Communism at its best...

I like how everyone is so quick to bashing America, at least now I know that Europeans and others don't really dig the policies (for real, not just some theory or assumption!) I'm thinking of moving to Denmark?

[House MD 221B]

we're not bashing america, or americans, we're bashing the bush administration / republicans, but with the democrats, america is on the road to recovery.

So republicans are unamerican? Sounds like your painting with a broad brush. I just love it when a European makes a biased and prejudicial statement and then twists it into something disarming and tolerant. Go listen to your Green Day crap and leave politics that are no concern of yours alone.

No they arent "unamerican", they're idiots, and they caused MOST of america's Woes,

Wars, Health Care System, recession, failing schools, unemployment... the list goes on.

you see, you're republicans are like our conservative party, they havent learnt that even though their politics CAUSED a recession in the 80's and they privatised all our services and shut down all our mines and industries, that you CANNOT cut taxes, and raise public spending, hence the mass privatisation, the same way that your republicans think you can solve it with small government and its retarded bills and schemes like the no child left behind act where they CUT a schools budget because it ISNT performing.

and take it from your uneducated, aggressive, and fevered rant that you are a republican, so go cuddle your .45, and go listen to your conway twitty and get an education about your political parties. Because your politics ARE a concern of ours when your president persuades our leaders to send OUR boys for your treasure hunt in the middle east, and when americas stock market crashes OUR stock market crashes.

Our politics isnt perfect, but we question it, and argue it, and debate it, and recognise where our mistakes are.

yet your so quick to be "patriotic" and blindly praise an idiotic leader and his corrupt government, because we arent even going to go into the election fraud and the conspiracies, and the hoaxed second election videos. they were very clever, but lets not pretend they werent VERY dishonest and corrupt, borderlining on illegal.

Again, painting with a broad brush. If you want to call someone idiots then at least level the blame equally. You can't possibly believe that the Democrats are with out blame and have the best interest of every American in mind. Both parties are just as corrupt. Most of America's woes were not created by Republicans alone but by all the talking heads in Congress who smugly posture away their term instead doing their job. You are completely over simplifying the people who share those principles and the causes for America's "woes".

Wars, Health Care System, recession, failing schools, unemployment... the list goes on.

Both wars were supported by Republicans and Democrats alike. If the left had issue with G.W.B.'s desire to go to war they should have taken issue with it from the outset instead of waiting to use it as a platform for reelection. The recession was in part created by Democratic/Republican Reps. failing to oversee it's own institutions (Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac), while also mandating them to take on riskier lending practices (Clinton Administration). I'm not putting the "blame" on the Clinton Admin. just mentioning it as a contributing factor. Congress knew about the looming issues with Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac two in advance and failed to blow the whistle because both parties were receiving incentives to not take action. Again, this is just another contributor not the cause or the answer but one link in chain that would take all day to talk about and many have nothing to do with politics.

Don't be condescending and pretend like I'm an uneducated fool. Republicans are similar to Conservatives, really? Who would have guessed that? Thank God not all Republicans think alike. Some of us are even, I don't know if I should dare say it, PROGRESSIVE!

It's common sense that spending cannot increase with tax cuts. Any non ignoramus can see the problems that will create without the use Joseph Smith's seer stone and hat. You know what? There were Republicans critical of the President from their own party! Might that be called thinking for your self? I've never been a Bush supporter and felt like he was handed the 2000 nomination over better candidates (not good ones, just better). I've never towed a party line that doesn't satisfy my own criticism first and if more fools in congress could show the same criticism of their own party leadership *gasp* transparency and trust might begin to trickle into a bloated government that has been ailing from the same petty BS for far to long.

I'm not sure how my previous comment made me uneducated and yes it was direct. Much better to be direct then beat around the bush making agonizingly neutral statements like a Canadian (I love you Canada thank you for tolerating me for so long). If your concern is American government interfering with your own I think that is an issue to take up with your own leadership. If the British PM doesn't have the balls to tell someone to f**k off I wouldn't respect them either. I value the lives of your boys as much as my own so please don't minimize my friends that are risking their lives while doing their job and compare it to something that is the equivalent of looking for the Easter Bunny.

I am very educated about the nature and histories of both parties. I don't know how you can make the assumption that I don't. Check out Bull Moose. If you want to talk about past evils look up which party it was that supported slavery, you might be surprised.

Who is Conway Twitty? I have a ridiculously large music collection and I am stumped. If he is some sort of pop country musician that parades around with a Ford logo on his guitar then I would have no idea who he is. More of a CCR guy, love Ryan Adams too. You are very perceptive, .45's are the best!!!

Our politics isnt perfect, but we question it, and argue it, and debate it, and recognise where our mistakes are.

What do you know, we do too.

yet your so quick to be "patriotic" and blindly praise an idiotic leader and his corrupt government, because we arent even going to go into the election fraud and the conspiracies, and the hoaxed second election videos. they were very clever, but lets not pretend they werent VERY dishonest and corrupt, borderlining on illegal.

Yes I am patriotic but that in no way implies that I am blind or an idiot. Show me where I gave praise. I didn't, you merely implied it because I decried the gross generalization of people who align themselves with the ideals of Republicanism (maybe you were only referring to the Reps. themselves but that is not they way your statement read). The Democrats are not angels and saviors of humanity they pretend to be. They just had a brush with some election fraud of their own in Minnesota, not to say it wasn't shady as hell on both sides.

After all that I guess what I'm trying to say is I just don't like it when my principles get attacked in a forum criticizing communism/fascism when they couldn't be more polar .

P.S. Greenday suck!

Glad there is some common ground. Yeah, they should stick to something they're good at like writing songs about masturbation instead of manufacturing dissent.

Any way I'm done with this, always down for more Green Day bashing tho, haha.

I've enjoyed this. you are indeed an interesting person to debate with.

I quite agree, but Clinton did alot of good, lowest unemployment in how long? Bush and his party undid ALOT of that.

It was my understanding there was a LARGE outcry from the left. however 911 allowed Bush carte blanche to do as he pleases, e.g. Patriot Act. I'll leave that topic there, becuase you guys get touchy about it.

as for the recession, that is relatively partyless, and also largely down to the lending companies allowing stupid finances, its also not just an american flaw, its the entire developed worlds fault, for wreckless spending, so that I retract.

As for the last bit, that's cool, i did not know that. it's interesting.

Don't be condescending and pretend like I'm an uneducated fool. Republicans are similar to Conservatives, really? Who would have guessed that? Thank God not all Republicans think alike. Some of us are even, I don't know if I should dare say it, PROGRESSIVE!

It wasn't a question in case you didnt get the semantics, its because although you may be familiar with your 80's history, you may not be familiar with OUR 80's history. the point of that paragraph was that Margaret Thatcher and EVERY British conservative before AND after STILL hasnt grasped the concept that it doesnt work, that was a criticism of British Tories, NOT you or americans. but good for you, for not supporting Bush, Im AMAZED he wasn't impeached, and how blindly everyone ignored the MASSIVE fraud against the nation. But as I say they did it very well, just not well enough to NOT get caught.

I'm not sure how my previous comment made me uneducated and yes it was direct. Much better to be direct then beat around the bush making agonizingly neutral statements like a Canadian (I love you Canada thank you for tolerating me for so long).

You are very perceptive, .45's are the best!!!

1) i dont get what Canada has to do with it, maybe i missed something.

2) I was, I criticised Blair heavily for whimsically committing us to war.

3) Don't pretend you have any more friends out there than anyone else, I've lost 1 friend out there, 1 other class mate, and I have 2 more friends still out there and 1 who was thankfully demobilised. nearly EVERYONE knows someone, talking about it doesnt = uncaring, i can also NOT agree with why we're there without somehow wishing harm to all involved. also we should not pretend we're out there righting wrongs, or solving injustices, North Korea / China's oppression over Tibet, Zimbabwe's tyrrany... if ONLY they had oil and maybe we'd care.

and yes I do indeed know that Abraham Lincoln, was a REPUBLICAN and VERY AGAINST SLavery... republicans are NOT evil, I get it, I also never said it. Republicans HAVE done good, I am sure, but right now, Republicans have done themselves a LOT of harm, and the democrats, while also not perfect because hey guess what THEY'RE A POLITICAL PARTY, is the lesser of two evils.

Conway Twitty: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conway_Twitty

country and western singer, kinda cheesy... i only know who he is through family guy, im more of a classic rock person, it just sounded funny.

.45 is indeed superior, and Ryan Adams does in-deed rock, no-one knows who he is when i talk about him.

Yes I am patriotic but that in no way implies that I am blind or an idiot. Show me where I gave praise. I didn't, you merely implied it because I decried the gross generalization of people who align themselves with the ideals of Republicanism (maybe you were only referring to the Reps. themselves but that is not they way your statement read).

After all that I guess what I'm trying to say is I just don't like it when my principles get attacked in a forum criticizing communism/fascism when they couldn't be more polar

I was referring to the Reps themselves, but I can see why that was misconstrued it was not clear.

I also wasnt trying to call either party fascist or communist.

I have enjoyed this, it's nice to finally have an intelligent conversation with someone who has an interesting opinion to share, who also knows how to have a debate. Thank you

Clinton did some good but the Free trade agreement Killed america's industry jobs , I mean just about every one of them, No more steel mills, no more factories, It cut americas industry by 75%. We don't Even make Basball caps anymore. Well I think there may be 1 company left in all of America. I can go and take you pictures of all the Empty factories up and down the ohio river. One after another, Its really Sad, when you watch something kill off your areas livelihood and you watch towns and small citys that once were a population of 1000 not left empty and they only have 150 people left. In the time since clinton passed that Damn thing I have watched towns that don't even have their name left anymore. There gone.

Bush did a couple of things right. He helped my children get a better education then I got when I was young, because I only had the choice of one school system, under Bush they were able to go to any school, even private schools and they excelled in school, when they couldn't have done that with out Bush. There isn't much he did good but that is one thing he did that I will always THANK him for it.

I feel sorry for the children going to school today, bcause Obama took away that choice and its very sad for the children in America.

Not disputing your statement as it leads nowhere - but can you explain the connection between politics, Europe and Green Day?

he also failed to register I was talking more about the Republican Party than the people, as the people have NO power... which is kind of the point of joining the repbulican party.


and he said greenday because they are a whiney preachy band that criticise everything and make it look cool, like U2, or Black eyed Peas, oh and Coldplay, whiney bands that preach pretencious BS, I AM with him on that part.

What I quite don't understand is the discussion about introducing a proper healthcare system. Obama is made look like a dictator who wants to mass murder old and handicapped people when quite the opposite is true.

Dammit, now I got involved in a political discussion...
