What Is Your Political Philosophy?

Carter was still a very poor president, 0bama is just as bd, he has all Carter's faults and a few choice faults from Nixon, and FDR and Wilson, and Bush, who knows, he may even be hiding some of slick Willy's faults too.

 

Yep . . . my contention is that you have to cut so many slimy deals in order to rise to national level politics and survive that NOBODY has got clean hands anymore.

 

The whole problem though, is that Obama's hands are black and cons are racist bastoids or just stupid. I can find no other reason to explain their affliction.

 

I understand why so very many leftwingers so often take that Race Card play route; because not so very long ago in political terms such a technique instantly shut down opposition voices and guaranteed the player an easy win. So the intellectually lazy have simply fallen into a bad habit, like a drug addiction that they are disinclined to kick. But thanks in part to the Internet and certainly because Obama himself has given into the temptation to practice race-baiting a time or two since becoming president people are becoming sophisticated enough in general to differentiate between genuine acts of racism and voiced opposition that leftwingers simply label racist or racism because they think they can get away with doing it. What fascinates me, however, is the obvious degree of contempt that they exhibit for everyone else in their assumption that nobody else is bright enough to see through their tactic. Such arrogance and such contempt!

 

Heres the problem, his hands are black. I don't use racism as an excuse, I use it as the reality of what is occurring in DC for the last 5 years, and then this guy who says his "Eyes Wide Open" has the audactity chit on Obama for what the right is doing, mainly obstruction of government. Watch a few of these videos and tell me what you think afterwards. Can you draw any other conclusion? Has this ever in the history of America occurred before to a white president? Ever?? Think hard on it. The rightwing bastoids proposed a bill, and when Obama said he would approve it, they change their minds and were against it!!! Why did they do that? You are smart guy, draw me a GD conclusion that doesn't lead to racism.

And don't lie to me either.

 

Get back to me when someone uses an actual Special Prosecutor to try and link Obama to a man's suicide (Vince Foster) or tries to take out Michelle for messing with the White House cooking staff (Hillary) or pushes for an open ended and fully funded investigation into random aspects of Barack's and Michelle's personal and public lives and then IMPEACHES Barack for having lied under oath about an affair between consenting adults. Return when that stuff happens and then perhaps you will have established a case for racism to have come into play against the Obama's. But only perhaps.

 

I'm a fiscal conservative, somewhat libertarian with my foreign policy, and somewhat liberal with weed. Smaller government and lower taxes suit me. As a Christian and biologist, I am somewhat lenient on abortion even though I'm mostly pro-life. I don't have a big problem with IUDs, morning after pills, or even abortions in the first couple of months. Most zygotes are naturally washed out before forming a placenta, and I like to think life begins when a placenta is formed.

I guess I could be called "an ultra-conservative with liberalistic tendencies!"

 

As expected, you haven't the deceny to respond to the obvious, and wanted to lay a guilt trip on me. The fact is, the problem is we have a black man in the White House and a racist GOP in the House who will do whatever it takes to get the black man.

“The single most important thing we want to achieve is for President Obama to be a one-term President.”
~Mitch McConnell, admitting what the only priority Republicans have had since 2008

Yeah, get back to me when they bring War Crimes Prosecution against Bush Inc.

 

Being a weed biologist, maybe you could explain the best way to make a weed tincture. I personally don't use it, never like it, and would have to find a place to get it, but I am interested in it some skin spots I suspect might be virus or Agent Orange related. Thought I would try and see what happens. banchie@myway.com

I saw on YouTube two compelling videos for weed extract to cure Parkinsons disease, Amazing.

 

I am a Maverick with Conservative views.

 

{Shrug} I no longer invest any serious time or energy trying to convince paranoid hysterics that their sick little alternate fantasies do not jibe with reality and the vast weight of gainsaying facts. I just allow them to clutch their insanity to their breasts and then either sigh in sympathy for their mental plight or laugh at them simply because they are acting like brain damaged clowns. Not that I know anybody currently acting that way, of course. I was writing in the hypothetical, obviously.

 

LMAO! I showed you reality, you can't face it, you can't watch reality can you? No, you have to dream, go into these little opium induced dreams, thats your reality!!!

 

I'm not an expert on weed, but of course it does have medicinal benefits which can make it worthwhile. I also don't believe recreational use is any more dangerous than alcohol, but there is a slippery slope to consider.

 

My political philosophy is to have a country where the government owns the electric,gas and water and runs it as a non profit organisation for the benefit of its population. They should also own the public transport system, trains and buses again as non profit.There should be a health care system for everyone funded thru taxes and a state pension system funded the same way. The military should be a defense force and only be used in case of attack on the said country.The government should regulate private business so that they do not monopolize anything and should have laws in place to protect the rights of workers.There should also be social services run by the government to protect the population. Apart from that it would be a capitalist society.

 

I call myself a classic liberal which is halfway between what Americans call Liberal and Libertarianism. I am primarily concerned with individual rights and I am anti authoritarian both of the right and left.

On the right I agree with:

Pro Small government. Hostile to open immigration, Hostile to multiculturalism and 'affirmative action'. Hostile to Islamism. Pro Free markets. Hostile to radical feminism.

On the left I agree with:

Gay rights, Animal rights, Women's right to abortion, socialised medicine

With libertarians I agree with

Legalisation of Drugs, Prostitution and Gambling ,lower the age of consent to 14, opposition to government control of the internet

 

My end is the non-aggression principle. My means are a combination of Agorist counter-economics, and typical political activism - mainly the former.

 

I am a communist , i believe that there should be no states or governments and citizens should directly decide for polices and take responsibility for their decisions. People should be free to associate as they like but associations that make one party subservient to another should be illegal.
I have my own approach in social matters but i accept that all views , ideas and doctrines should put to test , social experimentation will help us distinguish good policies from bad ones.

 

I firmly believe in life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. Accordingly, I am of the opinion that the role of government should be strictly limited to protecting individual liberty and administering justice. Any other pursuit that government engages in is undesirable and harmful to society.

 

I have always found agorism rather compelling I have read SEK3 and for some years would have called myself an agorist. Middle age has changed my relationship with the establishment but for a time in Lived in the counter economy.

 

I'm a federalist.

I believe in a federation of states over a nation of territories. Each state should have complete autonomy with the exceptions of printing their own currency, entering into alliances with other states or foreign powers, prohibiting its citizens from leaving the state or other American citizens from entering. The federal government has the power to regulate trade between the states but not within the individual states.

I believe in non-interventionalist as apposed to interdependent and imperialist policies. The ability to wage war and disperse troops should remain in the hands of the federal legislature, not the executive branch of government.

I subscribe to the Austrian school of economic thought. I believe in a wall of seperation between the state and the market. However, I believe in the ability for each state to determine their own economic policies. Like Thomas Jefferson, I oppose all systems of central banking. The authority to print currency should remain in the hands of the federal legislature, not a private banking cartel in partnership with the government.

I believe in a written constitution and seperation of executive, legislative and judicial powers. I subscribe to the Jeffersonian view of a narrow interpretation of federal constitutions.

 

I'm an anarchist if we're talking ideals, but since I spend more time focussing on immediate solutions to current problems, I come off as more of a Social Democrat (read:Nordic model).

 

Bolivarian Socialist here. Don't write it off until you read it.

I think that the Preamble of the Constitution is the best summary of what our country is about.
It implies that we are the ones ultimately responsible for governing and that a perfect union includes justice, freedom, security and caring about others.

 

"I'm against taxing business more. America now has the highest corporate tax in the industrial world. We need to cut them and many of the regulations that prevent companies from moving here, expanding, or starting up a new business." marine1

This is a lie perpetuated by both parties. Yes, before corporate loopholes, the tax rate is 35%. After the loopholes are used, large corporations pay less than 15%. Ask yourself why both parties refuse to address this problem? Because neither parties would win elections without corporate campaign financing. Stop defending large corporations and make them pay their fair share of taxes!

 

There are opposing opinions about taxes, depending on whether you consider taxes to be harmful or helpful. I consider taxes to be harmful because I aint getting rich off them. Quite the contrary.
