Seriously, my theory is that liberals lack the IQ to understand capitalism...

[idb]

IDB: If someone calls someone else a 'cock' in your world...is that considered an insult?

Brutus: I'm afraid you are changing the subject because you lack the IQ to discuss the subject.

IDB: Too stupid! You draw conclusions with no supporting information.

Brutus: so then please demonstrate your understanding of capitalism or admit you can't.

 

[idb]

Brutus: so then please demonstrate your understanding of capitalism or admit you can't.

idb: Are they the only choices?

 

[Truthseeker420]

and that is why they don't support it. If this is a mistake I'd appreciate it if a liberal would offer something to indicate an understanding of capitalism. Thank you.

lol Yeah because Bush and Republicans have done such a great job. lmao

 

[Brutus]

Brutus: so then please demonstrate your understanding of capitalism or admit you can't.

idb: Are they the only choices?

why change the subject? how will you learn if you are afraid to try?

Again with the assumptions...

Brutus

Toronado:
Our grandparent's generation wasn't filled with terrible folks, they just needed that nudge to do what they knew was right.

Brutus:
Too stupid!! You assume as a liberal, with a low IQ, that government knows how to nudge in the right direction. Jefferson assumed the opposite and created the greatest country in human history!! Is it still over your head??

Toranado:
So you are against pollution standards for automobiles? Or the CAFE standard?

Brutus:
No, against the liberal/Nazi idea that government knows best. That is 100% anti-American!! You lack the IQ it seems to see it?

Toranado:
Brutus, any regulation can be wrong. That is why we participate.

Brutus:
Too stupid!!! If "we" participate why do we need the government to participate too when it is the enemy that Jefferson fought to destroy ????????????

Toranado:
Hey, why the angry/derogatory tone?

Brutus:
Because the liberal cancer needs to be wiped out. Sorry, but where have you been all your life?

So you agree government did well establishing polution and economy standards for automobiles but say government can suck?

I agree with that statement btw. Government can get things wrong but did recognize the need for the standards. Ah, common ground

Ey buddy. Did you reply and I did not notice? I am always on this made in China cell phone so it could have snuck by.

You know, since we are talking capitalism, I bought it not because I was looking to send money to our most dangerous potental enemy but because it was cheap for the number or features offered.

At least I drive a Lincoln lol.

 

[rdean]

Republicans think "rich people make jobs".

In fact, there are only two things that make jobs:

1. Supply and demand

2. A welcoming infrastructure

Republicans simply don't understand that if there is no "demand", there are no jobs. They call that a "Wild Liberal Theory". Like "evaporation". Another "wild liberal theory".

If no one has any money, there is NO demand. Yes Virginia, it IS "just that simple".

 

[Brutus]

So you agree government did well establishing polution and economy standards for automobiles but say government can suck?

are you insane?? pollution standards are trivial compared to world wars and depressions!

I agree with that statement btw. Government can get things wrong but did recognize the need for the standards. Ah, common ground

oh good, the liberal agrees that government can get things wrong, like the LBJ Great Society near genocide against American blacks?

"we could survive slavery, we could survive Jim Crow, but we could not survive liberalism"- Walter Williams

 

[Toronado3800]

So Brutus, you do agree about the pollution standards.

Do you think our involvement in the world wars was a mistake?

 

[sparky]

Seriously, my theory is that liberals lack the IQ to understand capitalism...

My theory is neocons like to warp the definition of capitalism according to what the elites tell them it is

of course if cons had warped definition you would not be so afraid to provide your best example for the whole world to see.

 

[Vanquish]

I'm not sure why I expected that after nine pages the discussion would have moved on from baseless insults. I was wrong.

Brutus...if all you want to do is insult people...wait...that's basically all USMB is. Good going! Keep up the great work!

if you think liberals have the IQ to understand capitalism please say why you think that. I'd bet you're a low IQ liberal, can't do it, and so are trying to change the subject. PLease prove me wrong

 

[Toronado3800]

So Brutus, you do agree about the pollution standards.

Do you think our involvement in the world wars was a mistake?

Am i being ignored?

 

[Brutus]

So Brutus, you do agree about the pollution standards.

1) I'm OK with some pollution standards, but so what, Republicans are not anarchists

2) world wars were dubious but ok too, but so what???????

Just trying to figure out how our views on American capitalism are different. For example with the pollution standards. Most folks agree in the idea of government regulated capitalism. The FDA FCC FDIC type agencies. There is much debate on particular regulations but the philosophical differences are small.

WWII was brought up as an example of the evils of government. I view our involvement as a necessary evil. Most folks who supported Bush1 removinf Sadam from Kuwait no doubt would have supported removing Germany from Poland or Japan from China for example. Charles Lindburgh and the isolationist folks interest me greatly.

Trying to find the differences.

Curious, were you against the socialist health care system we have had since the 1950s? The one which provides treatment for any citizen who shows up at the hospital w/o forcing them to pay first?

Brutus:
Too too stupid!!! THe Democrats want to grow government in 2011 even after 200 years of steady growth and $14 trillion in debt. If they can't always promise more welfare they can't get elected. Subverting the American soul is their goal. They are like a cancer

liberal statist communists versus freedom and liberty from government

Conservatives want a capitalist system where people spend mostly their own money, prices are published, and suppliers compete. Liberals lack the IQ to understand capitalism so imagine government regulation can solve the problems that only capitalism and freedom can solve.

 

[edthecynic]

Buttkiss, like all CON$, lacks the IQ to understand Capitalism. The last thing Capitalists want is competition. All Capitalists strive for monopoly.
