This REALLY sums up the total idiocy of the modern day libera.

[JoeB131]

It all goes back to the same thing every time - their unwillingness to look at history and/or to learn from it.

How fuck'n stupid does one have to be to believe the American government could never become completely oppressive (especially when they've become about 70% oppressive over the past 100 years)?

TIME?s Joe Klein: It Is ?Anti-American? And Paranoid to Think the Government Might Oppress You | Video | TheBlaze.com

Lincoln during the civil war suspended Habeus Corpus, had people arrested and thrown out of the country without trial. Wilson had thousands of people locked up without due process, and we (should) all know FDR had hundreds of thousands rounded up and put into camps based on nothing more than ethnicity.

It only takes a bullshit crisis, and the next thing you know "national security" trumps the constitution.

Um... yeah. All that bad stuff happened.

And citizens with guns didn't do a thing to stop any of them, because frankly, the citizens with guns were waiving the flag and cheering them on.

SO if you are arguing the reason why Adam Lanza or George Zimmerman need guns to go around shooting kids is to keep the government from "oppressing" us, your argument becomes kind of hollow.

 

[JoeB131]

What's a libera?

I think it's like a "communis"

 

[LoneLaugher]

It takes a genius to suggest that the typical American liberal is a pawn waiting to be oppressed. Who are we in danger of being oppressed by? Is it:

a) The minority nutters with whom we disagree?
b) The liberals who run the military and are poised to descend on our cities at any moment?
c) The liberal President and majority in the Senate who we just re-elected in free elections?

And....let me ask you....if we are unaware of how perilously close we are to being 100% oppressed, and our wonderful nutters are aware and sounding alarms as the OP is doing....why the fuck are they not DOING SOMETHING.????????????

 

[JoeB131]

It is so unlucky for Rottie that he was not born in a free country like Nazi Germany, North Korea or Franco's Spain.

I do pity Americans having to suffer in a country with no freedom of speech, no elections, no freedom of religious worship, and all of those terrible prison camps. It must be awful.

Yeah, it's always better to wait until you're at that extreme point of oppression and complete loss of freedom before standing up and fighting

Saigon logic: "if another country is doing something worse than yours - sit down, shut the fuck up, and be glad you're not that other country"

You can't make this stuff up folks... it's unbelievable

It is - YOU claimed the US suffered "70% oppression". Now you are claiming it is not "that" oppressed.

So how oppressed is it? How did you arrive at the figure of 70%, if 70% is not "that" oppressed?

What countries scored less than 70%, and on what basis?

You don't expect an answer from Poodle on that one, do you?

Or for him to explain what he considers oppressive.

here's the thing, let's take Poodle at his word, that he considers programs like OSHA, EPA, Medicare, Medicaid, Socieal Security to be "Oppressive", as opposed to the good old days of the turn of the century were robber barons could rape the working class and make kids work in coal mines without some meanies in the government telling them that was wrong or something.

That mean old government, making the water safe to drink and the air safe to breathe and the food safe to eat... they are just taking away from our ability to be rugged indivualists!!!!

But here's the thing. Citizens with guns didn't stop any of that from happening. Oh, you get the occassional nutter objecting, from the extreme left or the extreme right, but mostly, people just go along with it and even find they like it.

So, yeah, I don't feel any safer knowing that the next Adam Lanza is out there protecting me from an oppressive government. I'm more worried about all the bystanders he might shoot up.

 

[idb]

Luckily there are approximately 270 million firearms in the hands of well-regulated civilian militias to fight off the oppressive government and keep everyone safe.

 

[Saigon]

Luckily there are approximately 270 million firearms in the hands of well-regulated civilian militias to fight off the oppressive government and keep everyone safe.

At the moment they keep everyone so safe that only 52,000 people were deliberately shot last year.

70% of the time, we're oppressed every time.

 

[Pete7469]

You mean the past 100 years where we won 2 world wars and became the lone global superpower? You fucking maniac

Ummm, I'm sorry, does winning wars some how mean that a nations government cannot become oppressive?

Fuck'n moron....

That's seriously the best argument you can come up with for why we don't have to worry about the erosion of Constitutional freedoms over the past 100 years? You can't do any better than that?

What I wouldn't give to encounter a single liberal on USMB who can have an intelligent debate

I've never seen a liberal on earth that can have an intelligent debate. They're handicapped from the get go....

I thought they were just here for our amusement.

 

[TheOldSchool]

I'm sorry, you just did, with your own partisan bullshit.

Alright please do explain how I was being partisan. I called Rotty out for being blatantly biased. So maybe I was being partisan against his dumb ass but that's it.

How can you call anyone biased when you are inherently biased yourself? Is that not a double standard?

Hmm I was attempting to be biased against someone who is inherently biased in an unbiased manner. But how can one be biased in an unbiased way against someone who is biased but also believes that they're not biased and therefore unbiased??? Unbiasm vs. unbiasm?????

Who is suggesting " that the typical American liberal is a pawn waiting to be oppressed " ?

I think people are suggesting they typical liberal is a "brown shirt" salivating over the prospects of oppressing people who want to worship God as they see fit, enjoy their second amendment rights, protect the unborn, not have government debt exceed the GDP, not have government regulate industries out of business or subsidize industry that costs more than it could ever profit.

We'd like to see a government keep it's hands off of individual's property, rather than interfere with people who want to build a house but get stopped because some EPA goon calls a puddle on their property a "wetland".

We'd like a government that makes sure the people who enter this country are vetted for criminal history and can contribute something to our society rather than take resources from us.

Explain 70% oppressive, dummy.

It's 7 oppressives out of every 10.
Didn't you study maths at school?

Really?

We can't worship God as we see fit? I've yet to see any laws restricting how a person can worship the divine being that they see running their lives. Catholics, Baptists, and Mormons are still free to worship as they see fit.

Second Amendment rights? Really? When was the last gun recall via the government done?

Protect the unborn? Again.............really? Do you want to force a woman to bring a child into this world knowing she can't provide for said child and force them to be on welfare? I guess it's only important to protect if it's still in the womb. When it finally comes out 9 months later, it's on it's own. (And I said "it" because I didn't want to discriminate between the sexes).

As far as regulation.................I think Wall St. could have used some, because that's what brought us into this recession. Unregulated means that greed is allowed to run rampant.

You wanna talk about subsidies? Well...................how come we still give them to the oil companies which are making record profits?

On the subject of the wetlands..........................are you a scientist or a biologist? And the other question would be, do you understand how valuable the wetlands are to the ecosystem?

And finally....................how are we going to get the information on whether or not someone is a criminal, unless we can go to the country they came from to get their record.

For that matter..................how can you determine if someone is going to contribute to this country? Many people who have made significant contributions here have been people from other places, or those that this country thought were not worthy.

Wanna talk about Einstein? How about Oppenheimer? George Washington Carver perhaps?

Yeah stupid - you mentioned Nazi Germany and North Korea - ie 100% oppression.

We are not that oppressed (yet) 70% < 100%

Folks, this is the education level of the European liberal socialist (and you dumbocrats have to bring that here)?!? I have to explain to him that at 70% oppression we are not as oppressed as the 100% oppressed nations he cites.

 

[P@triot]

It takes a genius to suggest that the typical American liberal is a pawn waiting to be oppressed. Who are we in danger of being oppressed by?

The federal government - which has over stepped its Constitutional authority in a very big (and very scary) way.

And....let me ask you....if we are unaware of how perilously close we are to being 100% oppressed, and our wonderful nutters are aware and sounding alarms as the OP is doing....why the fuck are they not DOING SOMETHING.????????????

We are! We've been sounding the alarm and trying to wake you people up. But rather than read, understand, and consider all of the facts posted - you immediately disregard reality and make arguments to protect your precious little ideology.

I pointed out the erosions in our freedoms over the past 100 years. Your response was "we won two wars" (still fucking hilarious days later). I asked how winning wars means we haven't had an erosion in freedoms and you can't explain/defend your incoherent point which had nothing to do with the issue. In your humiliation over the fact that I pointed how just how stupid and unrelated to the issue your post was, the best you can do is falsely claim "I poked a hole in your argument"

Folks - I give you the modern day idiot liberal dumbocrat

 

[P@triot]

Really?

We can't worship God as we see fit? I've yet to see any laws restricting how a person can worship the divine being that they see running their lives. Catholics, Baptists, and Mormons are still free to worship as they see fit.

Obamacare forces every religious institution to pay for abortions - a mortal sin under their beliefs.

Second Amendment rights? Really? When was the last gun recall via the government done?

There are literally hundreds of laws on the books restricting a wide range of weapons, magazine capacities, bullets, and more. Washington D.C. unconstitutionally outlawed guns completely. New York City has unconstitutionally outlawed carrying a gun. Illinois has unconstitutionally outlawed carrying a gun.

Protect the unborn? Again.............really? Do you want to force a woman to bring a child into this world knowing she can't provide for said child and force them to be on welfare? I guess it's only important to protect if it's still in the womb. When it finally comes out 9 months later, it's on it's own. (And I said "it" because I didn't want to discriminate between the sexes).

If a man and a woman can't provide for a child, then they shouldn't have gotten pregnant. Gee, what a concept, eh?

As far as regulation.................I think Wall St. could have used some, because that's what brought us into this recession. Unregulated means that greed is allowed to run rampant.

Oh, well that's all that matters. I mean, as long as you think so - fuck the Constitution! Hey everybody, BikerSailor *thinks* something should be, so lets shred the Constitution and go with what a biker *thinks*.

And where in the Constitution does it say we are supposed to regulate "greed"? I'm sorry, I must have missed that section. Can you please point it out to me so that I can read it?

You wanna talk about subsidies? Well...................how come we still give them to the oil companies which are making record profits?

Oil companies have never received a subsidy. Not once. Ever. In the entire history of the U.S. If you ever want to be taken seriously again, you have to stop basing all of your information on what radical libtards on USMB post. JoeB. is not a source of information.

Do you see how completely uninformed and out of touch you are? You cite the 2nd Amendment without having even the slightest clue about the endless gun laws restricting our rights.

You cite religious freedom without any knowledge of the government imposing their will over the religious beliefs of the people.

You cite "subsidies" for oil companies which have never happened even one time in the 235 year history of this nation.

You're a completely misinformed buffoon. Go ride your little bicycle son and pretend your a hard ass. Leave the conversations to people who are actually informed.

Nobody is forced to pay for abortions. If they are, wanna provide a link? I think what you're talking about is paying for birth control (which isn't the same as abortions.

There are many instances where a couple has gotten pregnant even in cases where birth control was used. Are you going to ban sex for poor people?

As far as regulation.................I think Wall St. could have used some, because that's what brought us into this recession. Unregulated means that greed is allowed to run rampant.

Really? Oil companies have never received a subsidy? Try again.......

In the United States, credible estimates of annual fossil fuel subsidies range from $10 billion to $52 billion annually, while even efforts to remove small portions of those subsidies have been defeated in Congress, as shown in the graphic below. Download your own pdf copy here.

Speaking of uniformed buffoons......................

I seriously don't know whether this is hilarious or tragic. You are such a brainwashed buffoon, if a radical liberal website tells you something, you take it as the gospel without any verification or research of your own.

See, you're radical wing-nut sites are lying to you (because they know they can - because they know you are that stupid). Oil companies receive tax breaks (due to the costs associated with locating and harvesting more oil). Keeping more of what is already yours is NOT the same thing as someone giving you money you didn't already have (ie subsidy).

It's a distinction "priceofoil.org" is laughing at you that you're unable to make

 

[editec]

That this nation is becoming more repressive is obvious.

But it takes a truly trollish partisan imbecile to think that liberals cannot see it happening as well.
