Conservative site overflows with racist remarks about president's daughter

[Pam]

So you'll probably be hearing more from me soon

Some of your humorous artwork would also be welcome.

Other than dismissing the merits of capitalism, because liberals cannot substantively argue for the opposite [[socialism), they get frustrated and have little to say.

I'd sooner discuss the politics of teabaggery, which you seem to specialize in. And a Randian teabaggery at that. I'd sooner be socialist. At the very least it will be a better world. Although perhaps not for you.

[Lorax]

I saw a teabag with Rand's face on it recently, really funny.

I wonder if the Reich has realized that teabagging is what male strippers do to the bar patrons. Knowing their naivete with regard to popular culture made this revelation an incidental pleasure!

And all conservatives have to offer is whatever sound bites they hear on the ditto head shows,[[take your pick which one, AM radio forces them down your throats) since they are unable to apply logic and rational thought to their arguments.

Why argue with someone who is proven wrong repeatedly but still thinks he is right? Seems a waste of time for all parties, no?

[elganned]

Unless arguing in what you live for; then it seems like the perfect setup.

[ccbatson]

Good point Sarge, however, in a discussion, an erroneous and arbitrary argument cannot be allowed to stand.

[EastsideAl]

It's really quite disturbing what a hate-spewing freak show American conservatism has become. So much so that there's really not much at all "conservative" about it any more, just scary reactionary hysteria and xenophobia. This president, who was elected with a higher percentage of the popular vote than the winners of the previous 4 elections, particularly seems to make them insane, for reasons that sadly appear all too obvious from the comments made on the blog in question.

Then stop making it. We'll all be better off.

[ccbatson]

Hint...name calling is the big tip off Sarge. Do you see me doing that?

[Stosh]

I can recognize a few posters in this cartoon. can you?

[oladub]

Stosh, I get it! Socialists have a slave mentality and identify themselves as being their master's pets. So the cartoon is about if Libertarians were pets too. Bad pets!! Hahaha!!

[elganned]

If I'm a pet, where's my bone? I want my bone! Now, dammit!

and yours get shot down on a daily basis

[elganned]

But that doesn't seem to keep him from spewing them. Sad.

"Quitters never win, winners never quit. But those who never win but never quit are just idiots."

I'm glad that you recognized yourself in the cartoon.
Enlightning isn't it, seeing how you, and others, sound? Bad pets indeed.

[Lorax]

Great cartoon- you could insert "republican" for "libertarian" and it would have the same meaning, since libertarians are just republicans who want leagalized pot and no consequences for sleeping with underage girls. A patriarchial society populated largley by men.

Orwell nailed it in Animal Farm where all animals were equal except some were extra equal. They get the dachas, expensive private schooling, and pricey health care plans. Some never have to work a day in their lives. The rest of the animals aren't supposed to question how things came about . How come Master has all the wealth? How did the laws direct all the money into his pockets? Why did health care get more expensive everytime government limited competition and added new regulations. Never mind, the answer is more government. The answer is to serve Master because he is more equal than the rest of us and will provide for us. You betcha libertarians make bad pets and slaves.

Liberty, as in libertarian, is the opposite of authoritarian. Its no wonder that liberty sounds bad to good pets who don't want to leave the plantation.

elganned, I hear that the healthcare bone has some meat on it. It's mostly bone of course but it has huge meaty profit implications for insurance companies and pharmaceuticals.

If Orwell nailed the socialists, Milton nailed the libertarians:

"To reign is worth ambition though in Hell:
Better to reign in Hell, then serve in Heav'n."

Ah, but liberty is a heavenly quality for some and Thoreau, who was more into being left alone than reigning, had his libertarian qualities. I don't think he wanted to either reign in Hell or serve in Heaven.

[ccbatson]

Collectivism spoils Thoreau.

Libertarians are only mildly flawed philosophically. Politically, they are tragically flawed.

[Stosh]

You betcha libertarians make bad pets and slaves

They also make bad citizens as well.

Really your Animal Farm anology is flawed. An educated population prevents that sort of thing from happening. Realizing that the right wing is pumping swill down their indoctrinated follower's gullet is the first step of freeing yourself from their tyranny. Reject the iron grip of Rove and Cheney. Throw off your shackles and live free! [[LOL)

Which is why most libertarians worship Rand.

[ccbatson]

She hated them...called them the worst of the 3 main parties on many occasions. Why? Objectivism is not anarchistic.

[oladub]

Stosh writes, "They [[libertarians) also make bad citizens as well."

Close. They make bad 'subjects' in that they cannot be well controlled by throwing them an occasional bone. Too much like herding cats.
