That is all.

What I'd like to see is a poll, Bush v Jesus, to see who people would go for.

bush duh, jesus is soft on defense and bush is a good christian leader

Buddha should be a third party candidate.

Funny, but I saw this posted here earlier. :)
I'm surprised anyone can remember any single Bush thread on this board. Here, have a box o' Bush; I bought them in bulk from jolt.co.uk public forums > Massive Multiplayer Online Games > NationStates > Anything & Everything > General.

Funny, but I saw this posted here earlier. :)

I would vote for the Buddah.

A vote for Buddha is a vote for Bush. :(

A vote for Buddha is a vote for Bush. :(Ah, but is it a vote in a swing state?

I would vote for the Buddah.

if you meet the buddha on the road, vote for him?

I'm pretty much voting for Bush because I'm against the people who hate Bush - essentially, people of the Left. I don't distinguish between international socialists and national socialists in this regard, as I don't see much of a difference between Nazism, Bolshevism, Stalinism, Trotskyism, Maoism, or similar forms of modern secular feudalism, such as is practiced in Indochina, North Korea and Cuba.

In my memory, I've never seen the Left as insulting and abusive as they have been since the fall of the Soviet Union, and especially in regards President Bush. Hearing Left-wing activists suggest that President Bush ought to be killed, at his inaugural no less, was particularly galling. If anything, it's made me favour Bush even more.

I really don't understand how pro-Kerry supporters think they can win people over with insulting and abusive language. I'd suspect, after the legacy of the 20th century, that they would do everything in their power to distance themselves from the Left. Instead, this "liberation theology" piece.

No doubt I'll be called an idiot for posting this up.

I won't call you an idiot, but I do wonder if you can prove that anyone actually suggested that Bush should be killed at his inaugural and if you really think that's the standard thinking for the left in the United States?

Not all liberals are communists/socialists. Apparently, you have a limited understanding of politics. Oh, and hating Bush doesn't automatically make one pro-Kerry.
I hate Bush, but Kerry as well (although to a lesser extent). I lean left on most issues (especially social ones), but I'm for gun rights, capital punishment, and small government. I lean right on most fiscal issues, too.
See, I'm one of the few people who don't blindly adhere to a black and white perception.

the left has been far kinder to bush than the right was to clinton. they've almost never attacked his wife. they rarely sport bumper stickers claiming the head of some liberal organization is "their" president instead of bush. they rarely accuse him of political murders in the us.

Not an idiot, just ignorant.

1) how can "the left" be insulting? It's a political leaning. Democrats can be insulting. Individuals can be insulting. Groups of people can be insulting. Saying "the left" is insulting is like saying "that fucking right, they always eat pancakes for breakfast!" See how silly that sounds?

2) I've never heard that Bush should be killed...in all seriousness. I've heard jokes, of course-because people like to joke about killing others. I mean, how many people hate Bill Gates? There must be half a bajillion death threats aimed at him.

3) Do you honestly believe that "the left" is the only attacking force here? Bush has MORE negative ads out there then Kerry does. I've been told several times that I am a-and a quote-"Tree hugging fag lover." What else? Ah yes, "Terrorist supporter shit head." That was a fun one. Or, lets stick with the classics. "Fucking pinko commie liberal."

Both sides hate each other, but I've seen a LOT more hate aimed at Kerry then at Bush from their sides.

LMFAO. Thank you Chess Squares, thank you. Ah, the hypocrisy of Christians.

I take all those insults as compliments. If I'm being insulted by so many ignorant conservative assholes, then I must be doing something right. Fuck them, I had to live with them for an entire year. That sucked so much ass.

Dang, a libertarian :(
Oh well, at least we can agree socially.

Heh. Yeah, actually I'm far left in the personal/social issues.
And although I'm fiscally conservative (as far a allowing economic freedom) I hate big business as much as I do big government.

How DARE you even think to say that Nazi's and Socialists/Communists are the same! You clearly have absolutely no grip of politics whatsoever; leaning on your thouroughly un-thought-through ideas is something you rely on, i guess. I don't care, that's your choice, to be ignorant.... but at least learn some basics. We are different...and we hate each other.

Im also quite scared to think that people's minds have been so terribly warped by previous American governments. If you truly believe that you should make enemies of all people that lean left...then i beg to do actually do some reasearch for once. Do you even know what we stand for? Or do you just follow the easy path, and go with the idea that we were somehow born 'evil', and will go out of our ways to make life painful for absolutely everybody else?

Not the same? Oh no?

Do you know what would happen if you put a Nazi and a Communist in a high speed particle accelerator and sent them speeding at eachother at half the speed of light and they collided? Do you know what you'd get?

Cheers. A lot of cheers from the spectators. :D

I know, I'm also extremely far left, but the way that your political views goes puts you closer to Libertarianism than anything else. (letting people do whatever the hell they want, being for economic freedom [which I actually like if it is done by a small business] and pushing for a smaller government.

I would say that you are still a libertarian though. But that's ok, I had a very good discussion with one today. It was quite a bit of fun.

Hey, leave us Communists alone. Our idea is (contrary to popular belief) capitalism that everyone gets to enjoy. That is actually the whole concept. We can't help it if the "Communists" who got into power were authoritarian dickfaces, who hated capitalism. Our idea was to turn the advantages of capitalism over to everyone! Not to ban trade! I mean, that's what the whole Shared Ownership of The Means of Production was all about! It was about both you AND your former boss getting wealthy.

Oh, absolutely. But it's a doomed concept. Communsm doesn't take into account a single factor that dooms it from minute one: You have to involve people. They'll take a good and noble idea and screw it up every time. :D

Of course I'm libertarian, albeit slightly more moderate and left-leaning than the average one. :)

Im afraid he is right communism is a great theory which would work well if it wasnt for the fact it needs humans to run it an humans are in essance greedy. Put one person at the top and the whole equal sharing system collapses from the top down. Id love to live in a communist country but never will, as it will never truely exist :(

Christ's teachings are very similiar to the general ideas of socialism, so has he failed as well?

Depends what he was trying to accomplish. If he just wanted to get his message out, then he did a pretty good job. Because everybody knows who he is, and everybody has thrice-translated fourth-hand accounts of things that some guy say he said. So that's good. Certainly better received than Herod's message, that fat bastard!

Anyhoo... if his goal was to live a long and happy life and have a couple kids, then he didn't do too well. He got nailed to some lumber. Pity. Because he had a lot to say.

Christ's economic policies were vague to say the least. He beat the shit out of a banker, though. Pretty cool. He seemed to frown on greed. I'll agree with that. You really only need so much money. One can only buy so many Bentleys, you know?

Disregard my comment anyway. It was just a weak, cheapshot attempt to defend a system I don't even believe in myself. It was a knee jerk reaction, and I deleted it right after.

But anyway, a socialist/communist system might work if it was democractic, with elections, checks & balances, and whatnot to prevent corrupt and oppressive leaders from rising to power. Maybe.

Anyone who would vote for Bush over anyone is an idiot. If this was a pole, I would not vote, as I'm not religous and I hate Bush.

the left has been far kinder to bush than the right was to clinton.

Well said!
