You were doing ok for a while. But then you fall for the trap of a nonsense personal attack post. You know nothing about me. you might not agree with me but if you still think im some blubbering idiot then I don't really know what to say to you.

We're gonna disagree on this one. He's not disrupting threads, nor inciting anything. He's asking questions and giving his point of view. That's what this place is SUPPOSED to be about. Not an infantile insult fest that too many(including me when incited) make it. I have yet to see him insult any member here, prior to his being insulted. Maybe I'm wrong? I've disagreed with him strongly in the Israel- Palestinian thread. I've yet to be called a name by him, or insulted or Allinskied or whatever else the nutcases around here do. He's a newcomer down here, AFAIK, and he came in peacefully.

I know you mean well TG but it bewilders me how far off base you can be at times.

Cuba is doing good compared to Latin American standards not to mention they could be doing even better if they weren't under an embargo by the us and some other countries.
I can also randomly throw out countries to disprove capitalism. hey look at Mexico! That must prove capitalism is a disaster

Economics is a balancing act. You should never be sold to one ideology. You should make decisions that create a stable and productive economy. And that can be a mixture of capitalism and socialism. When you have a disparity of wealth like we have now, you should be trying to close the gap through policies that help the bottom of society. Otherwise capitalists will bleed the country dry until they have their slave laborers who have to work just to get a loaf of bread.

At least Comrade is honest about his beliefs - he's a Marxist.

You and the Kenyan, not so much.

Thats the thing. Obama is far from a socialist.

 

[SheriffJoe]

Thats the thing. Obama is far from a socialist.

He's a radical commie at heart. He just doesn't have the power to impose his full agenda...those pesky constitutional "checks and balances" donchaknow...

"I believe if you spread the wealth around it's good for everybody!"

You give this commie the power of a Hugo Chavez and within 10 years nobody would recognize the USA.

Too bad Democrats can't be as honest as you are about their beliefs.

take it from a socialist. the democrats are the lesser of two evils but they are not even remotely socialist.

Just to make it clear Hugo Chavez did democratically get his power

And I will fight out of control capitalism

again you simply use unprovable semantics.... wtf does "doing good" mean?

so far we're talking about "doing good", "living comfortably", and "human effect on earth"

Then you say to compare (using what metrics i have no fucking clue) Cuba to "Latin American standards"? huh? what standards? cock size, breast milk production, painted toe nails, beachfront property, ESPN2 access?

I feel like I'm on chapter 2 of Debating for Dummies or reviewing akphi's "things that really smart people say and do" blog

Good enough for Communist Party USA who endorsed him twice!

 

[Acebb]

Ha ha ha ha haha, this brave socialist warrior and champion of the people will pay higher taxes IF America enacts universal health care!!

So Brave!

So committed to the cause!

Yes, they elected him democratically, but once in office he consolidated power illegally like all tyrants do.

Now that shit hole of a country can't even maintain a proper supply of toilet paper!

Venezuela Is Running Out of Toilet Paper

Laughable that there are people who still believe Marxism can somehow work...as if it's never been tried "properly" by the "right person"

He was re elected multiple times and even his constitutional reforms were democratically approved by referendum

We already established how much of a joke your position was yesterday

they actually did not endorse him. But even if they did I already told you it's the lesser of two evils. Democrats are on the left side so we obviously prefer them over the right republicans. I'm sure you're aware of the ideological spectrum. You saying Obama is equal to a socialist is the same as me saying Romney is the equivalent of a nazi
