I am afraid that you did not read the link, which was written by someone with as far left political views as one can get.
No, I didn't. It is easy to draw such conclusions by simply looking at threads and quality of posts here at C-D itself. I don't need an article to tell me what I already observe, in abundance. Oh, and I'm sure the camera used to take the picture was also very liberal.
Quote:
When one is such an extremist, their "opinion" matters little, as it will be song and verse leftist propaganda with little introspection or thought. The only variance, as the article exemplifies, is the manner of delivery of the pre-processed propaganda.
Two people holding opposite extremist views will almost never agree. The least one could do is not to focus on the intent of the article, but the message it contains. Since you have read it, what points did you disagree with? I will even give you a starting point to consider. The author makes this point: 1- Fairness and harm are better values -- because they can be universalized
Do you agree/disagree? Explain your position.

Love or hate Michael Savage, he is not a reflex republican and has been an ardent critic of Bush as well. He is far from a nazi and is very quick to meter out a tongue lashing to ant-semites, thus his conflict with most liberals, who are generally very anti-semitic.
Nazis didn't limit their atrocities to Jews only (I'm assuming your reference to anti-semitism is about how Jews were treated). Hitler hated liberals and liberalism with a fervor. Although it hasn't been "advertised" much, and certainly not to be seen in mainstream media (much less the right wingers), Jews were about half of the millions who had to deal with the atrocities.
When you label a group in a derogatory way, the way Savage did, it speaks more of his mental state. Fortunately, he doesn't have the stature to do anything but scream out loud to those who march to his orders, or just listen to him in awe.

As they go around and around in circles in perpetual partisan warfare the globalist machine that threatens us all slowly and methodically builds an irresistible momentum.
YAY! Couldn't have said it better myself. No wonder you have a lot of rep points. One more for this one.

Any thinking, moral person might have felt that labor unions were just and necessary when they were first implemented. Same goes for women's rights. Who could argue that females needed to be protected from inequality? How about welfare for the poor and helpless among us? How about child labor laws?
The problem with them is they should all have had a shelf life. They should have expired. Instead, the labor unions have ruined the industries they work for, welfare programs have run amok, a kid can't get an after school job, and children are being raised in fatherless homes with absent mothers.
The difference between libs and conservatives is that conservatives recognize this and libs don't.
The Republican party I grew up with and was a part of weren't right-fighters...those who fight to the end for their OPINION, ignoring what is actually best for them and their neighbors personally. They were pragmatic.
They also genuinely believed that we are judged by how we treat the least among us (if you are Republican, you've seen this in the bible.) That, too, is gone. But then I grew up in the 60's-70's. Anyone remember the fair, caring, compromising Republican party I lost?

I see many caring republicans. I use to attend a rally that had McCain and Obama supporters before and even at tea parties now. There was always this homeless person there. Who do you think bought that guy a meal daily and who do you think would walk past him and not offer him a penny?
What arrogance of thinking that someone else should get to decide what is best for someone else.
Huh? I'm assuming you aren't responding to my post. Exactly where did I insinuate this?
It was in general
