Reply to The Dangers of Being "Outfoxed" in Politics PolMach Forums

But which one do you find more compelling? I find Colmes to be much more convincing than Hannity. Hanny is more flamboyant but the facts remain - you've got a liberal and a conservative on there. They take different approaches. I would like to believe that, but when Colmes just keeps getting steamrolled, I wonder if it is the intent of the producers to put such imbalanced personalities (not ideologies) together. Franken once asked Col

Those lawless heathen! Hmmph! Democrats, we don't need that type of scum! Believe me buddy, I wish a re-election of Bush signaled a return to particular traditional values, but it doesnt'. People are increasingly in favor of the gay cause, still believe the government to be useless unless it has a handout, believe that abortion is a "right", want to see all the gory sex-filled theatrics our media has to offer, and couldn't give a crap less abo

Shawn Hannity is a far right conservative. Alan Colmes, the co-host is a liberal. They don't claim to be unbiased. Ahem. I was attracted to that show because I thought there would be some pretty lively debate and some real head to head action between the two hosts. Umm...NOT SO MUCH. What is so pathetic is its transparency. Hannity runs wild through the show. In contrast, meek little milquetost Colmes seems to be there only to serv

The people in Iraq don't want democracy. This will be proven should we ever leave the region. They are a religious people in a religious land and for them to become as secular as us is a pipe dream only achievable by our continued presence and indoctrination of them. We are also creating an itch for the middle eastern world by putting our foot in their house. Look at our soldiers attacked every day, how long until the need to scratch comes within o

Thanx for the defn. Vincible. Yes, I thought there were some questions that were a bit...er skewed. I certainly have a different defn. of a conservative then the author of the quiz.

1: Traditional Societies (100%) 2: Anarcho-syndicalist (97%) 3: Libertarian (92%) 4: Liberal (88%) 5: New Labour (83%) 6: Totalitarian (81%) 7: Conservative (80%) 8: Authoritarian (70%) Very interesting. I like how they managed to squeeze in important answers that are usually lacking in these types of tests. Now I'm going to have to look up "Anarcho-Syndicalist".

First of all, legalizing just marijuana would not get rid of drug wars and drug lords and intercity gangs, because since marijuana is a fairly inexpensive drug, and the real gangs deal in cocaine mostly I'm not saying that legalizing marijuana would cut down on such crime, you are correct in what you say. My meaning is that when someone is penalized by the law for possession of marijuana (for example) the effect it has upon them is muc

You are correct. I admit, I split hairs quite often, as well. I like to find those subtle differences where we disagree as I find them vastly more interesting.

Thank you for the thoughtful reply, I am certain that the use of actual MDMA (not the sometimes questionable street pills one may get that sometimes include crack, DZM, etc.) in some theraputical environments is actually beneficial, but, I agree, we need to spend more time researching the drug itself. I understand that there was some research and even prescription of the drug in the early and mid-seventies. Yes, alcohol has many risks, but

Sandy2: My post office comment was made in ignorance, I had the U.S. post office in mind (go figure). It stands to reason that when all your expenses are paid for by the state then you make more than enough back on your service to cover costs that you are operating on or near a 100% profit margin. In regards to the marijuana issue, what are your reasons for not wanting the little plant to be available to the public? The health ris

Post office operates on 100% profit already, postal employees are already overpaid for what their duties entail, what is the benefit or reason for them wanting to do this? Is this supposed to help pay for all those gender re

In regards to the Gaza strip, it seems to me that both parties have ,at one point or another, held a genuine claim to the same land. This is the crux of that problem and is unsolveable except by means of compromise (and since both sides are too unmoveable...)

Meet the new Boss.... Same as the old Boss...... I'd like to agree, on this bit, little whip. So what are people fighting over, is it for the hope that possibly, one's favored candidate will more accurately represent their interests? We know about the pandering to the base than the immediate run to the mainstream middle. The trick to this shell game is the lack of a basis of comparison. If you have one, you can't prove that the

Your post illustrates the common perception of those who both love and loath the Republican party. In truth, I wonder if these are only perceceived ideals meant to garner a particular side and set up an "opposition" seeing as how most Democrats and Republicans both loudly proclaim a particular agenda to the faithful (such as being tough on immigration) but actually follow through with quite different policy (hey, let the illegals take our jobs). <
