Why the right fights

I think Laura Ingram got it right the other day, since 2000, what the hell has the gop establishment done right in the grand scheme of things? They went along to get along, after dole (96), bush, McCain Romney, wtf are we?
 
The problem with putting the "consumer" in charge is that you mean only the consumer who can afford them.

Yes. We want consumers to have what they can't afford! That's the socialist way!

If the market controlled agriculture, farms would lie fallow when they couldn't sell their crops. this is EXACTLY what occurred during the Great Depression, where dairy farmers dumped hundreds of gallons of milk because no one had the money to buy it.

In fact, if as much as you guys whine about "Socialism", agriculture is pretty much entirely socialist in this country, and it works.

ANd things got worse after FDR instituted price supports. Prices couldn't find a bottom. Had FDR just left it alone eventually the market would clear and prices would rise back and farmers would produce more.

This is basic Econ 101, first day supply and demand stuff. Of course if you left school after 9th grade like you Joe you didnt get any of this.

A party appealing to an angry base, rejecting ideas you used to support because Obama suggested them?

Guy, after 2008, and everything you said was proven wrong, you don't get to talk about economics.

If FDR hadn't taken action to keep the farms running, we'd have had food riots and probably some form of fascism, which is pretty much how the REST of the world dealt with the Great Depression.
 
What cons mean by "we want more freedom" is that they want the freedom to perform forced ultrasounds on women.

They want more freedom for themselves always, never anyone else.

Ironic then that they should be the ones who always accuse the other side of wanting to put government in the doctor's office.

Cons are great at that; accusing everyone else of the shit they instigate and do all by themselves.
 
Conservatives are ‘fighting’ motivated by fear: fear of diversity, change, and expressions of individual liberty, the fear shared by all reactionaries as a society becomes more sophisticated, enlightened, and inclusive; they fear the common-sense pragmatism most Americans today advocate which rejects blind adherence to failed conservative political and fiscal dogma.

The willingness of House republicans, for example, to engage in pointless brinksmanship is the manifestation typical of the desperate reactionary coming to the realization that the change he unjustifiably and irrationally fears is inevitable.

And the motivation is also a consequence of conservative anger at a specific democratic administration, opposition to a specific program, and disappointment over a single electoral defeat – this is indeed very much partisan as well.

Conservatives want less government and more freedom, you want a government that protects you from making the wrong choice, and we are motivated by fear.

Good delusional logic.

Speaking of delusional.....

You say you want less government and more freedom but that is laughable. First of all you you are NOT "conservatives". You are classic "Neo-Conservatives".

You preach smaller government and more freedom but then turn around and say you want government to tell women and their doctors what to do with their bodies, tell two people they cannot marry, tell doctors how they treat patients who are brain dead, tell people they cannot use marijuana to treat cancer symptoms and tell people they cannot die with dignity.

Face it. You're a liar. You REALLY don't want less government. You want a government that tells people how to live their private lives.

Shame on you.

.

I tell women and their doctors what to do?

Funny, I could have sworn I oppose Obamacare, when did I change my mind? Or are you just spouting nonsense because I actually scored against your insistence that your side is always right?

In fact, if as much as you guys whine about "Socialism", agriculture is pretty much entirely socialist in this country, and it works.

Now the government buys it up to make sure no farmer ever has to sell it for less than a price set in the 1930s, which makes it more expensive for everyone, especially poor people. Somehow you think that is better.

Higher prices work for you, as long as they are caused by the government.

You know the FDR Depression ended 70 years ago.

Yes, I do. And I know we haven't had another one like it (although 2008 was close) because we kept his reforms in place.

It's kind of like saying, "People kept stealing my shit until I started locking my door!"

Locking your door is still a good idea even if no one has stolen your shit in a while.

And you see, guy, Republicans USED to get this. Eisenhower, Nixon, Ford, Reagan, all realized FDR was right about the role of government and kept the government doing the things it needed to do.

Until the Teabaggers and LiberTards took over, anyway.

Not true.

I've never wanted to perform ultrasounds on women. No one I know wants taht either.
I do know Democrats who want to tell other people what they can eat, what they can drink, how they have to drive, where they can work, what kinds of insruance they can get, etc etc etc.

Everything libs accuse conservatives of is true about libs.

What happened in 2008 that everything I said was proven wrong? You must have a phenomenal memory. Or be an enormous liar.

We did have some form of fascism. What kind of system is it where the gov't dictates to whom you have to sell your produce, at what price, and what kinds?
You are a loser, Joe. On every thread.
 
So what you’re seeing motivating the House Intransigents today, what’s driving their willingness to engage in probably-pointless brinksmanship, is not just anger at a specific Democratic administration, or opposition to a specific program, or disappointment over a single electoral defeat. Rather, it’s a revolt against the long term pattern I’ve just described: Against what these conservatives, and many on the right, see as forty years of failure, in which first Reagan and then Gingrich and now the Tea Party wave have all failed to deliver on the promise of an actual right-wing answer to the big left-wing victories of the 1930s and 1960s — and now, with Obamacare, of Obama’s first two years as well.

Hey, we got less government right now. How's that working out? Lots of pissed off people from what I hear.

And the "freedom" thing. I hear that quite a bit. What is it that you are not "free" to do now and what are the things you would do, if you were more "free"?
 
Why the right fights

It’s more like why the right fails.

That seems to be correct. The Repubs have no success stories to point to. They said "trickle down" was gonna raise all the boats. And it didn't.

The said if only the very rich could have the very lowest tax rates EVER, that they would spend so much money that it would stimulate us all. Then the economy almost died.

They said Saddam was a REAL threat. To us. And he wasn't.

So health care come along and the repubs have promised us that this will end the world as we know it and only the Repubs know this and can save us from the impending disaster.
And they can't stop it and it won't destroy us.

So Repubs have a rather long list of failures. And it is really pissing them off. And they are acting out right now.

People of better faith and more common sense will eventually prevail. I hope.

One day many years from now.................

Daddy they told me we were once a Super Power, and that we had a thriving economy.

What happened daddy.......................

Well son we refused to fight the abuses of our gov't as it got out of control and spent us into oblivion, eventually crashing us....................

Daddy, why didn't you fight it then................

We did, but those getting Free services from the Gov't refused to fight because they were receiving Free stuff all over the place. So they refused to fight for their country and save us.

I'm sorry son, we tried and lost. Your generation now pays the price for our STUPIDITY.

Where were you when you had the chance to make a stand.....................To save our economic future................

It's time to fight the Libs using Fire with Fire. The tactics they have used for decades.
 
We need to take Conservative principles and couple them with 21st century technology

We don't need Federal Departments to control corn production or set the price of milk, that's Old School DemoSoviet Thought.

Individual freedom couple with nearly unlimited access to information will put the consumer back in charge

Never fear under the new America the government can tax you if you fail to buy enough corn, milk or anythig else they want to shove down your throat. Ain't legislation by SCOTUS grand?

Right, unlike what we have now, who tells you what light bulbs you can buy or how your shitter has to operate and how your appliances have to be designed? Come on commie tell me how this is better.

I'm talking about how people are prevented from getting married, dying with dignity and getting treated for cancer symptons and you want to talk about light bulbs?

You and Quantum Windbag have absolutely no clue. You say you want less government interference in our private lives then turn around and want the government to interfere in people's private lives.

So are you guys delusional or liars? It has to be one or the other.

And in either case how hypocritical can you get? :confused:

Um. Yeah. If you let the prices fluctuate, then farmers would lose money growing food.

Dumbass.
