Dred Scott Redux: Obama and the Supremes Stand Up for Slavery

[Theben]

Wow. Considering how little I really hoped for from this administration, I really didn't expect this level of ****tiness from it.

[David Floyd]

I, on the other hand, expected every level of **** from this administration. In that sense, Obama's ability to look past political rhetoric and actually act on what is right for the nation is encouraging to me.

In other words, if both Bush and Obama argue in favor of the same thing, when Obama campaigned against that same thing, odds are that they both know something we don't. I'm gonna go ahead and give both of them the benefit of the doubt on this, for pretty logical reasons.

[Theben]

Those reasons being you're a soulless freak?

[David Floyd]

No, because I firmly believe that as much as I might disagree with many US Presidents, they have access to information I don't, and, more importantly, they genuinely want what is best for the US and try to act in that manner.

[Theben]

So you agree with all the actions of every president since Wilson?

[C0ckney]

I'd rather be right than consistent.

well you are a consistently crap libertarian...

you've just turned into a facist who thinks it's ok for the police to beat people or governments to torture 'radical muslims'.

[Boris Godunov]

But regardless of all that, you ARE a soulless freak, DF.

[David Floyd]

So you agree with all the actions of every president since Wilson?

No, I just don't necessarily question their motivations. Jesus.

[David Floyd]

well you are a consistently crap libertarian...

Congratulations. I'm not a Libertarian, really. I'm Libertarian in many economic matters, and a firm right wing hawk in foreign policy/security matters.

[Berzerker]

the opposite of libertarian on foreign policy

[David Floyd]

Absolutely. Libertarian foreign policy is retarded.

[Berzerker]

libertarian foreign policy didn't give us 9/11, the right wing hawks stepped in that one

[David Floyd]

Libertarian foreign policy = weak defense, open pickings for dictators. Think: Neville Chamberlain/appeasement.

[Darius871]

I'd rather be right than consistent.

Bonus points if you know who said that

I'd wager all of my bonus points that you don't even know.

[C0ckney]

Congratulations. I'm not a Libertarian, really. I'm Libertarian in many economic matters, and a firm right wing hawk in foreign policy/security matters.

so a facist then, essentially...
