But you and statist parasites like you sure are working overtime to fix that aren’t ya billy?

Your knee jerk little stereotypes about anyone who calls you out on anything (Glenn Beck Limbaugh listening, racist, ignorant etc etc) reveal a pathetically narrow mind. You should get out more.

The hilarious part is my generation got what we could with way higher tax rates. We knew it cost money to keep a big prosperous country rolling along. You must be one of those new free lunch babies that voted in all those tax cuts thinking that was what freedom was about. Now you moan and whine about the debt you got conned into by phony conservatives. All I can say is – sucker.

Did you now people used to get polio all the time? The government cured that for us. When the Government built I-95 people grabbed shovels. Now all you can do is whine? Put down your wireless mouse, grab a shovel. I see guys who don’t even speak english nailing wood for the new boardwalk in Rehoboth. Must not be enough of you soft handed young whiners to do the job. Least you could do is keep you mouth shut while hard working people do what needs to be done. Why don’t you see if you can get a job building something if things are so tough for you.

You have way more freedom than my generation had ever had. Heck, I know black guys my age who could not even get into U of D or get hired at Fortune 500. Women would never be allowed to even have a basketball team in school. We had to pass laws for that. Ever have that kind of “freedom” problem? Or just the “theoretical” loss of freedom Glen Beck tells you about.

All talk. No detail. What freedom are you lacking? TV not big enough?

Tim, what do you think of the way anon here makes his argument? Is that the way it should be done? Is he the guy that was harassing the gent with Parkinson’s? You can’t let this stuff pass and expect to have a respected movement.

Regarding the bragging about fighting communism. I don’t have much to brag about I did not mean to brag. Just saying I was involved in my little way. Proud of that.

I don’t despise that part of the Republican Party that was against Civil Rights in 1964. Like I said I kind of agree the government had no business telling people what to do. We thought we knew it all, but somehow the truth eluded us. I regret the ignorance, I don’t despise the ignorant.

Sure we were all anti-communist. But I never thought Civil Rights or Medicare were communist socialist plots like so many did. I was not worried about my own government.

We were worried about the real foreign communist superpower that was vowing to bury us. We saw the huge armies. The Red Flag. The aggression. They said they wanted to conquer the world, take down the United States and our Constitution so the whole world would be Marxist-Leninist. Now that was a real live communist threat. Way different than worrying about health care reform being communist. That’s why it looks ignorant to me to talk about debate about American legislation like it has something to do with “communism”.

My dad’s generation knocked of the Nazis. My generation faced down the Marxists. This generation has to deal with the jihadis. Just seems to me a lot of energy is being wasted fighting the government of the United States. More afraid of our democratically elected Commander In Chief than anything else. Looks backward to me.

Are there two anons? The decent one who made a point about abortion, and the nutty one who thinks being for health reform legislation has something to do with communism?

This wealthy old communist has no clue what young people are facing today trying to eke out a living and still have something left over at the end of the day for your own hopes and dreams that aren’t what his leftist cohorts deems worthwhile.

Just for the record concerning your bragging about fighting Communism, I chose two examples of several. Also note that I never credited you with military service, but his is why I made that connection. You brag about fighting Communism when is helps your point but in this thread you clearly associate the fight with Communism, the Republican Party, and so on with behavior you are ashamed of and dispise.

“Well I guess me and all the friends I know who fought here at home and abroad and died in faraway places like Vietnam and Korea fighting the communists for fifty years, now have to put up with ignorant young people calling us “Marxist Bastards” just because we support the President.”

12/17/09 – Don as Think123 in response to “GOP: Status Quo or Giant Leap Forward”

“As an older guy who spent a lifetime fighting Marxist imperialism, who sighed with relief when the Soviet Union and the Wall went down – I find it totally mindless to use the word marxist to describe any of our domestic policy or our President.”

All I can say is wow that really about sums up the mentality we are up against.

The mere possibility that anyone might need emergency medical care from others makes every aspect of everyone’s personal health the business of government — or should I say the “community”.

Then surely you must agree that because there may somewhere sometime be a pregnant woman needing an abortion to save her life that abortion as a health impacting medical procedure is just as much everyone else’s – the “community’s” – business as your cardiac treatment in an emergency room?

Now that abortion like every other aspect of people’s health is the “community’s” business and surely something the “community” must require everyone in the “community” to help out with as their “business” you must then have no problem if the “community” deems that any abortion not performed strictly to save the mother’s life is a risk to every pregnant women’s health that the “community” can’t permit.

You definitely don’t sound like a “keep your laws off my body” kinda guy. If only we had an appropriate term for your “communityism”. Oh that’s right we do. Let me fix that for you : communityism.

No I have no regrets about fighting communism. Not sure were that came from. I regret no being smart enough to understand Civil Rights. So partisan, if Republicans were against it so was I.

Everybody was fighting communism back then because there really were communists with huge armies saying they were going to bury us. In grade school we all got taught to “duck and cover” under our desks preparing for the moment Soviet missiles came in loaded with 10 megaton hydrogen bombs. So it was quite a different scene as far as communists go. Then they set up a base in Cuba. For you Cuba has always been Communist. For me, it scared the shit out of us when they took over Cuba in 1960. We fought them with guns and our intellect until finally in 1989 it all came crashing down. Not just the Soviet Union and Eastern Europe but the whole idea that Marxism Leninism was a viable alternative to Americanism.

I never fought against Civil Rights more like an observer. I was Republican, Civil Rights was Democrat. Simple as that. Had nothing to do with communism in my mind. Just had to do with the government telling people what to do, how to act. Demcrats like that stuff. My folk don’t.

No, capitalism is not oppression. Capitalism is good. Very good. That is why I was anti-communist. Capitalism and freedom go hand in hand. As long as the government controls it. Otherwise, Capitalism is like a nuclear reactor. For all the good it does it can create a lot of poison too. I made lots of money in the wonderful world of free markets. I would like to make a lot more. Just so you know where I’m coming from.

Did I brag about fighting communism? I was never in the military. Fought it mostly on paper like this.
