Only a few minor social policy differences separate the 2 parties and they are separate by design to give us the illusion of choice.

Both parties have the same positions on monetary policy, foreign policy, fiscal policy (minor differences that dont matter) and adhere to the central philosophical premise that the federal government can use force against the people, against their will, through taxation and other tyrannical mechanisms of the state.

If you identify as an R or a D, a Conservative, or a liberal in this day and age witht he wealth of human information at your fingertips, you are a lost cause and should commit suicide.

lron, if you have been acting a tool for a year just to set up for suddenly brilliant political analysis, I will herald you as a server legend.

Only time will tell if this is just a random and accidental occurrence or if this will mark the beginning of a trend.

Oh no, there's lots of conservatives in Murica. There just aren't any liberals.

Couldn't agree more. The image they each portray is different than what actually happens when they legislate.

I think it comes down to Liberal voters believe they are more intelligent and conservative voters think they are more moral, so each side latches on to one party to prove that to themselves and their peers. And the politicians in each party play this card to get those specific voters behind them.

100 years ago the debate was liberty vs. tyranny, not the false left vs. right paradigm

Well you outlined the election of Woodrow Wilson, who effectively sold the country out to the international banking cartel and transformed us into a communist country with a privately owned central bank known as the "Federal" Reserve. So you marked the turning point.

Yes the federal reserve is evil. "Nationalizing" all those banks that fucked us over 5 years ago.(most of those banks we are no longer shareholders of and made a profit from it). Putting fucking screws to JP Morgan after decades of wall street bullshit. Creating a guarantee that if your bank is robbed your money is safe. Trying its best to protect against bank runs. Doing its best to manipulate an economic climate to pay for Bush/Cheney's 8 years of ineptitude. Ill even give you this one, trying to pay for Clinton's "Houses for everybody" stance that caused assholes to bet against mortgage backed securities.

It's a tool. It is the same thing as a missle, or a green beret, or a screwdriver. It can be used for good or evil. It can be ran competently or stupidly. It is not inherently "socialist".

keep in mind that it required extra terrestrials to come down and help humanity clean up the mess first. The alternative is the terran empire and we all know how well that worked out in the end.

Geordi never shows up in the mirror universe and had nothing to do with the Phoenix.

They barely survived, they might not have lost but they certainly didn't win.

They captured the regent yes, but they disabled one ship and then went back to Tarok Nor, that's still a far cry from liberating the Earth. Humanity is still a slave race in that universe.

is it just me, or is kagatob borderline pedobear status?

Star trek makes one a pedo now? :confused: :confused: :confused:

no, just all the pedo anime and midget discussions. I have no beef with you, I just wonder, that's all..

Which 'pedo anime' as you call it, would that be?

You know what I am talking about.

Isn't this the standard response of someone who has no case when asked for evidence?
