    He didn't seem to be concerned about surveillance when he expressed admiration for brutal totalitarian regimes like the Soviet Union, China and Cuba. And yet he has consistently voted against surveillance of American Citizens throughout his legislative career. Funny, it's almost like one can admire specific qualities or actions without wanting to emulate something wholesale.

    It's dead Jim.

    I'm scared of Sanders because his consistent opposition to government surveillance will curtail my fetish of being spied on.

    I've been on a blackout on this for months, how is it looking at the moment?

    The Wall Street shills are going to nationalize anything? More likely they'll make buying something from a private entity required and put a few non-whites and stronk wymynz in positions of power. And we've had thought police(cointelpro and NSA and TPP), gulags(Guantanamo), and disappearing of people for a while now. That's just a fact of having a state ruled by powers independent of the peasants/proles/citizens. The fact is all major parties, including libertarian and green, in the US are some strain of liberal with a slavish devotion to whiteknighting for large corporations. The political process is broken and nothing can stop the machine from trampling over people to the benefit of a handful of elites who own everything. Western Democracy has been a farce for a long while and the choice of which flavor you want your elected official to be is more irrelevant than the toppings on your next pizza.

    Bruce I am impressed how you can say very little with so many words. The function of austerity is to curb growth by cutting spending(usually on welfare programs) and raising taxes in order to build a surplus. Greece is currently in a depressed economy. Therefore austerity in Greece will result in less growth, less help for workers, more tax burden for citizens, in an economy that already has 20%+ unemployment. It is lunacy to believe that Greece will be able to sustainably pay off debts in this situation, rather it will see the standard of living decline while money from other EU states are funneled through Greece to pay off private entities. We have seen the effects of this already, with loans being used to pay off private banks while public airports are sold to German companies and Greek women selling themselves for cheese sandwiches because shockingly enough it's hard to find work in 20%+ unemployment. If that is austerity working, anyone who supports it is either blinded by ideology or is willing to put their own self-interest above the well-being of others to an inhuman degree.

    Bruce the last time you used links to support your argument they provided evidence against austerity working. Unless of course you aren't concerned with unemployment or wage stagnation, but I think it would be a hard sell to claim those don't factor into standard of living.

    Weren't you and KP meant to have a debate about this? If by debate you mean Bruce telling me I'm wrong without being able to make an argument on how austerity is beneficial, then I suppose we've had it.

    Of course he wants mindless consumers, this is the guy behind Microsoft after all.

    Obama is merely continuing the work of global capitalism, which will see working-class westerners lose status as manufacturing and some service is moved to states where they can pay workers much less. The only candidates promoting anything different are Trump(with protectionism) and Sanders(with more workers benefits and protectionism), and even then it's small differences.

    They are also man made constructs, which seemed to be your issue with "evil". "mentally instability and religious indoctrination" is a strange way of spelling "material conditions". Regardless, the same applies to "morality" and "justice" in this case, which are man made constructs that vary from person to person. If you don't believe in "evil", how can you believe in "morality" and "justice"? You aren't.
  13. PK htiw klaw eriF
    Morality, laws, governance, and justice are also man made constructs Bruce.

    Well if they didn't shave they couldn't fit in the bunkers.

    I think it's a strategy to paint himself as an outsider who wants to help the working class while establishment politicians are more interested in political theatre. He's drawing a lot of people so clearly something that he's doing works.
  16. PK htiw klaw eriF
    I don't care for then either, at best they're just there like flavorless chunks.

    It's remarking on the success Trump has had running with nationalist rhetoric with some riffs lifted from leftist economic rhetoric and how an advisor to Pat Buchanan recommend doing so about twenty years ago. You can say something similar about Sanders, given his focus on better conditions for workers and it shows with him polling better among folk the Democrats normally don't get.

    I'll have my drones drop habeneros and jalapenos on your pizza and you'll get the love then. Then I'll have them remove those disgusting mushrooms.

    This isn't the place to talk about your sex life.

    Mayor Carcetti and Jim Webb?
  21. PK htiw klaw eriF
    Anything but mushrooms on a pizza and I'll be willing to eat it. My mood changes too much to select a favorite pizza, but right now a thin crust with chicken, garlic, spinach, sun dried tomatoes, and olives on top of parmesan, provolone, feta and olive oil sounds good.

    Clinton will win, obnoxious liberals will praise this as a victory for progressivism, the right will be emboldened to support even stupider and more destructive economic policies, and the moderate to far left will continue to be completely irrelevant all the while being blamed for everything. More than likely, but I'm still holding out for Sanders v. Trump with Sanders grabbing the popular vote but Trump winning due to electoral tomfoolery.

    The Labour leader said it would be better to engage with Trump, who has made inflammatory comments about Mexicans, gay people, women, Muslims and other groups, than exclude him from the country. Corbyn you sly devil.
  24. PK htiw klaw eriF
    Looks like the Bern will stump the trump.

    Man, come on. I had a rough night and I hate the ****ing eagles man.
