OT- Discussing politics with friends…

[Arraya]

And Killing and killing and killing. It’ll be genocide

Let’s see:

Gulf war 1-100K + dead
US encouraged Shia rebellion-50K dead
90s sanctions-500K dead
Gulf War II-250-500K dead. 2 million displaced. Infrastructure destroyed.

It may already be genocide. With liberators like this who needs enemies?

Getting back to the original post – a liberal is someone who can never stop prattling on and on about George Bush, and who pollutes every forum – even real estate forums – with their views.

OP’s mention that someone thought Obama is scary cause he didn’t wear a flag pin is either a canard, or their friend was joking.

Throughout the rest of the posts you can see why people don’t talk about politics openly. If you think some good might come out of displacing Saddam – like maybe if one side of your family is Kurdish – you’re labeled pro-Genocide. Though Saddam killing Kurds really was genocide.

“Peace” is 56 years old but can’t tell her own mother that she’s going to see Cindy Sheehan speak. Hilarious. That tells you all you need to know about the left wing of the political spectrum.

I quit talking about politics with hardcore liberals because their views are so unnuanced. It’s not enough that I’m in favor of a citizenship program for illegal immigrants, I must welcome millions more immigrants and pay taxes to support them and if I don’t smile about it I’m a xenophobic racist. It’s not enough that I agree with universal health coverage, it must be Hillary-Care run by bureaucrats. It’s not enough to believe in education, it must be the NEA’s vision of education, which is simply a jobs program for teachers.

It’s not enough that I believe George Bush is a tool and a fool – to a liberal I must loathe him every waking moment.

That’s why I can’t talk to liberals. Because it’s not a discussion, it’s just a one way rant from them.

Iraq II’s been going on for 5 years. Pelosi, Reid, et al haven’t lifted a finger to block funding. If liberals can’t even convince their own party leaders to change course, maybe they’re *gasp* wrong.

I had a high school teacher in 1969 who explained that democracy is not necessarily the best government for everyone – he argued that dictatorship may be the best system for some countries. I believe that Iraq may be one of those countries, when you have tribal / ethnic / religious peoples who historically clash, and who want it to stay that way, then there needs to be a powerful figure to lay down the rules, hopefully a “benevolent” dictator.

Yup. Some cultures are only stable when the leaders do their political thinking for them. I think there are probably only two ways to fix Iraq: getting another (probably ruthless) dictatorial government in place, or spending gadzillions of dollars to split it into three or possibly four countries and build walls between them. If the kids refuse to learn to play well together, you have to either scare them into submission or separate them.

That’s why I can’t talk to liberals. Because it’s not a discussion, it’s just a one way rant from them.

I feel this way about both sides. If someone is closed-minded enough to be far left or far right, I just write them off as ignorant and move on.
