As many of you know, these forums are swarming with Liberals. Tat is why I am calling all Conservatives out of hiding to unite against these Leftists. I have been asked why I just don't concede and let them have their party, and I said this:
It may be a hard fight, but this "Alamo" is still defendable. Just because we are greatly outnumbered doesn't mean we should just give up.
"The easiest way for evil to triumph is for good men to do nothing." -Winston Churchill
All Conservatives!!! We must come together and stand up for what is still good in the world and fight the Leftist bias!!!
In politics, left-wing, the political left, or the Left are positions that seek to reform or abolish the existing social order in favor of a more equal distribution of wealth and privilege. In general, the left advocates a society where all people have an equal opportunity, which they often describe as a "level playing field". Because of this, the left tends to support labor unions, worker cooperatives and sometimes communes. Its emphasis on social change puts it in alliance with civil rights, feminist and green movements.
This was suppose to mean the abolition of capitalism. The term was twisted a bit to coexist with it, which I don't think it does a good job at.
Ideologies considered part of the left include Progressivism, Social liberalism, Social democracy, Left-libertarianism, Socialism, Syndicalism, Marxism, Communism, Autonomism, and most forms of Anarchism.
In countries such as the United States and United Kingdom where mainstream parties accept capitalism, the left generally pursues openly free-market capitalist policies, and varying levels of state spending.

You're right, it only affirms my point. It has been proven that "socialist reforms" do not work because the economy eventually the balance of power shifts to the extreme rich, and the payments to help "level the playing field" eventually bankrupt the economy.
I'm here for y'all!
Great!!! So far, I have a head count of four...

The former part of your statement completely contradicts the latter. Marxism, Communism, Socialism, and Anarchism are the exact opposites of Capitalism. The two statements together don't make sense. it says that part of the Left is Communism, then says that the Left is capitalism.

Hehe, it seems that the parties here have changed the term.
Heres a good quote from somewhere...
""This is partly the result of a deliberate effort to put all of America's enemies (fascists and communists) into the same basket after World War II, and a deliberate effort by the American "Right" to classify everything that they oppose as "Leftist". After World War II the Republican Party was struggling for survival and was in the process of reinventing itself. Part of the political strategy of some Republicans was to portray the Democratic Party of Truman and Franklin D. Roosevelt as "Red," thereby associating "Liberalism" with "Socialism". It was a common tactic during the 1950s to accuse Democrats of being "Communists" or "Communist sympathizers", a tactic that worked well during the McCarthy era and has had a lasting impact on how Americans view politics.""

Exactly what point are you trying to make with this unrefrenced quote? All I got out of that was that politicians are politicians, no matter the party. Also, when I said Conservative, I didn't mean Democrat or Republican. Though many Conservatives are Republican and many Liberals are Democrat, if there is a Conservative with a "D" next to their name, I'll vote for them...
Just gonna pop in here quickly to make a point though as an independent (and thus evil traitor?) you'll probably just dismiss anything I have to say.
Why is there such a us versus them attitude in politics? Why is it that we can't all just get along and respect the rights of others? If anything recent market actions have shown that at the very least some regulation is going to be required to let any market function smoothly so why is that still such a huge issue? In the end we're all humans, and in this specific case a large portion of us are all Americans so why can't we set aside the minor differences that separate us and don't allow us to grow and prosper?

Well, it seems to me that the Liberals are trying to play both sides of the middle, and that's where they get in trouble with Rush, who actually calls them out on it...

Well, in my opinion, no one is completely independent. Besides that, I don't want the Liberals pushing their Socialist policies on the American people, and the fight starts here, the cradle of politics.
