Wait a minute. Facisim was a nazi ideology based upon taking land and goods from other countries to pay for socialist policies.

When did we take the land we invaded?

He isn't a facisit, and he is barely a socialist. Liberal, yes. Neo con or progressive, probably. Nazi, no.

No.

But I have progressed from an unquestioning "low information" Republican to an independent.

On this forum, that makes me at least a socialist.

Ha Ha Ha.

True, but, in real life it makes you more likely to vote for a Republican in 2012 than Obama.

I don't call them names because they disagree with me, but because the names are appropriate descriptors, as their conduct so demonstrates.

Why do liberals always want to crawl on the back of, and enjoy the fruits of the labor of SOMEONE ELSE???

Pablum, pure and simple. Nobody owns Paul except Paul. Most Americans are happy to live here, have the wonderful jobs they do so they can buy houses, cars, boats etc., Your USA-view seems a bit myopic.

If Paul is a slave to anything, he is a slave to his own wants and desires, and to his Uncle (Sam).

Why ask? I didn't think conservatives could tell the difference anyway. But no, I'm centre left, moderate, and there I'll probably stay.

But thats only when they disagree with you, and usually have proof backing up their statements.
