Can we agree to disagree?

[chequita guevara]

Not even in the U.S.

[zakubandit]

Why am I not surprised. Slow, we are not allowed to say what political affiliation we are, because they *liberals* are the ones who get to decide. I am a moderate but I am not one because I am a radical conservative in the eyes of the leftists, but the same leftists are allowed to call themselves whatever they choose. Hence the socialist who doesn't seem to want to call himself one.

As a side note, I just want to clarify something that I may be confused about. Maybe a liberal leftist can answer this. What kind of government is America?

[ricketyclik]

Two-party democratic, with both parties right of centre.

[chequita guevara]

I am a moderate

No, you're not a moderate. MrFun is a moderate. Rah, Imran, Kuci, Drake, are conservatives. Zkribb's a liberal. I'm a communist. You, Sloww, and BenK are reactionaries, so far to the right that you're practically fascists. The three of you continually write things that simply have no basis in reality. Only an utter moron would believe that Obama wasn't born in the U.S. Only a moron would believe that a public option is socialism.

We don't treat you like a moron cuz you're a right-winger. We treat you like a moron because you're a moron.

Look mate, Moderates do not say that Obama reminds them of Hitler(!), or believe there is a several-decades-long conspiracy to cover up the fact that he was actually born in Kenya.

You are a nutter.

Whoa, Che. That is very, very unfair to Sloww. He may be more to the right than Drake, for instance, but a fascist he is not. Neither is DinoDoc. They are middle-of-the-road conservatives, at their absolute extremes. And for that matter, Imran is a moderate.

[chequita guevara]

You can only say that because America has moved so far to the right that what was considered conservatism forty years ago is now called liberal.

See my sig.

[loinburger]

I had to turn off sigs, I got sick of seeing zaku's atrocious grammar.

"We don't have a 'left' and a 'right' party in this country anymore. We have a 'center-right' party and a 'crazy party'. Democrats have moved to the right, and the right has moved into the mental hospital." ~Bill Maher 6/19/2009

[Imran Siddiqui]

I'm not really a conservative, per se. On social issues, I'd likely be stoned by real conservatives. And I'm pretty moderate on fiscal stuff (support for some form of universal health care being the obvious on).

Though in the American context, calling me a moderate probably wouldn't work so well either (maybe just on fiscal stuff - moderate right).

To be fair, Bill Maher probably belongs in a mental hospital as well. After all, he thinks vaccines cause autism.

[Guynemer]

Seriously, don't get me started.

[loinburger]

I saw a program on the vaccines = autism doctor the other day. "Did you think that your objectivity might be called into question when you were paid fifty thousand dollars to find a link between the vaccine and autism by parents looking for support in their lawsuit against the drug manufacturer?" "No, it's absolutely absurd that people would call my objectivity into question." "How about when you tried to have an alternative vaccine patented, meaning that you would stand to profit heavily if the original vaccine were banned?" "No, it's absolutely absurd that people would call my objectivity into question."

[Guynemer]

At least a couple times a week, I have to talk parents down from the ledge regarding vaccines and autism... goddamn mother****ers... and **** what's-her-name, that washed-up ex-Playmate/"actress" who has been spouting that stupid bull**** in books and on Oprah and ****... god, I hate her. And Oprah. **** her too.
