In the Carboniferous Epoch we were promised abundance for all,

By robbing selected Peter to pay for collective Paul;

But, though we had plenty of money, there was nothing our money could buy,

And the Gods of the Copybook Headings said: “If you don’t work you die.”

Ceterum censeo Parthia esse delendam
Latin: “Furthermore, Parthia (Persia aka modern day Iran) should be destroyed.”

RG: When you rob Peter to pay Paul, you can be assured of Paul’s vote.

Leftie political philosophy, from a DU commenter:

It doesn’t matter if it’s true or not. RUMOR IS TRUTH. The modern laws of media hype and political warfare have a useful tenet: Repeat ANYTHING or raise false concern over ANYTHING and it is likely to be planted in the conscious/subconscious of many voters.

Conservatives are the only ones who care about people; we want them to be happy, successful and prosperous, and we don’t want to enslave them with govt handouts so that they will become dependent on us and will vote for us out of their need for those continued handouts.  It’s the lefties who treat those who they consider “the proletariat” like dirt.

Nobody wants to be a communist to be part of the proletariat; they all think they will be one of the ruling elite.

"A Republican that actually cares” = one who wants big government.

You might as well be honest about it Davinski.

Government: good.
Freedom: bad.
Deadly coercion: good.
Free choice: bad.

Drop the act and be honest for a change. Can you manage that?

Likwidshoes-- It’s a big world out there, and not everyone agrees with you on the issues. There is no need to question my integrity. If you think it is an act that I am concerned about sick people who die because insurance companies want to save money then you are way off base.

No. People suffer because they make poor choices.  The more you substitute govt mandates for individual power of choice, the more you enslave the people.

But it’s ok for Davinski to accuse most Republicans of not caring about the people.

By the way, what factual basis are you using to suggest that so-called “universal health care” is an improvement over what California already has?  There isn’t one.  Every example we have of such a thing, from Canada to Great Britain to “Romneycare” in Mass. has shown it to only make matters worse.

Einstein defined insanity as someone doing the same thing over and over again but expecting different results.  Liberals, by that definition, are nuts.

When the people fear their government, there is tyranny; when the government fears the people, there is liberty.

That’s a good point, Rob. We all need to knock off the cheap shots. If I had a nickel for every shot I took over here, I would be a wealthy man. I have been a traitor, homo,
commie, liar, jerk, Hater, totalitarian, and fascist to name a few.  Happy New Year. Peace.

Davinski - Likwidshoes-- It’s a big world out there, and not everyone agrees with you on the issues.

You’ve got a lot of nerve saying this right after you tell us that we don’t care if we don’t agree with your position. Davinski - It’s a big world out there, and not everyone agrees with you on the issues. Take your own words and apply them to yourself there, chief.

There is no need to question my integrity.

When you continually misstate the nature of our positions, there is every need to question your integrity. You don’t argue honestly.

If you think it is an act that I am concerned about sick people who die because insurance companies want to save money then you are way off base.

That wasn’t said nor implied. This criticism of yours is off base.

As said above, just be honest. Can you manage? You’re showing us that you can’t. You’re also showing us that you’re not above rank hypocrisy.

Now here’s where you dress me down for asking for the same considerations that you ask for yourself.

First of all, I don’t understand any of your rant; it is unimportant. I am not going to waste my time getting in a piss-fight with you. Let’s have a gentlemans agreement: no more cheap shots, and stick to the issues.  Peace.

And second?

Do not fear to be eccentric in opinion, for every opinion now accepted was once eccentric.

That’s okay Davinski. If you don’t agree, feign ignorance.

For the record, I wasn’t looking for a “piss-fight”. Rather, it seems that is what you were looking for when you said, “Is their a Republican that actually cares about the health and welfare of people?”

The implication is plain: If we don’t agree with your socialist opinion, then we must not care. We here at this website have been through that mindless mantra too many times to count. It’s a transparent tactic and one that won’t get you any respect.

“It is as if the socialists were to accuse us of not wanting persons to eat because we do not want the state to raise grain.”

If you wish to have “a gentlemans agreement” (or disagreement), then I’m sure that many here would welcome the change.

I am a democrat not a socialist. I believe it was you who used the word commie once when describing democrats. Change is a two way street. Until then, what is good for the goose is good for the gander. Suck it up. Read some of your posts. Mine are mild compared to yours. BTW, What is this we at this website stuff? This was between me and you. And that is my last word on this, Likwidshoe. Have a happy New Year.

Democrats endorse socialist policies. It is the bedrock of the party these days. Just look at what you’re advocating here with this post: socialist health care. So who are you trying to kid?

I believe it was you who used the word commie once when describing democrats.

Doubt it.

Change is a two way street. Until then, what is good for the goose is good for the gander. Suck it up.

So your behavior is dependent upon mine? Sounds...like a little kid’s answer. “But mommy, Johnny did it too!”

Read some of your posts. Mine are mild compared to yours.

I don’t really post. I can’t find most of what I have posted here as it is buried in the numbers of the front page.

BTW, What is this we at this website stuff?

I simply said that we here at this website have seen your tactic of argument before. Does that need explained further? It’s pretty simple.

This was between me and you.

I’m not the only Republican.

Why did you think this was about me and you? I didn’t know that it was that personal. Geeze.

I am a democrat not a socialist.

When the leader of your Party says things like: “I want to take those profits and use them for the common good.”, and when most of your funding comes from well-known socialist George Soros, if you’re not a socialist, you’re not in tune with your Party. When candidate Edwards advocates mandating his social programs, that’s pure socialism.  Wake up!
