It really doesn't help your position, when you inform a person trying to find out your position, who is asking for facts, that he is merely self-deluded and a sheep to the views of others. That won't convince anyone. Evidence does help, just a little. And yes, I realize he was being facetious...

You expect me to read a paper with a 12,000 word count, from a guy with little credibility? I don't have the time, I've wasted enough here already. You say it is a clear and obvious fact. And you do realize how absurdly wrong those figures I posted (and he said) were, right?

You're the one aggressively making the claim that it is fact, and the burden of proof lies solely on you. Just because I do not support your belief that he was a communist doesn't mean that I am ignorant. If you have such proof, give it to me. I am not going to search for it, as I have already...

I have studied this issue a fair deal. I have never seen any hard evidence that he was an avowed Communist. I mean, Henry Wallace was really leftist, but you're saying that Roosevelt was conclusively a communist. If it is a fact, prove it. Claims like that should not by idly made.

In all due respect, that is opinion, not fact.

Well, we did gain perspective in our intervention after World War Two, but we were plenty interventionist before that, in our realm of influence. Under presidents before World War Two, starting at least with Teddy Roosevelt, we were extraordinarily aggressive in Latin America. Countless coups...

I have clearly and repeatedly identified what I think a victory would entail. A victory would be where we "render the organization operationally ineffective". A victory would be where the opposing ideology cannot continue to pose a serious threat to our nation. And I believe that ideologies...

Israel threatens Iran that a continuation of pursuing nuclear means will result in an attack on the facilities, obliterating Iranian efforts to do whatever the hell they're trying to do. Iran begs to the UN, asking them to make Israel stop. The UN will never do anything of any significance. So...

Any more serious discussion, or do you guys just want to continue engaging in the vague pronouncements of which we so love to bash Obama? And Andrew-Austin, as I have repeated a number of times on this thread, I am NOT saying it is necessary or even possible to kill every ideologue. We just...

haha. That is the exact point I was discussing with said Ron Paul supporter, in the OP. He disagreed with what you just said was "common sense". He told me to come here, and discuss it with you all. And it seems that some here do not agree with you and me. Some seem to think that these...

A whole realm of thought, such as conservatism or statism, or leftism, cannot be destroyed, but even that can be suppressed and kept weak, if a specific government takes action, which some have. I am just saying that specific ideologies, such as Hitler's National Socialism, the radical militant...

Just a quick response, but... Read what I already posted, please. Militant expansionist communism was defeated. The Chinese, by mere virtue of communist ideals, are no threat to America. They abandoned the conflict/militant Communism, and merely use their current bastardization of communism...

The fact that the war may have been wrong does not mean that the withdrawal was easy and successful. The war may have been a failure, but the withdrawal wasn't good either. I am not blaming the train. I am just saying that we should not point to the train hitting someone as something good, just...

What questions have not been answered? I apologize. I was just temporarily frustrated because I wanted to know whether, if I provided hard examples of an ideology being defeated, you all would agree that it was possible. I will in any case provide a list of such cases later on, when I've got...

I'll try to watch the videos when I have more time. As to the prediction of my views... Yeah, I believe government generally damages the economy by unneeded intervention, and is inefficient and wasteful. In some cases intervention must be done, but carefully and only when necessary. Socially, I...
