I AM tired. If it was a better game and I had a lighter beer than Fat Tire I wouldn't be so despondent from a lack philosophical response to the question of which is leftist versus which is righ wing knowledge, reality, and existence when it comes to existential freedom.
Oh well. Fuck it.
So. To bring this back to the original topic of the thread: imagine an American society of a strict reading of the Constitution against an evolving view of the Constitution.
Scalia was a scum bag. Just had to throw that out there.

Read this and maybe the truth will sink in, although I doubt it. Originally Posted by lustylad

Would you?How much should we pay in taxes for the greater good? That's a hard question to answer. I think first we must define what is "The Greater Good". I think you might get several definitions of that. Our so called leaders define it for us. I think it might have something to do with how deep their pockets are. At the end of the year if I can break even or get a little bit back that's a win for me, at least until I can find a better plan. The Government is like a slot machine it's really not designed for you to win.
This thread has taken a philosophical turn at Albuquerque.
Three to zero in favor of Mexico.

You fucked up in your statement, admit it.
You brought up Nambla, tree huggers, etc. to try and disassociate yourself from the far left while maintaining your far left persona.
The initial response was perfectly logical in that you were attributing those attributes to the far left in general, otherwise, why try to differentiate yourself from them.
You were called out and now you are trying to pretend you didn't actually "say" that.
Sorry, "it's what I said, but not what I meant" is not an excuse.
When I was young, I called my father a "motherfucker" one day. I tried to explain to him that I meant it as a term of endearment as in "fucking my mother". The obvious meaning was otherwise. See. Originally Posted by eccielover

It would also, I believe, help explain why people on each side of the spectrum may feel closer affinity with others on the same side even if, in principle, there are some people on the other side of the spectrum who are theoretically more closely aligned.

Riiiiiiiiight!! Can't fight the "winds of change". Can't fight the "incoming tide". You fucking progs always imagine yourselves to be the wave of the future. You're too blind and stupid to see that the future you want to force on the rest of us is an ugly dystopian one. The winds constantly shift and blow in many directions. The tide always rolls back out.
They're your pals, not mine. Remember - you put them on the far left, next to yourself. Better run down to your local library now and see who is prowling in the childrens' books section. Uh-oh! Do you let your kids browse the stacks? Originally Posted by lustylad
