very curious how conservatives constantly choose abusive descriptions for those who support humanity over profit.
but then who do they run to when they've been aggrieved? whatever information used to defend their rights was - is - based on the work of progressives.
it's nothing short of foolish behavior for individuals to support a conservative agenda that does absolutely nothing for them; rather it makes them look like mindless lemmings following the coattails of the rich, hoping pennies will be thrown their way.
kinda pathetic, really.  |

so typical - what's lacking in your own abilities you take from others.
sort of like the agenda you push so hard, right?
I must say, you certainly don't stray off the path.
I guess that's so much easier than actually learning to think on one's own, form one's own opinions and develop one's own sense of right and wrong - much easier to listen to others, right?
so how old were you when you drank the kool aid ?? |

If you see the left/right as humanity/profit you are unable to use the phrase "learning to think on one's own".

Lots of humanity in that book. |

| If you want to paint the left as representing and/or supporting "humanity" you have a very steep hill to climb. |

you might want to google the phrase "social justice"
that's truly an unbelievably naive statement you just made - or incredibly ignorant.
I mean really - if you want to debate something, go ahead and bring up a topic, but saying something so, well, stupid, makes you sound like some game show tv watching, junk food eating, beer gut redneck who barely made it out of high school. (or the female equivalent whatever that would be)

Social justice is an undefined platitude that masks the desire for total state ("community") control over all private actions. The "personal is political" etc etc. It is a thoroughly totalitarian concept.
All we have to go on with "left" political movements is the actions of past movements with similar ideologies. Again, if you want to paint these with "humanity" you have a steep hill to climb. |

Mises is doing better than the rest of us here, though. We're poking fun. He's making sense. |

It was succesfully changed into a term of abuse by most liberals' behaviour.
That had more to do with it then anything else. |
yes, shame on liberal's for standing up and actually marching in the streets for the CONSTITUTION and the BILL OF RIGHTS
how dare we !! |
Must have missed that...when did that happen?
And I'll see your two and raise you one |
