Jeb Bush Channels Rick Perry: "Oops."

[Yumyumsuppertime]

Something totally irrelevant to this discussion.

They lobby like crazy and are not above donating vast amounts of money to politicians...

I'm willing to bet money that UBER will donate heavily to any candidate that will win the White House and thus secure their spot in the nation and continue screwing over the common man...

So start a thread on them. We're way off-topic, and I know, since I contributed to that state of affairs.

Coming from someone who called the Enlightenment, the French Revolution, and the Liberal/Humanist wave as some of the "Worst things in history" your backwards status is solidified.

I've never shied away from the title "reactionary".

.... errr... the emboldened bits are things you said. Not I. I simply chose not to correct something obviously irrelevant to discussion at hand.

Cowardly weaseling. If I ask you if you are a murderer and you say "I did what I had to do" you are confessing to a murder. Unless you are incapable of reading? I assume not.

What makes you say that?

You know...I might just do that due to the volatile subject matter and it would be good to inform the uninformed and raise awareness about this wolf eating my sheep.

You are far more than just a "Reactionary". You are an extremest, harking back to the days when some people on this board would be burnt alive for their beliefs as you cheered in the crowd.

What makes you say that?

For someone who laments democracy's "pathetic slave" status, you sure are afraid to come out and display your true colors.

....ehhh... not quite accurate but not far off the mark either. While I wouldn't "cheer" I certainly support more authoritarian regimes - if that meant suppression of certain minorities for the good of all then so be it. But outright oppression? Nah. Not my style. I don't go that far.

Hardly. Note the date. My posting history goes far into the past and that thread is but one in a long string of tirades I've conjured.

Most of the time, nowadays, I simply refuse to take the bait so often lobbed at me. I prefer responding with questions and saving effort for opening posts.

What greater "good"? Look at what the secular world has brought. Increased quality of life, longer lifespans, greater literacy, greater wealth equality, improved intellectual debate, tolerance, etc. and yet you, for whatever reason, want to get rid of this.

Do you just get off on the idea of silencing atheists?

The fact of the matter is the reason you refuse to debate is because your entire reasoning, your entire reason for existence, is based on the obsession on a book written by old men thousands of years ago. And a blind hatred for those who do not follow it to the letter. Anti-intellectualism at is finest. For a man who hates the "mob", you sure do want to resort to their lynchings, burnings, and mass executions.

You were acting cowardly in this thread because you knew how foolish, in the light of any reason, your viewpoint is. Your thread of mental masturbation does not disprove this and the sound thrashing you received further reinforces my opinion.

And I feel sorry for the child you must be forcing to whatever backwards nation you are getting the funds for moving to.

Fair enough. Are we finished with the threadjack now?

Telegrams perhaps? I would like to hear your response.

On the topic of Jeb Bush's nomination run, did the racist tech guy have anything to do with this?

[Ezakastan]

Vote for whom ever you like both party's play for the same team.

[Luminesa]

Ah. So he's for, like, lots of freedom for the market?

(I'm sorry, I don't mean to sound ignorant. I just don't watch a lot of Fox or CNN News. Mainly because all they ever do on those shows is bicker and talk over each other...) :/

I can certainly understand your hatred of the mainstream media, I recommend radio. It's a lot less "arena-like".

But put simply, yes. He doesn't want any regulation and he doesn't want any environmental controls, not even market based solutions to environmental problems. There are a lot of Republicans that like that, don't get me wrong, but there are also a lot of Republicans that do. Likewise, there's a lot of Republicans that are libertarian on social issues. You can't have pro-business and far-right religious people mixed, middle of the road and left-of-center voters are wary of that, not to mention libertarians and progressives-for-jesus.

I would think a little regulation should be needed. Otherwise you'd get chaos. :/

[Costa Fierro]

If he accidentally gives away Social Security numbers to internet fraudsters, what else is he capable of accomplishing should he ever make it to the highest office in the land?

The home addresses of those working for the NSA?

[Atomic Energy]

No, they're really not. This has never been the case. Even in the gilded age, when both parties were firmly in the grasp of corporations, they were in the grasp of different corporations.

did he work for bush long enough to have anything to do with anything? bush announced weeks ago that he was going to release all his emails.

[Alyakia]

Yes, it was, it was simply better than what opposed it.

Now however, for the Bush family, alternatives exist that are much better then continued servility.

<shrug>

Don't know enough about the alternatives to say this way or that. So few potentials have announced intent that one cannot properly gauge appropriate estimation of their worth.

What I do know is that, for all their faults, neither of the previous Bush's were so bad that a third would warrant fears for the future of America. Jeb holds, at the very least, executive experience (the value of which is purely subjective). Plus, his predecessor's inclinations towards a more dominionist vision of America bode well for him, in my eyes. Absent a proper Catholic, Orthodox, or Anglican candidate, I'd prefer an outright dominionist over a Mormon or a secularist any day.

there is nothing wrong with a secularist and you are a hypocrite if you disagree hope this helps. in fact it should be completely irrelevant either way. :-)

Donald Trump in 2016!!!

We don't need to continue the Clinton-Bush dynasties...Obama was a weird deviation from the norm...Carbon Tax and Healthcare taxation is bullshit and unneeded right now...

Your solution to lousy politicians is to elect possibly the worst businessman alive?
