Re: "Funny, three posts ago and you sounded like you wanted to eliminate most of gov't. Of course it was ME who must have misunderstood."
Obviously, it was you indeed, as your "sounded like" is something conjured up in your own mind as a result of your own notions, which others certainly would not extrapolate from my post.
My apologies......several posts ago you said you couldn't handle the level of gov't required by a compassionate conservative. You never did make clear what level of gov't you would find acceptable. However, like conservatives, I would expect most libertarians to believe the less gov't, the better. You, of course, are permitted to deviate from the norm if you like.
Re: "Sorry, guy, just a whole lot of words that don't mean a whole hell of a lot."
Oh, I'm sure they do mean a hell of a lot. The failure again, is in your own understanding, or failure to understand, IMO. Bill of Rights doesn't mean a lot? LOL. You will work against such, and are per your words, IMO. Doesn't mean a hell of a lot? LOL.
You make some big assumptions on very limited information. Maybe that's how you were so easily convinced of the import of toppling Saddam. A weak mind can be so easily swayed.
Do you have a weak mind, Dan B? I know you are capable of stringing a number of words together but that is not necessarily an indication of great intellect but might simply reflect the verbosity of a gossip.
Re: "dropping bombs on countries pre-emptively is not an act of freedom but one of tyranny."
False. Period.
Once again, Dan B. are you trying to control the direction of the conversation by ending a point pre-emptively? That's a bad habit you might try to grow out of.
"Pre-emptive" describes the reason, and it is an act of defending freedom indeed, certainly not one of tyranny.
Who's freedom do you think we were defending......certainly not our own? The Iraqis had no freedom to defend.
We shall not be tyranical in Iraq nor Afghanistan nor anywhere. The word simply doesn't fit with our general provision of freedom in these places. The word as you use it, is at odds with reality.
Is it? Did the Iraqis choose their governing council? Are the Iraqis being allowed to choose the form of gov't they want? Do the Iraqis have a say in where their oil is going and to whom and at what price its being sold? According to the administration, there are a number of reconstruction projects going on in the country.......which Iraqis approved them?
One man's freedom may be another man's tyranny. A word of advice..........you best get your facts straight before making conclusions that will only serve to make you look even more stupid.
And you say I'M confused? Yes, I'm well intentioned, you?
So what if you are well intentioned........if you are wrong, it will hurt no matter whether the aim was well intentioned or not.
In fact, I no longer care what were the intentions of Mr. Bush. They are wrong and they are hurting my country. For that reason, he must not win a second term. |
