Satcomm and Nixon

quote:

---

I can see that you aren't interested in serious discussion, but are only interested in disageement for disagreement's sake.

---

LOL, if that's not hypocritical, then I don't know what is.------------------

Are you going to respond to my Nixon post or not?

---

Curious. I'm wondering as to why you're itching so much for my response. You made a whole issue and debate out of one thing I said, simply because I didn't know where you were going with your previous statement. There's no need for me to respond, asA) I don't find the topic interesting because I don't care for the Nixon era. Aside from "All the president's men", as that was a cool story about good journalism.B) Your argument has already been refuted several times by my fellow "neanderthal narrow-minded conservatives".C) This thread has strayed into a character debate involving the Admin.I find all this distasteful. Maybe it's a chemical I can detect with my taste buds?------------------

I only persued this to make my point, which you seem to contest, that the "left", which you and other conservatives tend to blame for everything in this country, doesn't really exist.

---

I don't blame the "left" for the problems in this country. I blame the loss of personal responsibility and rampant liberalism.

quote:

---

At least, it is in no position of power or influence, so what goes on that is not to your liking is not the nonexistent left's fault.

---

It's not about that. I see a mentality that is rising in popularity in our country that is leading it into a bad direction.------------------

Like I said, What "rampant liberalism?"
Where are these swelling numbers of organized left-wingers, poised to take over the country and turn it into a giant commune?

​

The country is full of right-leaning and centrist capitalists that are more conservative than ever.

---

I am not talking about a political party. I'm talking about a mentality growing in our country, which leads to...

quote:

---

As for groups avoiding personal responsibility, you only have to look for the behavior of those large corporations (which are not really liberal, I don't think) to show where the country is going.

​

Greed and power will let people forget about being responsible if they think that they can get away with it.

---

I was not referring to groups, but to individuals.

quote:

---

Let's not forget the leader of the Republican Revolution, Newt Gingerich, who took divorce papers to his wife while she was undergoing cancer treatment in a hospital, and who got caught making some rather shady money while in office.

---

Hehe, I don't particularly care for Newt.

quote:

---

And our illustrious president, who was a alcoholic frat boy for half his life and who ran a couple of businesses into the ground before sobering up just in time to be installed in the highest office of the land.

---

That's quite a bit of smear tactics, don't you think? Although there are some things I don't like about this administration's policies, I still respect Bush as a man, and I respect his role as our leader.

quote:

---

So, you see you can't blame the lack of responsible behavior purely on the (hard to find) "liberals".

---

You misunderstood me. I don't blame "liberals" for loss of personal responsibility, I blame the concept and mentality of modern liberalism. It has crept into all political parties.------------------
