Quote from: Maltese;1442217before WWII, the only thing the republican party represented was a party that would stay at home, and help out the american people, and become isolationist, and stay out of the affairs of other nations, which they had so criticized the british empire for doing.

now, the republican party is intent on helping only the wealthy, running on a purely religious campaign, while attempting to police the world

They weren't always like that. That was a very short period of time.
From Lincoln to Taft, besides Cleavland, it was all republicans, and that was the era of massive expansion and imperialism.

but even so, Lincoln wanted to help every american, he freed the slaves, and for doing what's right, he was killed.

Quote from: CadillacClock;1442270It's hard to tell sarcasm on Slurpee's skin. Nothing is in capitals to begin with. You do understand what Flux and I have been stressing, don't you, Marlin?

I can understand it I guess. I just think that we're already past the point where race and gender will hinder one's path to success, and I don't see what a Black President does more than just prove I'm right.

Quote from: Maltese;1442233but even so, Lincoln wanted to help every american, he freed the slaves, and for doing what's right, he was killed.

I meant the warmongering thing.

I really don't understand your argument I guess.

Quote from: CadillacClock;1442055I have always thought that Ann Coulter was a joke. I still to this day do not believe that she is a credible news reporter or speaking on behalf of issues she actually believes in.

That show is annoyingly preachy and lame.

Quote from: Patriot's Bitch;1442281I meant the warmongering thing.

I really don't understand your argument I guess.

my argument was, as society becomes more advanced and more socialist as a cause of it, the republican party becomes more hateful to their own people.

I agree, i liked it at first but it god old real fast.

Venture Bros is where it's at.

both are great

Quote from: Maltese;1442646my argument was, as society becomes more advanced and more socialist as a cause of it, the republican party becomes more hateful to their own people.

I agree with the Republican party on the grounds that the government can't just hand everything to everyone.

People think they "have a natural given right" to things like health care, fact is that they don't. They have an America given right to it, and America doesn't need to be just handing it to them free of charge.

I'd more say that Huey is a preachy character than that the show itself is too preachy. With episodes like the Return of Stinkmeaner, I can tolerate the occasional bitching about unhealthy food or whatever.

Oh and it's a glass ceiling, not a glass wall.

Quote from: Flux;1442658I agree with the Republican party on the grounds that the government can't just hand everything to everyone.

People think they "have a natural given right" to things like health care, fact is that they don't. They have an America given right to it, and America doesn't need to be just handing it to them free of charge.

it's not free of charge, it's from the taxes you pay, rather than go to the military, or to bills that encourage hatred between your brothers and sisters.

it's not a natural right that people have healthcare, but it is a natural right that people be able to make anything of themselves, everyone deserves to be treated equally, and deserves an equal right to live as happily as everyone else.

The Republican party's stance is that only the rich deserve to be happy, and that's not right, that's backsliding from a policy of helping every american. That's actually backsliding to a very bourgeoisie stance, right after the french revolution.

During the McCain campaign it was shown how much of the republican party's supporters were racists, and how many of them were so very very hateful.

Also separation of church and state has been a joke since the 1950s

Yeah Huey's one of the more lame characters in the show.
