Plenty of those on both ends of the spectrum.
That's what you meant, right?

Amen.Prisoners of bs ideology...
This is your delusion. It's why you live next to a toxic waste dump. Because some rich people made a shitload of money producing toxins and dumped them in the shittiest part of the country next to poor people. "Free Markets, Bitches!!!"
Well... no, not really. We have toxic waste dumps out of necessity because we don't want to pollute our environment. The largest source of toxic waste is medical waste. Do you think we should stop treating medical patients and close the hospitals? What are they supposed to do with their toxic waste? Other sources come from manufacturing things like computers and electronic circuitry. You want to give up computers and electronics? How about steel making or the automotive industry? You want to give those up too? Because... IF we're going to have those things and IF we are going to also have an EPA to keep us safe from toxins... then we MUST have toxic waste dumps. Unfortunately, there is no Toxic Waste Fairy.
Now... Toxic waste dumps are highly regulated by the EPA. Strict guidelines are enforced and facilities are monitored closely to ensure compliance. There is no risk to public health anywhere near a toxic waste facility. There is very little health risk to employees who work at toxic waste facilities when procedures are followed correctly. It is precisely BECAUSE we are a free market capitalist system brimming with ingenuity and technology, that we are capable of efficiently handling our toxic byproducts... unlike places like China and North Korea.

Guy, you miss my point. I'm all for dumping Toxic Waste in the South. You people fucking deserve it.
Of course, we COULD AND SHOULD properly dispose of that waste through recycling, but dumping it next to Cleetus and Billy-bob and all the other inbred, bible-thumping rednecks who fly Confederate Flags... that works, too.

Guy, you just contradicted yourself. You admitted that Toxic waste is relatively safe because of strict government regulations, and then praised the free market- you know, the guys trying to get rid of government regulation- for it.
Man, you inbreds are stupid.
Free markets are now highly regulated because of abuse by rich Republicans.
YOU'RE the biggest toxic waste dump... you just keep on churning it out... we can't stop it!

There is nothing liberal about you in any way
Just so I can embarrass you further, Joey...
Here are the EPA maps of Hazardous Waste facilities in my state versus your state:
Again, you are flat wrong... as usual.
As my posted maps show, your state has plenty of toxic waste facilities, as do most states. What the hell do you mean "recycle" it? You can't recycle cadmium and arsenic or asbestos, heavy metals, mercury and radioactive material. You can't recycle syringes and colostomy bags. That's why we have facilities where they can be properly disposed. Sometimes, certain things can be incinerated, other times it just has to be buried.
Sorry, I am failing to see the post where I claimed we shouldn't have certain reasonable regulations to protect the environment or that this negates free market capitalism. So, I haven't contradicted myself... you're just lying again, like you typically do as I kick that pansy ass around. Maybe one day you'll learn not to fuck with me? I doubt it, you almost seem to enjoy the beatings.
Because it isn't important to anything. I'm sorry you just don't get this. Can a bright person do well in the worst of systems? Yes. Still doesn't mean the system is bad. It's like saying deafness isn't a bad thing because Beethoven still composed the Ninth Symphony.
But you've failed to prove the system is bad and stories like that of Madame C.J. Walker totally dispel your myths and expose your lies. Again... Free market capitalism. free enterprise, combined with constitutional representative republican government has produced more millionaires and billionaires, brought more people out of poverty and inspired more technological innovation and creation than ANY SYSTEM EVER DEVISED BY MAN!
Well, no, guy. The fact is, we have millions of people living in poverty....
Well, no, guy. The fact is, we have millions of people living in poverty....
Uhm... hate to be the one to tell you this, but we'll ALWAYS have poverty. There is no system that eliminates poverty. It is in OUR system more people can pull themselves out of poverty... Like Madame C.J. Walker.
And as for your emotive example of the children working... the government most certainly didn't put an end to it... the people did, through their elected representatives. IF governments did that, you wouldn't have that sort of thing in China or North Korea.
Again... we have a brilliantly genius system of free market capitalism, free enterprise, a constitution with a representative republican government. It is this "total package" that comprises the best system ever devised by man. You're trying to attack a critical part of that system in favor of the part you like more, which is what Marxists, Socialists and Communists do. Your system fails.
Sure he had choices. He could have dragged his feet at the very least.
Instead he rushed the job to get it done asap.
That was how he "pandered" to the Racist vote of the South. He moved aggressively to desegregate their schools in order for the issue to be moot by the time of his re-election.
Uh, no, guy. It had been two decades since Brown Struck down Seperate But Equal. Nixon wasn't rushing to get it done, he was forced to stop out the last embers of Jim Crow because he had promised to end race riots and he didn't want to create any new excuses for them.
And becuase the Courts told him he had no choice.
The GOP program excluded murderers like Horton from the program and a lefty judge and Dukakis vetoed that.
I think you are a little confused. What happened was that they created a furlough program, and guys like Horton who were doing life said, "Why can't we get some of that?" and the way it was worded, there was no legal reason to exclude them.
Dukakis signed a reform of the law that explicitly excluded people not eligible for release.
Bush wasn't having a 'rational discussion". If he was, he wouldn't have hidden behind front groups to put out htis commercial that his campaign supposedly had no link to (although it was eventually revealed he did.
This was pure scaremongering on race.
Finally an history expert. So my first question is why did Jefferson change Locke's property to pursuit of happiness?Prisoners of bs ideology...guess what, read up on the history of the US and why reform was always necessary. So ignorant...
I don't need to read up on history, I am an expert on the subject. You've been indoctrinated by propaganda from Marxists and Communists. You have a warped and distorted revisionist view of history as told to you by your propaganda masters. The thing you don't understand is how they snicker at you behind closed doors... they have a term for you... "Useful Idiot!"
Brainy question indeed. I personally believe that Jefferson was combining two comparable essays of Locke, one in which his popular phrase "life, liberty and property" came from and another in which he laments the "pursuit of happiness" as being the ultimate foundation of liberty. Some have also argued that, since slaves were considered property at that time, Jefferson was hesitant to render the institution of slavery so clearly a constitutional precept. Although he did own slaves, he realized the consciousness of America would one day have a great debate on the issue and he didn't want to solidify slave ownership as a fundamental constitutional right. This view is supported by people such as Frederick Douglass who thought the intentional wording of Jefferson was brilliant in that regard.
But of course, no one really knows for certain, this is simply an opinion. Great question though.
If you vote for Trump then you also better build a bomb shelter in your back yard.I advocate the US system with less domination from the greedy idiot GOP and its ignorant dupes. I voted for Bernie in NY and no support Hillary. You don't support Trump. Who the hell do you support? I've never seen anyone more FOS in 9 years of message boards. Where do get this crap? LOLFree market capitalism has been and always will be a disaster in the end...
And you're an abject idiot. Free market capitalism is responsible for creating more millionaires and billionaires than any system ever designed by man. It has lifted more people out of poverty than any system. It has given us more technology and advancement than any system. In fact, there isn't even a system that comes in a close second.
The system YOU advocate is responsible for more than 100 million deaths in the past 100 years. Horrible atrocities... unspeakable genocide... crippling poverty and economic catastrophe... over and over and over again. History is riddled with examples of it. Yet, about every 20 years, the aristocrats in Europe trot out yet another incarnation and stupid little morons like you slobber all over them as if they are offering something new.
