How to tell that you're a Right Winger.

-This is from a lawsuit, regarding DHS and the AG:


Quote:
According to the federal government, characteristics of members of the suspect group of people include those who:
Oppose restrictions on firearms

Oppose lax immigration

Oppose the policies of President Obama regarding immigration, citizenship and the expansion of social programs

Oppose continuation of free trade agreements

Oppose same-sex marriage

Has paraonia of foreign regimes

Fear Communist regimes

Oppose one world government

Bemoan the decline of U.S. stature in the world

Is upset with the loss of U.S. manufacturing jobs to China and India

At least the charges are somewhat outlined. Based on this, I'm much more guilty than I thought. And pretty proud of it.

Re: How to tell that you're a Right Winger.

According to this I would hope almost all of us qualify!

If ever met anyone that said they are glad the chinese are taking our jobs, and the communists are alright people I'd have to smack them.

Re: How to tell that you're a Right Winger.

The only think on that list I do not give a rats ass about is same sex marriage. The REST on the list I consider patriotic and reasonable to worry about our way of life and quality thereof.

Re: How to tell that you're a Right Winger.

I am for FAIR trade agreements. Whatever restrictions, levies, taxes etc you impose on our exports to you, well will do exactly the same to your imports to us. If you do not have any, then neither shall we. I would WIN the trade war with those policies.

"Oppose one world government" I think they tipped their hand with that one.

Re: How to tell that you're a Right Winger.

Pretty much indicates a pattern:

Redefine marriage, redefine immigration, redefine what it is to be an American.

I think we've found our "Change".

Re: How to tell that you're a Right Winger.

Yep, there has been such a profound shift to the left during the past half-century that even John Kennedy would now be considered a "Right Winger"

We've sure made a hash of what the "great generation" fought for and put in place.

Re: How to tell that you're a Right Winger.

- The decline of the U.S. image in the international arena: Guantanamo, Abu Ghraib, the signing statements supported by John Yoo regarding tortude, rendition, denial of Habeas.... That didn't have anything to do with the topic at hand, right?

-Illegal immigration: One thing is lax immigration, and that can happen legally or illegally, and another is illegal immigration. In either case, the problem here is the law itself. The law cannot be worked out to produce solutions simply because it was not designed to produce solutions but to please special interest groups. The law is so well-made that, for example, under many circumstances a person is better off shoplifting than he or she is working trying to earn some money.

Courts had to interpret certain portions of the law because it simply doesn't make sense and seems to contradict itself. This has happened in at least 3 different occasions that I'm aware of. And you don't want illegal immigration with a law that can't make sense of itself?

The entire Amnesty argument of the GOP is crap. I don't support amnesty myself, but I laugh out loud when the GOP starts talking about amnesty and a nation of laws when they insisted in AMNESTY to the telecoms that ignored 4th amendment concerns and federal law to aid in the illegal wiretapping program.

And by the way, next time you get pulled over and the officer gives you "just a warning", well, ask the officer to arrest you and take you before a judge, anything else would be "amnesty".

- Outsourcing jobs to China: Well, you can't have the cheap labor you want for your business, see above, then what you going to do? You have absolutely no incentive to keep the jobs here, there's no tax penalty, nothing... so you move the jobs overseas and save a bundle. The concept of global economy is eluding the Neo Conservatives.

- Unfair trade: Yep, I agree with that one. However, the United States signed a nuclear technology treaty with India to supply that nation with technology and scientific information regarding nuclear developments. Yes, India, a nation that seems to be headed for war with Pakistan. And that was done at the insistence of the GOP, so give me a break!

- Opose same sex marriage? Yes. Oppose "civil unions"? No. Sexual orientation is not, should not, and has never been a problem of the Government. (Lawrence v. Texas).

I'm not a republican or a democrat, I like to think, so I ain't gonna be lectured talking phrases and be told what to do, think or believe by a bunch of people who couldn't care less about you, me or this country.

Tele....your govt. didn't split hairs. They issued a blanket statement. That, in and of itself, is most of the problem here.

Re: How to tell that you're a Right Winger.

Yes, today to be a good American means you're a "bad" American.


I guess those founding fathers were a bunch of scoudrels that knew nothing and were unAmerican by the standards set forth by the people that have taken us over.

So much for the "theory" part in Conspiracy Theory.

All doubt is removed now.

Savage is a worthless douche.

I remember the first time I heard him was around 911 and he kept saying "The atheists WANT the terrorists to win." I was like "What the fuck? I do?? Wow, what the fuck am I doing in the military then?"

Seriously, how fucking stupid can you be to think that? Atheists have nothing to do with a "holy war". How the hell would that make sense? Also, there is no "The Atheists". Atheism is not an organized religion, we don't have a church, we don't get together to conspire against America. We are simply live our lives... without believing in superstition and fairy tales.

Thank you, you, from one worthless American to another.

At least we don't label everyone who questions the president a traitor, though I'm sure a few jerks do.
It's just not policy like it was in the last regime.

The we should be proud to be "bad" Americans, all those things that we were taught about the Constitution, patriotism, etc. apparently are on the list of prohibited subjects.
