Which Political Ideology Most Embodies the Alpha Male Mentality?

I see NO difference:eusa_whistle:

Fair enough answer. :lol:

The OP said he wished he decided to compare the Tea Party to OWS. I admit I could have found just as ridiculous of get-ups from OWS, but to prove my point I chose to target the Tea Party. Trying to peg either movement as more "alpha male" than the other is ridiculous.
 
None of the above. An alpha male doesnt ascribe to such labels as left right liberal conservative tea party libertarian green party etc.

A true alpha male is independant and studied. Objective, sincere and pragmatic.
 
Ultimate Alphas like Steve Jobs, Bill Gates, most of the founding fathers, Jesus Christ et al would all be considered pretty liberal for their day.

Oh yeah, I could have included my namesake two-time CMH winner Smedly.

SB

Jobs is an example of a beta transformed into an Alpha. Gates is an example of a beta plagiarist who squeaked his way to the top by theft and hired a bunch of Alphas to bring his company up to the status it enjoys today. Jesus an alpha? Oh, he may have existed, but his actions are that of fairy tales. He was a beta all the way surrounded by a cult who turned him into a religion. There were many of his kind throughout the day. So why did you choose ol Smedly?
 
Hamilton supported the 1st National Bank, and Washington came on board; Madison and Jefferson supported it in return for the national capitol being placed in the South. Adams supported it. Jefferson as president supported it and did not oppose it during his administration.

Monroe, Webster, John Q. Adam, Clay, Calhoun, and others supported the 2d National Bank, because the lack of the Bank and the War of 1812 ruined the economy. These leaders knew the country needed a national bank.

All of the above are the truth, no matter how the far right reactionaries shade it.

Amazing how the facts undermine you guys.

I'm sorry, it seems as though you miss quoted my response. ![/QUOTE]

Nope. You are refusing to admit that Washington, Adams, Jefferson, Madison, Monroe, Webster, JQ Adams, Clay, and Calhoun all supported the national banks at one time or another.

OP fail.

This should be a spectacle! Conservative women have more Alpha characteristics than liberal men. I just think it's fun to watch liberals play alpha.

Tea Party = Alpha
Occupy Wall Street = Beta

Obama = Beta
Bush = Alpha
Clinton = Beta
Bush Sr = Alpha
Reagan = Alpha
Carter = Super Beta
Ford = Alpha
Nixon = Alpha
LBJ = Alpha
Kennedy = Beta
Eisenhower = Alpha
Truman = Beta
FDR = Beta converted into Alpha

Your Post Challenging Me (THE FIRST HISTORICALLY INACCURATE CLAIM)

Where did you go to school?

And Washington, Madison, and Jefferson supported the first national bank. Washington was dead and Madison and Jefferson were out of office when the second national bank was ratified with the support Monroe, Clay, Calhoun, and other "conservatives".

And Washington used executive orders to build the capitol and want the federal government to expand internal navigation along the Potomac into the interior.

Be prepared to look foolish! You hereby have lost all credibility on historical matters!

It was Hamilton that supported the first national bank and Washington asked Randolph, Jefferson, and Hamilton to draft their opinions on the constitutionality of the issue. Hamilton won out and Washington RELUCTANTLY signed the bank into law. Madison was the largest opponent of the first national bank in congress on constitutional grounds! Jefferson also was against the bank on constitutional grounds. As was Attorney General Randolph! The Second National Bank, however, was chartered by Madison many years later as the precedent had been set and the American economy was then largely shattered after the closing of the First NB and the War of 1812.

And though not all liberals are betas, most of them are. And thus betas join together so as to collectivize their weakness into a giant authoritarian mob who unjustly demands that their beta status be compensated via the fruits produced by the independent nature and successes of the alphas. Hence the whining rich beta children of Occupy Wall-Street.

They all supported one or both of our national banks at one time or another.

They do not fit Publius's silly alpha male model, and thus the OP fails.

Publius's claims are false that none of them supported national banks, when in fact all of them did at one time or another. They knew they needed the centralized banking policy to stabilize the government finances and offer economic growth to the country.

Within five years of passing Hamilton's banking and assumption legislation, the US had the best credit rating in Europe.

So, Publius (and you only get one chance before I rub your nose in it again), did the named Leaders above support one or both of our national banks at one time or another. Yes or no?

Not your original claim. Supporting a new entity is much different than supporting an established entity. Think Social Security. Think National Banks. Your original claim that I challenged was that Madison and Jefferson supported the 1st national Bank. THEY DID NOT! Your second claim I challenged stated that Madison was out of office by the 2nd National bank. HE WAS NOT. Your third claim that I challenged was that the Dinner Table Compromise was a tradeoff for a national bank. IT WAS NOT. That's what I challenged and that stands! I did not argue anything else. Everything is perfectly sourced and documented via links! I am sorry if they did not fit your understanding of history but history changes for no man. Realizing the error of your ways you have changed your original claim to better suit your purposes. Admit you were wrong on those three points and we will continue.

Think the truth: all the named individuals did at one time or another support national banks.

All your wriggling does not change that, which sinks the OP.

Yes, Madison and Jefferson supported the 1st National Bank in return for the national capitol being built in the South. There was no way the bills would have passed without their support. And Washington happily used the EO power to build the capitol. As did Adams. As did Jefferson. As did Madison until it expired in 1811. As did Monroe, JQ Adams, Henry Clay, Daniel Webster, John Calhoun and others happily support its recreation as the 2d Bank.

Your revision of the Federalist period flounders. Fact.

I have already proven otherwise through links and sources. NOW PRVIDE ME LINKS AND SOURCES OF YOUR OWN that prove the following three claims of fiction;

Your false claims

1. Madison & Jefferson supported the First national Bank
2. Madison was out of office during the chartering of the Second National Bank
3. The Dinner Table Compromise was a tradeoff for the 1st National Bank in exchange for the location of Washington DC.

Show me the money! Such history, if true, should be easily found, should it not? :lol:

Now lets see if you pretend that this post never exited, or, simply repeat the same three claims above without providing the facts to back them up, or revise your original claims as if you never made them. My vote is on the latter of the three.

Gates is an example of a beta plagiarist who squeaked his way to the top by theft and hired a bunch of Alphas to bring his company up to the status it enjoys today. Jesus an alpha? Oh, he may have existed, but his actions are that of fairy tales. He was a beta all the way surrounded by a cult who turned him into a religion. There were many of his kind throughout the day. So why did you choose ol Smedly?

Hey you skipped the founding fathers "Plublius". Now I know you have an opinion on them.

Both of his medals are at the Marine Corps museum at Quantico if you're ever interested in going. I thought you were an old Devil Dog like me.

I have already commented on the founding fathers. I will comment further if you would like. Which ones in particular did you have in mind?
 
Just generally curious about whether you would categorize them liberal or conservative if you had to pick a label

Devil Dog. Hmmm....My dear old dad used to use the acronym M.A.R.I.N.E. Muscles Required Intelligence......you know.

.....Not Expected; Sorry, yeah, yeah)

it depends on which ones you are talking about and the context of which you're talking about them. Do you mean looking at them by todays standards or by their standards? And how do you define liberal? Todays liberals certainly aren't liberal at all. Conservatives are the modern liberals. I will refer you to this video at the 1:10 mark.

[ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JfdRpyfEmBE]Milton Friedman - YouTube[/ame]


Remember, our modern liberals are not the classical liberals many of our founders were. They initially called themselves progressives but that name was tarnished because communists and socialists likewise called themselves progressives. In order to remake their image they renamed themselves "liberals" which is the exact opposite of the results of their policies. Modern liberal ideas do not promote freedom and liberty.

Indeed, if we were thought anything by WWII, it is that isolationism is over. Indeed, I am a neocon. What of it? And FDR was a "lefter" than average liberal.
