You and I both dislike Reagan and his politics. We just disagree on Nixon. Nixon was corrupt as hell.
1. Let's do what is good for the country first and the world will benefitVs2. Let's do what is best for the world first and america willl benefit.
I thought accepting somalian refugees only benefited Somalian refugees. If not what is the let's argument for why somalian refugees benefit America?
Pimps can be left wing. More left-wingers support legalised prostitution than right-wingers.
Policies that harm America, liberals don't mind because it improves the world. For example carbon taxes harm America because we end up exporting our carbon emissions to China. It benefits china because they take our jobs and our money goes there, but it hurts america, and democrats think the extremely marginal impact on the environment is worth it because of how global warming effects other countries.
You are basically just using rhetoric to say you disagree with me, while when you explain yourself further it proves you actually do agree with me.
It took a Hitler to bring 75 years of crippling FDR reforms to the Constitution about what the government can control in your life.
What is it with conservatives and their view of the government as some boogeyman coming to intrude upon us?
This 'attack first, defend later' media war-front is much more seen in the 'Western world' whereas Eastern cultures operate either via censorship or defensive media, celebrating achievements, speaking well of the intentions of politicians etc.
Then we have the Ancaps/Libartarians, who was almost as popular as position 2 and on official surveys often out-populate the nationalists because most nationalists tend to be 'in the closet' about their true agenda. The first problem is that Libertarians often deny they are Ancaps, since Ancaps are much more pragmatic and ruthlessly honest about their agenda, while Libertarians sugarcoat the 'dog eat dog' anti-harmony ethos they are trying to foster behind 'freedom for all' mantra. Libertarians tend to be very naive about what happens when you remove restrictions on the rich and/or normal to prey on the poor and/or minorities. Unrelenting Freedom is their top priority.
Also the opposite of themselves, since unrelenting freedom always becomes survival of the fittest which then becomes tyranny via brute force rule.
If it isn't inherently benevolent than is grey parrot justified in thinking we should be cautious about how much power we give to government?
