We're six pages into this thread. I don't think Tones can be convinced.

That's only because she is SOOOOO open minded.<IMHO>

tones is a she.

Well that certainly may explain a lot.

I'll make the correction.

Thanks!

Huck pretends to follow Reagan, but he is for big govt, a police state, high taxes and govt intervention in our personal lives. Then he implies he believes in self govt!!! Fuckin' Neocons are so far from being conservative that it is absurd.

The problem is Reagan preached all those things to get elected, but he didn't exactly practice what he preached:

Reaganomics, as enunciated by Reagan himself before the convention and by conservatives generally, promised the following program: a sharp cut in the federal budget, a drastic cut in income taxes, a balanced budget by 1984, deregulation of the economy, and return to a gold standard. Reagan has managed to convince both conservatives and liberals, and the American public, that he did accomplish the first and second points of this list. For a year or two, it was hardly possible to watch news on TV without watching some bozo wailing about how he and the rest of the world were about to come to an end because the federal Scrooge had cut his budget or his grant. Conservatives bought this myth because they wanted to see Reagan accomplish what he had said he would; liberals were happy to adopt it so that they could wail about how Reagan was causing untold misery and starvation by his drastic cuts. Actually, the budget was never cut; it has always skyrocketed under Reagan. Reagan is by far the biggest spender in American history. He is also the biggest taxer. Taxes were never cut. The piddling and, much publicized income tax cut was always, from the very beginning, more than compensated by the programmed Social Security tax increases, aided by "bracket creep," that sinister system by which the federal government prints more money, thereby causing inflation, and also thereby wafting everyone into a higher tax bracket, whereupon the government completes the one-two punch by taxing away a greater proportion of his income.

Huckabee's "Disease"

"Bipolar politics has always been Huckabee’s strongest suit. No one is better at saying one thing, doing the opposite and getting credit for both, of talking small government and actually promoting big government. Huckabee can do that in Arkansas, a peculiarly bipolar state where people think of themselves as conservative but like populist stands. "

That's an interesting article, and it explains well why Huckabee contradicts himself in his attacks on libertarianism. I think his biggest problem is that he confuses "libertinism" with "libertarianism," a common mistake which he shares even with certain members on these forums.

YOu have a problem with Christians...that's the bottom line. You are haters of Christians. There is not ONE thing that Huckabee said in that interview that was not constitutional. You people just dispise christians. I find you a bunch of closed minded nuts. You need to work on your OWN LITMUS tests as far as religion goes. He was SPOT on ...in everything he said. I wonder about your ability to reason...or if you just automatically shut down his words because you know he is a Christian minister. Foolish people. Tones

You are the foolish one. Go support you big government neo liberals like Fuckabee and McCain.
I hope you enjoy watching your liberal heroes like McCain and Fuckabee join Obama Hillary etc and vote to murder millions across the world while forming the NAU.

You make me sick


And while I hate religion, I do not hate Fuckabee because he is Christian. I hate him because he is a liberal who wants to murder people.

"I find you a bunch of closed minded nuts."

Religious people are the close minded nuts.

"I wonder about your ability to reason"

You are the one who does not have the ability to reason.

And a "Christian" preacher ( so called ) to boot, a common mistake which he shares even with certain members on these forums.

Notice how tonesforliberals ignored this post exposing Fuckabee as a murdering liberal.

No YOU have decided huckabee is a tyrant. Closed minds...non compromising. I saw absolutly NOTHING wrong with what Mike Huckabee said in that interview. When he said "less police" ..what i understood him to mean is that we can't have less police unless there is a moral society and more individual responsibility. I saw nothing wrong with what he said . He flat out said morality should not be legislated. Go listen again. He said strong families, who live by moral codes are better for society and it can be and should be done through education. i would say PARENTS educating their children. I find NOthing wrong wiht it. He is for parents choosing how to educate their children...do you not agree with that? Does Ron Paul not agree with that? I don't know what you are hearing..but it certainly isn't what i am hearing. i do not fear christians. That's the difference...and i could care less if i am popular on this forum..therefore I'm not subscribing to the rampant GROUPTHINK. TOnes

 

[SnappleLlama]

Priceless! LOL!

 

[Knightskye]

Rangley..he said nothing of the kind. please go listen again.

WRONG!

Tones, he says exactly that.

Starting at 10:58 in the video: "And in a perfect world, we would have almost no government at all, except to protect our borders, and to make sure that we had a national defense - maybe a road system. Other than that, we would govern ourselves; we would care for our own families. We wouldn't have a bunch of government that would tell us what to do, how fast to drive, where to walk; we wouldn't need it. But because some people don't want to live within what ought to be the basic rules of 'Do unto others as you would have them do unto you,' that's where we create government."

ORLY?
