Liberals & NDP

[RightWinger]

It is not hard to tell who the Liberals & NDP are. They are the ones who only post during the day. They use work time to post on these forums instead of working. That is why we are short on Conservatives on these forums. Most of the Conservatives are working.

My reason for being here is that I am self employed and in the oilfield and right now it is slow in the oilfield.

Uh, RightWinger, I happen to be a Liberal with a disability that keeps me out of the workforce. Shame on you for your comments.

[Digby]

I don't think any body minds helping someone with a disability.

what i mind is goverment power used to take working peoples money for no just cause . no body minds paying for folks who are down on their luck. if its not self induced or faked.Nobody minds paying for needed programs, but who wants their money wasted or stolen?

the problem is this liberal goverment uses the powers of goverment to just take for its supporters , after while they will break this countrys will to work when they can work .

Hey Sparhawk, are you in the advertising agency business?

I am an image consultant for Steven Harper

I am an image consultant for Steven Harper

Can you work harder then? I have met the man and found him, to be engaging, funny and very bright. You sir should be fired because he has been getting killed all week.

I will have to talk to the hiring crew in the party and make sure the screening is more stringent.

Is your reason for being here also to post idiotic and pointless insults? Well mission accomplished then, so now you can go your way.

Every insult has a point Sweal! So kiss my ass! Does anyone know what the hell a sweal is?

Also, newbie where in the hell do you get the idea I was cutting you up? I have yet to say anything bad about the programs to support the disabled or the disabled in general. SO shame on you for your comments!!

If you have a problem with me because of my pro Conservative comments, well then maybe we have grounds to discuss, otherwise none of this was directed your way. BTW newbie, one of my close friends in a disabled and confined to a wheelchair, yet he is a salesman for a bunch of oilfield companies and he does extremely well! Not that I am knocking you for not being in the workforce.

What sets me off is able bodied people who don't WANT to work, when they are desperate for workers here in Alberta.

And yes Digby, come on out, we'll find you a job!

From RightWinger: "... They use work time to post on these forums instead of working. Most of the Conservatives are working..."

So quit making such general comments already. You imply that (all) Liberals and NDP's who post during the day are posting and not working. Have you heard of alternate work hours? How about shift work?

Just what I'd expect. In the words of Pete MacKay, "dogs are loyal."

Maybe we need to quarantine some folks here.

In Cuba I have herard that they quarantine you if you have aids.

In Canada perhaps we should quarantine people if they veer too far right of the political mainstream. Then after a reasonable period of time with some deprogramming, these right wingers could be released back into society and hopefully they will not do so much damage to society after being quarantined for a few years.

What makes you think that anti-liberal remarks somehow equate to pro-conservative?

Your comments were nothing more than a pile of childish gibberish, meant only to insult those whom you know nothing about. I'm ashamed you even claim to represent the right.

Pol Pot? He was about as anti-liberal as you can get.

Liberal motto: Live and let live

Conservative motto: Live my way or you're a useless liberal

Pol Pot Motto: Live my way or die (Or maybe just die cuz I don't like your face).

You confuse left with totalitarianism - which is neither right nor left in itself, but evil no matter which way you slice it.

Excuse me for being ignorent, but who/what is Pol Pot?

And also, may I ask why all conservatives are generalized as having a motto like that? I consider myself conservative but I in no way want everybody to believe my beliefs... if everyone conformed to believing the same thing there would be no diversity and original thought. I think that for the most people, no matter their political tendency, just want their views to be understood, respected, and taken into consideration. If that's your view of all conservatives then so be it but I don't think that you should generalize a whole political contingency like that.

Anyway, if you could maybe define "Pol Pot" then I may better understand your point and why you would label all conservatives like that. Thanks.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Sorry, let me make an adjustment here...

Liberal motto: Live and give us all your money, so that others who don't work quite as hard may live.

Conservative motto: Live and let everyone be responsible for their own lives.

Pol Pot Motto: Live my way or die.

1 for 3 ain't bad.

Pol Pot had a dream, a wonderful dream, of all the people living on farms, growing their own food and living in simple brotherhood with each other and nature. No more evil capitalism. No more ownership. No more industry belching fumes and pollution. The simple life.

Don't tell me most of the lefties on this group don't get a tear in their eyes at the thought.

And, of course, No impure thoughts or opinons permitted. If you were really lucky you wound up in a re-education camp and might survive for a while. Elsewhise you got a bullet in the head and wound up fertilizing next months' rice crop.

Sorry, but you fail the conservative test - you are in fact a closet liberal.

Or rather, should I say the neo-conservative test. True conservatives are a rare breed these days. Most are re-packaged Reform party types.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Pol Pot was the leader of the Khmer Rouge in Cambodia (Red Hand), a US backed, supposedly socialist dictator who killed millions of people. Typically anyone seen as a liberal, schoolteachers, politicians and the like. Those lucky enough not to be murdered outright were sent for re-education. If they didn't seem to be responding to the brainwashing they were killed anyway.

Pol Pot was a staunch US ally against the USSR and North Vietnamese, which is why you probably never heard of him. Mass murdering dictators only get talked about in western media when the US administration doesn't like them. The "friendly" mass murding dictators are left alone.

Why is that? Because he is apparently ignorant of basic political history?

Pol Pot was the leader of the Khmer Rouge in Cambodia (Red Hand), a US backed, supposedly socialist dictator who killed millions of people.

And who says lefties don't have a sense of humour!? Stating that Pol Pot, noted Communist and allie of the Red Chinese, was a "US ally". I know that PatM is trying to troll with this one, because no one would be stupid enough to believe Pol Pot was a US ally.

Pol Pot was a staunch ally of the Communist Chinese. In fact, I don't believe the US EVER had a staunch Communist ally. Even your own cite points out he was a Communist and an ally of the Chinese and, in the beginning, the North Vietnamese Communists

I'm not sure if you're trying to gull a newbie, or can possibly be this stupid. Would you care to set us all straight?

What a howler that is. Except that it's not funny at all.

Be careful what you read in Wikipedia (and elsewhere too for that matter). BTW, the French version of the same article is entirely different.
