Liberal or Conservative test

Never work. Too many sheeple that need to be told how and what to think. Well maybe it would work if we had real education in our schools.

Oh well, the present system doesn't work, either.

Medicare's something I pay for that I'll never get to use. The taxes I pay go toward the current benefits of people who don't work anymore, but instead sit around eating garbage, getting diabetes, and overutilizing medical services. They're getting way more back than they ever paid for, and my generation's going to be left holding the bag.


Really, Medicare recipients are the ultimate socialist welfare queens.



As far as the sharpness of tacks is concerned, I recommend you read this article. It might shed some light on why you're so confident about your political beliefs.

People paid their taxes to get medicare yet people like you would deny them what they paid for, obviouse who is the real villian here. I would never make a contract with someone like you, honor isn't at the front of what you stand for. You will make a dandy lawyer. Can we put you on the socialist side or do you deny that?

It doesn't work because the progressives want to destroy the system so you will walk away from the constitution (and your gun rights) and follow a new socialist system. We have the greatest system of government in the world, just bad people running it.

WHEN Adolf Hitler was building up the Nazi movement in the 1920s, leading up to his taking power in the 1930s, he deliberately sought to activate people who did not normally pay much attention to politics.

Such people were a valuable addition to his political base, since they were particularly susceptible to Hitler's rhetoric and had far less basis for questioning his assumptions or his conclusions.

"Useful idiots" was the term supposedly coined by V.I. Lenin to describe similarly unthinking supporters of his dictatorship in the Soviet Union.

Put differently, a democracy needs informed citizens if it is to thrive, or ultimately even survive.......

Good article if you like the truth

I'm a little bit confused about how your staunch support of the largest and most successful socialist program in the United States puts me on the "socialist side," but I guess that's just because I'm a dumb progressive. I might as well stop trying to figure this stuff out, it's all so complicated. :huh:

You are confused Wait for the Nazis to tell you what to think

Funny how you socialist call a program like medicare successfull when it's been run so badly. You do realize it's deep in debt right? oopppss ooppss sorry, didn't mean to make you think, did that hurt?

Say, wasn't the Nazis the National SOCIALIST party of Germany??

I do think Just Jim's definition is - for the most part - correct, although there are exceptions. For example, we do have liberals posting here that support allowing people the right to choose when it comes to gun ownership.
But there is no denying the fact that many liberals scream about the "right to choose" when it comes to abortion and gay marriage, but would deny others a whole host of rights they personally disagree with.

I find it quite amusing, for example, that it's most likely a liberal sporting a "Coexist" bumper sticker on their Prius.

But if we're honest, we must also acknowledge the double standard held by some conservatives that rant on about individual rights and freedoms, but would gladly take away a person's right to choose when it comes to abortion and gay marriage for example.

So there's hypocrisy on both sides of the political spectrum.

I prefer conservative ideals, but the foundation of this country rests on the recognition that each individual has the right to "life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness". So even though I "prefer" marriage to be between a man and a woman, and "prefer" to see people choose life over abortion, I cannot - in good conscious - deny those choices to people if I want society to recognize my right to gun ownership. As an American, I feel I need to be a libertarian first, and a conservative or liberal second.

Thanks Capdek, for a thoughtfull reply!

Wading through the rest of the drivel is tedious. I suppose this thread is meant as tongue in cheek funny but it always turns into a smack fest.
I don't feel this brings us together as a community to support our second amendment rights.

Relax. Conservatives are just as eager to destroy the constitution. Lets not forget the witch hunt for terrorists acrossed the land, waged by Bush (continued by Obama to be fair) that allows the NSA to listen to your phone calls, and if they deem you a terrorist to arrest you and take you to a secret prison somewhere with no right to legal council, no charges, and no due process.

edit: And lets not forget that quite a few conservatives APPLAUD Bush for these things.

I'd like to see how Obama or progressives could top that one. That's more Nazi SS BS on the part of Conservatives than Glenn Beck could ever hope to pin on Obama.

Sorry, Bush is a progressive, not a conservative. Conservatives believe in the constitution and our rights and liberties. Obviousely neither party is for conservative views.

Nazis were a socialist party that got elected promising healthcare for all. Your confusion about conservatives is understandable with education and the media run by socialist.

Also obviouse you are not watching Obama and his people very close, he just took over the banking industry.

+1 On the Bush thing. Never a conservative, always a closet progressive. Those that thought otherwise have their heads in the sand. The only thing that made George B. any kind of a president was the Trade Center Holocost! Out of control spending, commie social projects, U.N suck up, etc.
By the way folks, this is not a Democracy. Did you fail civics? It is a Demoratic Republic! Please do your do dilligence and re read us Govt. 101.
Only an educated electorate will stop this asshat, brain dead thinking the voters seem to like these days. By the way, B.H.O has had more golf days than G.B. had in his whole presidency. MORE COWBELL!! The less time spent in the oval is less time he has to screw us.

"Just Jim" is so utterly ignorant about Socialism that he thinks "socialist" is a plural noun! He makes up languange as he pleases, just like he invents "facts" and "history" to fit his fantasies. He also eats boogers!.....................elsullo
