only in America .. By a Canadian prospective

[Claudette]

OK...fair enough....please tell me which one(s) of the ten items you can say is (are) not true?

Oh yeah...and offer us the truth...dont simply say "talking point"....

RW will have a hard time telling you that because they are all truer than true and he knows it.

So far, all he has done is criticize the author of the 10 points....but has yet to be able to explain what is not true. I will wait.

Shit JH. Don't hold your breath. Your liable to croak waiting for an answer. LOL

We can start with the "Only in America" part

Most of the worlds industrialized nations operate the same way.....including Canada

once again, you are deflecting.

You referred to the ten itrems as "talking points"...and "talking points" refers to items that people use to win a debate but have little girth..

So I ask again.....what of the ten items are not true...and explain why.

 

[Claudette]

LMAO RW can't because they are all true and he knows it.

Deflection city speaks volumes.

 

[Jarhead]

LMAO RW can't because they are all true and he knows it.

Deflection city speaks volumes.

yes...so far, two responses to my request and two deflections.....

oh yeah...and not one answer.

I noticed that when statements made by the right have vcalidity...the left automatically refers to them as right wing talking points.....apparently as an effort to end the discussion.....

So I decided a few days ago to call them on it...and everytime someone says it and I call them on it...as I did here....and they refuse to answer.

 

[Jarhead]

And so it ends.....a few leftists come in....say they are talking points....are asked to back up that statement...and they do what they do best.....leave the thread.

So dam childish.

There is nothing in that list worth talking about. We get dozens of threads on each and every one of them. Liberals say that is bullshit and conservatives say that is 100% correct

The list is not very original and rehashes crap we have been arguing about for years. So, rather than continuing to beat that dead horse, I will just say

It is a lie to claim that this is how Canadians look at Americans
And t is a lie to say "Only in America"

Strike three.

\You refewrred to themn as talking points so I asked what of the ten items are not true...

And you have now diverted from answering the question 3 times in a row...

First you criticized the author
Then you discussed how the world works
And now you say they are old

But you have yet been able to show me why they should be defined as talking points.

Why?

 

[LogikAndReazon]

So true on everything this women says

In our new third world America, everything is possible..........

 

[Toro]

Canada is generally to the left of America.

Yes they are talking points... Simplistic OPINIONS of the way conservatives think things should be

We have debated each and every one of them for years. Nothing new here. What is new is deceptive conservatives trying a new tactic of ....."See...Canadians think we are right"

I say Bull Shit

 

[Soggy in NOLA]

I didn't realize they get FoxNews in Canada

Truth's a bitch 'eh buddy?

 

[GoneBezerk]

The shitbag goes to the FOX News crutch....yet again.

A drinking buddy of mine over in Germany was a Engineering professor at a top-notch university. He grew up in Germany during the Cold War and talked about young people today being clueless to the lies of socialism.

When I ran into him back in 2008 after the election results, he told me we fucked up. He said socialists ruined Europe and now the USA was going down that path.

I don't think he got FOX News on German TV....and he called Obamination what he was just by paying attention to his bullshit running against McCain.

Canucks, Germans, etc know Obamination is full of shit.....but you don't.....lemming.

point 5 is no talking point....much of that is pretty real....and it makes those that are doing it right.....to wanna just say fuck it and do it the PC way....

 

[LeftCoastVoter]

I didn't realize the libs would discount, out of hand, any thoughtful opposing opinion simply because it came from Canada...

no, wait... silly me, of course the libs would shoot down, out of hand, any thoughtful opposing opinion, no matter where it came from...

Rightwing talking points.....no thought involved

OK...fair enough....please tell me which one(s) of the ten items you can say is (are) not true?

Oh yeah...and offer us the truth...dont simply say "talking point"....

here you go.

2) there an many situations where there is perceived discrimination against blacks (and other minorities). This is one of the reason for the advent of affirmative action. which is still a widely used policy today.
3) Tim Geithner does not write the tax code, nor does he enforce it. As treasury secretary it is his job to advise the president on tax policy, but in no way shape or form does he write the tax code. That duty belongs to Congress. Rangel is an elected offical, while Geithner is not, and should the people of his district feel he is doing a poor job they can vote him out of office. He would be a better example of being able to actually write the tax code however.
4) just because an extreme group use religion as a reason to kill, doesnt mean the entire religion is bad.
5) there is no talk about letting illegals have automatic amnesty. the proposal on the table was to pay back taxes and get in line behind those already in the system. not sure where magic comes into play here.
6) no one is calling people who want to balance the budget extremists. those who wish to gut social programs for the poor and elderly sometimes get this title, however there are many ways to balance the budget. one would be increasing taxes, however the extreme right cant even have an adult conversation on this matter.
7) driving a car, cashing a check and purchasing alcohol and not rights guaranteed under the constitution, they are considered privileges. in 1966 the US Supreme court rules that Poll taxes were illegal. thus forcing someone to purchase a government issued ID can be considered a poll tax. if states or the fed are willing to issue free ID's to any US citizen, the they would legally be able to ask for ID as a prerequisite to vote.
8) people have a choice on which brand of shoe to purchase. all automotive vehicle run on gasoline there are no alternatives. we are well within in our rights as for an investigation in to the rising cost of gasoline when there is a 300% increase in a short amount of time across all suppliers of the commodity. when tennis shoes are considered a commodity at which point the price of them is determined on the open market we can have this conversation.
9) due to mandatory spending and the cost of 2 wars, the amount of money the US government spends far exceeds the amount collected by tax revenues. there hasnt been a balanced budget since the 90's. not sure why the faux outrage is occurring now. budget deficits have been occurring for years. there are only 2 ways to eliminated the deficit, raise revenues and cut spending. seeing as how 80% of the US budget is spent on SS, Medicare, Medicaid, Defense and Interest on the debt, even if you were to cut all other government programs you would still fall 16% short of balancing the budget. hence it is correct to say that the US government does not take in enough money.
10) 47% of the american population are not required to pay any federal income due to GOP policies that have been put in place over the last 30 years. the GOP policy has always been about lowering taxes. well they got their wish, and the results of these policies are in fact that 47% of the population does not make enough money to qualify for paying federal income tax. so whats the bigger problem here? that 47% dont pay federal income tax or 47% of the population lives hand to mouth while 2% of the population controls over 85% of all the wealth in the nation. by basic math and reasoning, of one group control 85% of the money, you can deduce that they would pay near the same amount in taxes

 

[Politico]

Yeah none of that ever happens there.

They get Sky News in Europe, also owned by Murdoch, but they aren't allowed to lie like they do here.

What does Fox News have to do with anything she wrote? Why is you first instinct to immediately try to affiliate her with someone or something you think is disceditted?

If you think her points are wrong, why not address them? That is the point of a message board, isn't it? Aren't we supposed to discuss issues of substance? Or are we just supposed to swear at each other and attack one another? Because if that's the case, I am way under quota.
