedom he doesn't like must be suppressed or regulated.

another difference of opinion driven by emotion from another RW'r ... the hits keep coming.

Is that why they stockpile weapons and make bunkers?

No, they do that to keep predators like you at bay...

Why does Antiparty need to be killed? You are a prime example of this thread.

I didn't say he did. Why do you resort to stupid hyperbole at the drop of a hat? Can't think of a smart response so go full moron instead? There is no threat to Anti-Party implied, merely a statement that should he or others like him decide they wish to attack a prepper group there would be consequences.

But please note....that would be ANT-PARTY's fault. He is after all the initiating party.

Do you see how that works?

 

[Boss]

Huh?

What? You want him to retype his post, you fucking moron?

This is the kind of mindless Joe Biden crap we put up with all the time from the left. Whenever you aren't busy EMOTING all over the place or pontificating your latest pearls of Commie "wisdom" to the rest of us, as if we've never heard it before, you're acting like you don't understand how we've somehow misinterpreted your intentions.

The problem with Republicans is they haven't done anything for the country in the last 8 years.

Do they actually think American's are going to vote for more of THAT, in a couple of months?

well there plenty like me who dont think either party is doing much for the country....and yea i know....they tell you they are.....only the "party" people buy that shit....

 

[M.D. Rawlings]

Huh?

Exactly!

You don't even recognize the historical and philosophical motifs of your own nation's founding. Hence, you haven't the faintest clue about what you're even arguing against.

As I have said before, the statist will never understand anything about the rights of others or the pragmatic limits of government except at the business end of a loaded gun pointed at his stupid head.

No, Dorothy. That's a fact.

You see. This is what I'm talking about. When confronted with the truth, when confronted with his hypocrisy, when stripped of his pretensions, we see, once again, that lefty is nothing more than a sneer and a shoeshine, an endless litany of slogans without a real counterargument anywhere in sight.

It's sad, pathetic even, but what can one do but slap him around a bit.

So is that the end of your thread, Billy Boy? Huhhhhh? Whaaaa?

LOL

What is very clear about republicans/tea baggers is that emotion rather than facts and critical thinking dictate their political views.

See when republicans hear the words "freedom" and "government" in the same sentence there is a strong chemical reaction that occurs in their brains that overwhelms their ability to think critically and realistically. Their thinking becomes very black and white. Government automatically means evil or oppression. Freedom is in jeopardy! Their tender sensibilities really start to show. Reality becomes distorted.

They fail to realize that government is about structure and regulation. It is vital to any nation to function. As long as it is within reason, government must come first. I know that sounds like a scary thought but if you just think about it critically you would understand why it is correct.

Let's break down some issues.

Capitalism, while a successful economic system, needs rules. Republicans have this distorted thinking that tells them liberals want to get rid of capitalism because they believe it should be regulated. Their thinking, as I said, becomes very black and white. Nuance escapes them. It's either libertarianism or it is totalitarianism. There is no inbetween because they put too much stock into the snowball fallacy. You start with small regulation and of course totalitarianism must be inevitable. That of course is just non sense. The truth is life needs rules. Corporations like anyone must follow rules that ensures the greater good. People need fair wages. They also must be protected from business practices that could harm them.

Republicans often are faced with juxtapositions that they are not smart enough to grasp objectively.

Let's examine something as fundamentally important as the first amendment. On the surface, a person could reason that there should be no limitations on freedom of speech. Republicans will of course accept that logic right alway. But, of course, even that amendment can't be that simple. Should we legalize libel or child pornography? Of course not. When you present such logic to republicans their brains simply can't handle the dissonance.

Government spending is another example. They understand that national debt is a bad thing yet aren't smart enough to understand the importance of taxation. They have convinced themselves they can have it both ways: no taxes and no national debt. They lack the maturity to understand that personal sacrifice serves an important purpose. Any functioning nation needs revenue and we all need to contribute.

What's my conclusion? The rightwing ideology is compromised by emotion and philosophy when it should be driven by facts and what serves the greater good.

First and foremost, you began your little rant with quite a few total misconceptions and factual inaccuracies. So let's address those first. There is no unified "group-think" when it comes to the republicans, conservatives, tea party or political right wing. That is a trademark of socialist lefties like yourself. You are all cookie-cutter Commies, spewing a bunch of recycled 19th century clap trap which you've cleverly relabeled "Progressivism." On the right, there are a myriad of different opinions in which direction the GOP should go. That in itself is the primary reason we've had two terms of the most incompetent idiot to ever occupy the Oval Office.

Next is your take on Government in general. No one on the right has EVER proposed we have no government, no regulation, no control over capitalism whatsoever. Again, the GOP is divided into several camps. Establishment moderates like Bush and McCain, gave us the most intrusive restrictions ever on our 1st Amendment right to free speech with Campaign Finance Reform. AND the largest expansion of government entitlement since 1965 with the Pill Bill.... REPUBLICANS did that! The GOP candidate for president in 2012 was the provider of the model for Obamacare! The 8 years of Bush, including 6 years of Republican majority in Congress, gave us the largest deficits in history until Obama came along and blew that out of the water.... So where is all this radical NO GOVERNMENT stuff coming from?

The Tea Party, regardless of how much you like to denigrate them, have been the only political entity that has been proven absolutely right all the way down the line. From the failure of TARP and bailouts, getting rid of Bush tax cuts, Obamacare, debt ceiling, credit downgrades, foreign policy... you name it, they've called it right every time. Of course, you're still blaming Bush for the failures of this Administration, as the Tea Party predicted you would do for 8 years.

For someone who claims to base his views on facts and reason, you sure don't understand much

what truth? RW's aren't too emotional?

of course they aren't, the evidence on this thread is a clear indicator of exactly that ... DOROTHY !

What’s interesting is that Billy makes an assertions that ‘republicans/tea baggers’ are all emotion without fact and then launches into a monologue doing EXACTLY what he claimed the republicans did.

Truly ironic how emotional and completely devoid of fact Billy is while demanding that is what others are doing.

If we wanted to make Billy’s assertion a little closer to truth the first sentence would read:
“What is very clear about partisan hacks is that emotion rather than facts and critical thinking dictate their political views.”

A group that Billy clearly belongs in.

Why don’t you take those straw men somewhere else, you didn’t articulate a single republican ‘position’ on anything.

I have to say the rightwing response to my thread has only confirmed the thread.

so that's your goal here? to piss off people so you can beat your chest like some ape
you are the emotional loser in life if this is what gets your jollies off
but you're a typical leftie just a hater

Man Steph. You need to relax. You're so angry. Life is short. Enjoy it, my dear!

Which is probably why you are wrong about so much.
