Who do you disrespect more neocons or people "who don't follow politics"

[forsmant]

Football is not on the top of your priority list?

 

[klamath]

Libertarians are rapidly over taking neocons as the worst in my book. If your are not interested in politics please don't vote.

 

[David40]

That's easy. Apathy is excusable because it's done out of hopelessness. A Neocon on the other hand wilfully and deliberately pursues the path of evil.

 

[anaconda]

Most of the people who vote for neocons are not really neocons. And they don't know it! It seems to me that the good ole boy red staters could be largely swayed to the patriotic notion of the Constitution and into a state of contempt for big government. I think if they could realize that they have been duped by their party they could easily be swayed.

 

[VoteForRonPaul]

I think the word "disrespect" is the wrong word to be used!
It is so pathetic that Ron Paul supporters get easily caught in such terrible situation where they look at any person who opposes their position with disrespect.

Some of Ron Paul supporters believe that they are the smartest most awakened minds in modern America and they have every right to do so but when you look at it from another side you will find a number of them still believe that on 9/11 three buildings made of steel fell for the first time in history and broke the laws of physics because of fire.

Although I call this so naive and shocking from people who think that they are the most awakened people but I still cannot carry a disrespect for them. I only start to carry disrespect when they show hypocrisy when they start to get violent and curse.

But to disrespect people just because they do not hold the same position is totally insane!

 

[Fox McCloud]

as much as I dislike Neocons, I dislike the one's who are totally ignorant way more; there's far too many people that I know who don't hardly know a thing about politics, don't care to know, and likely will never know--they just go through life taking what the world gives them, and nothing more....they don't stand for anything, they don't know anything about any issue, etc.

another group I don't like is "moderates" who straddle the fence on every issue imaginable...and at the same they take pride that their way is somehow better because it compromises and is not "extreme" in any measure....I cannot truly describe how much I do not like these people, because it shows an unwillingness to commit to any ideology (I'd rather deal with a socialist than a moderate). I forget where the quote was said and who said it, but it applies well to these people "moderation is a form of extremism".

 

[RJB]

Sheep are just stupid.

Neocons are pure evil.

 

[strapko]

The people I hate most are the ones who vote for popular candidates(Media/Celeb). I.e: Obama, and they insist he is change, it makes me want to puke in my soup. The ones who vote without knowing any of his stances on issue's; the ones who vote because of looks; the ones that have no logic i.e: Barrack wants to expand government programs, but give 95% people a tax break; the ones who do not understand economics.

An explanation of this statement would be helpful.

Here it is: I would remind you that extremism in the defense of liberty is no vice! And let me remind you also that moderation in the pursuit of justice is no virtue! -

I also can't stand people who think being "moderate" is a good thing. It's so much easier to argue with a socialist or war monger than it is a "moderate."

 

[LibertyOfOne]

The apathetic are smart. Deep down they know voting is worthless.

Go fish

Before, I was one of the ones that "didn't follow politics" as well. However, I wasn't one who willfully perfected ignorance like 90% of the people who don't follow politics. Once I was unplugged from the Matrix, that was it for me, no going back.

Since that time, I've lost interest in other "bread and circus" areas of my life, for instance college football. Don't get me wrong, I'm still a big fan, but I just don't think about it all day like before. Now my thoughts are filled with economics, politics, war, precious metals, guns, etc. Sometimes, the football type activities are a nice break from all the current affairs type activities, but I just can't put them at the top of my list anymore.

These are things that I've never thought of before. The downside of losing interest in certain areas has made me really irritated with people who refuse to loosen up their interest in those areas. By that I mean, the willfully ignorant football fans, not the people like myself who are just waiting to be unplugged.

So, my question is this, who irritates you more the neocons who you've got to at least give them some credit for being involved in things that matter or the idiots who want nothing to do with it?

Idiots?

A political essay that is partisan is by definition jargon. When compared to science, such political jargon is irrational.
A strong essay will be bipartisan in that it will know the opponent's view well enough to present it as a strong argument before offering an even stronger argument in response. Think of literature in this case: a protagonist in a story is only as sophisticated and strong as its antagonist. If the antagonist is an idiot, what does this have to say about the victorious protagonist who isn't an idiot? This methodology will always make for a very weak thesis statement.
Politics has no identity when it views the opponent as different in huge chunks. An example of these huge chunks are the stupid liberals all together on one side in agreement against all the stupid conservatives on the other in one accord. Science at least is in bipartisan agreement in what is accepted theory while it addresses anomalies in small chunks. Eventually a critical point is reached when enough small chunks offer up so many anomalies that a revolution in science takes place causing the old theory to be overturned and replaced with a new theory.
When it goes fishing instead, American Transcendentalism isn't dropping out of politics. American Transcendentalism is a bipartisan movement that drops out of the irrational game of partisan politics.

 

[youngbuck]

I respect neo-cons more. Want to know who I disrespect the most?

Those who are completely and utterly ignorant about anything political or governmental, but blindly and animately support and defend the neo-con agenda without really knowing what it is and calling it patriotic, while calling Constitutionalists unpatriotic commies. Yes, I have a few specific people in mind.

 

[BuddyRey]

Neocons, for sure. The people who don't follow politics are just blissfully ignorant (the lucky bastards) and thus, easily misled. The neocons *think* they're clued in, but they're really not. Not only that, but in general, they aren't even OPEN to learning new things or having their views challenged.

 

[Uncle Emanuel Watkins]

Let us present the truth about the Neocons

Neocons, for sure. The people who don't follow politics are just blissfully ignorant (the lucky bastards) and thus, easily misled. The neocons *think* they're clued in, but they're really not. Not only that, but in general, they aren't even OPEN to learning new things or having their views challenged.

But this is a very poor definition of who the true Neocon antagonist is. We should legitimize the cause of the Neocon to get a better understanding of them. These religious Christians were once conservatives and still are in a sense. They believe in God after all. They believe in Him to the point that doing so will benefit them. Give now to His plan so that in return one will eventually receive ten times that amount when they enter into the Kingdom of Heaven. The nation of Israel is home to God's people. So, we should give everything to its safe keeping.

In return, the pastor obviously receives a bounty in the money plate as he preaches this type of propaganda. This is what the people want to hear so this is what he tells them.

So, the importance of God's plan becomes more important than being an American. It is more important than the United States and its history of the Founding Fathers and its formal documents of The Declaration of Independence and The U.S. Constitution.

The purpose of God becomes more important than even the economy itself. If the nation must live in a shambles for the sake of God, so be it.

I went through the same metamorphasis years ago...

As to your question...I think the apathetic are our biggest obstacle. You can win over a neo-con every now and then and turn him into a warrior for liberty (I'm an example)...but an apathetic beer drinking sports addict is and will always be useless

 

[Uncle Emanuel Watkins]

Please note rule #3.

If we can't trust the people, then we should just bow down on our knees as slaves to tyranny.

Rule #1. Never have too many rules.

Rule #2. Hate is un-American.

Rule #3. Never blame the people.

Rule #4. Never use the political spectrum as a playing field to bicker about politics.

Rule #5. Never give an interview with the media that isn't spontaneous, unedited and unrehearsed.

Rule #6. As Protestants hold the singular Civil-Purpose of the Holy Word in the bible over the legal precedent rituals established by the authority of the Pope and the Vatican, Americans should likewise hold the singular Civil-Purpose in the Constitution over the traditional legal precedents established by the authority of tyranny.

Rule #7. As law abiding American citizens, we should prefer imprisonment, torture, death and the frangrance of an outhouse to the tyranny in a courtroom.

Rule #8. As a winning political campaign is a victory for tyranny, establishing a bipartisan American Movement is a victory for the people.

Rule #9. False American Movements are Administrations which fail to implement fresh measures while they dig up obsolete legal precedents from the past to implement.

Rule #10. The debt of the people should not be burdened with any legal counterfeit created by any foreign or domestic tyranny.

Rule #11. As legal lobbying on the Federal level benefits the rule of tyranny, the civil invention rewarded on the local level benefits the rule of the people.

Rule #12. There are 3 kinds of people: those with feeble minds who persecute people, those with immature minds who laugh about persecution, and those with the kinds of sober minds that get persecuted. To be an American is always to be the latter.

Rule #13. As our Founding Fathers established themselves on the foundation of a great history, tyranny establishes itself as its own greatness.

Rule #14. Taxes are created with the intentions of benefitting some while cheating others.

Do you mind?

Why are you so feeble minded?

Some of us enjoy independent thinking.

I disrespect the neocons more. At least politically ignorant people aren't trying to use the government as a tool to impose their will on others. Neocons are.
