Quote from CaptainObvious:
Now the bigger question. Who is winning? We both know that both parties are pandering to the extremists within their respective parties. Let's take a few issues.
Captial Punishment: Extremist view for the right. The obviously guilty of capital crimes should be executed within 24 hours of their conviction(which BTW would be my view). Other leftist commie view. Nobody gets executed regardless of crime committed. It gets negotiated. Who won? The left. Look at what we have. While some states do have executions, they take years, usually decades and millions of dollars in expenditures, muking up the entire system. Leftist victory.
War: Extremist view of the right. Wars should only be fought when complete and total annilation of the enemy is the accpetable outcome. Leftist commie view. We act as police, win hearts and minds, build schools and give the heathens indooor plumbing. It gets negotiated. Who won? Do I even need to be specific? Leftist victory.
Abortion: Why even waste the space? Leftist victory.
The economy: The right would have free market capitalism. The left would prefer socialism. It gets negotiated. Who won? This is a tricky one because many would say the right is winning. Actually the left is kicking ass again on this issue, and the wealthy elite on the right have said, fuck it, we make money either way, so who cares. So they privatized the profits while socializing the losses. If you understand that the goal of the left is to destroy the system, then you understand why Obama has done nothing to prosecute the financial terrorists that took us down. What should have been done to these people like Mozilo, Phil Grahm, Hank Paulsen, Greenspan, et al? See my opinon under Capital Punishment.
Issue after issue the left is winning and winning big. When you consider the whole point of radical leftism is to destroy our society, and you look and what these issues are doing to our society, the obvious conclusion is that the left is winning. I would say wake up America, but frankly it's too late. We went to sleep and were killed while dreaming of better days.
Well, with only a few hours left this looks like it'll be post of the day.
I don't think he's an idiot, just very frustrated trying to find new ways to defend the incompetency of this administration. He's only seen 5 years of it. These things take time. :eek:
