Have you ever read a philosophy book or taken a philosophy course?

Politicians don't give a fuck about which side of the fence they are on. They will run on a platform to support world wide genocide if that is what their constituent group (voters) wants. Politicians want power and money. That is it.

If you look at the agendas for each political party going back to the beginning of this country, they have traded and swapped sides of the fence as needed to retain their power. Best example is that Lincoln was a Republican. He freed the slaves. Now Republicans are bigots and racists.

The OWL is a pure mob mentality group. The majority of their members just want to be part of something bigger than themselves and could easily be persuaded to commit mass suicide at the direction of a lunatic.

People believe they have the opportunity to vote for representatives who are share similar morals and beliefs. This is completely false. We are not a democracy. The United States is a representative republic. And because those representatives only serve themselves our government is completely disfucktional and useless.

I could go on.. but there isn't much point.

Eh, that was more of a gradual shift and had more to do with southern dixiecrats than the party itself.

Look back further, to washington (+hamilton) + adams presidencies, then the following jefferson presidency. Jefferson busted Federalist balls and then once president removed almost nothing (except i think alien and sedition acts?). Libertarian idol was a motherfucking turncoat, above quote is exact. Founding fathers wanted more economic independence...for themselves...

FYI, Liberalism means 'for liberty'. It originally meant libertarianism, and then progressives stole our word despite not matching its meaning at all.

As if I weren't fond enough of you enough already for being a sweet chanter and being in a guild designed to have fun by being challenged, you're a freaking libertarian too? [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

[You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] this is so bad and wrong. Would be as dumb as someone saying that all Democrats are queers and pussies. Of course some are, some aren't. True "non-racism" is seeing different races, but treating each one identically. Politically speaking, Democrats see skin color far more than Republicans. But they are only doing this to get their votes.

Anything in all of politics is just who can get the most votes, most effectively, in the easiest way possible. I don't know why any of you buy into the pro-liberal media, or pro-conservative Fox news bullshit. Bottom line: grow up, stop believing the crap you hear and develop your own opinion. Really, 99% of people's opinions probably stem from the environment they grew up in and the people around them.

Horrible troll thread.

True non-racism would be realizing that race is a purely social construct with no biological basis and ignoring it.

True non-racism would be realizing that white people are generally stupid.

I don't find white people to be particularly stupid or intelligent, fat or slim, interesting or dull, educated or ignorant, or anything else is particular. I find them to be people, full of both admirable qualities and despicable flaws. I find them to be people, just like all the rest.

I met a woman on the bus tonight. We had a nice talk. When she got off at her stop, I had a smile on my face and so did she. She has dark skin. I have light skin. Neither of those things mattered.

Don't you hate it when you make a sarcastic joke and someone tries to argue with you about the intellectual merits of it?

My apologies. It's hard to remember who are the genuine bigots and who sarcastically emulates them for effect even when I can decipher which is which.
