A Conservative Europe(2002)?

[Guest]

Fear abounds in Liberalville. Make them afraid, offer a government solution, and, voila, we got their votes(I know that’s how it works here. My uncle was a Democratic [read LIBERAL] party organizer for 25 years.)

so: liberal = democratic = socialist = communist ?
no wonder that the US are famous for their socialism-phobia.
liberals in europe are the worst “no government, no tax etc” that are on the political market here.

Speaking for al right (in the correct sense) thinking liberal Europeans, of course. Sounds like the Thought Polizei have things under control(1984)
:wink:

i only read the german translation, but does it say thought police or throught polizei in the original version?
If it is the first, then Xi is a racist, as he uses german as a synonym for fascist/nazi/etc.

@F_S:

I only wish Germans will not elect Stoiber, i don’t want germany to be a big bavaria… But maybe Stoiber will get crushed by the “Preiss” after all.

What are some of the the major issues and where does he stand? - Xi

Tsk… this coming from the person who swore never to
double quote.

Please, take this as a clarification, not a “" "”.
I don’t believe that I said I would never “” “”. I believe I
said I would use a variety of quotes. However, if I said it
as you say, please take this as a change in policy :) .

Methinks thou recitith la alphabet cuando todo je said
was “a = b.” :lol:
I said (referring only to here in the USA)
“liberal = democrat.” YOU overdid it.
NO TAX, NO GOVERNMENT Liberals? That sounds like
condors on a mountain top with fins and no eyes. I
wouldn’t travel so far along the political scale! Soy
(I am) less tax, less government. Our national
government oversteps its’ constitutional boundaries
using the “interstate commerce” clause to excess.

I did type POLIZEI(DEUTSCH.) I am of Iroquios, Irish,
Polish, Japanese, Welsh, Scot and German parentage.
I am not even a “human racist.” I am a “Deist racist.” :D
Americans borrow words from other languages all the time.
Don’t take it as an insult, por favor :) . Sometimes it’s nice
to break out of my lil box that people keep trying to lock
me in! Nevertheless, this is the third time, on this website,
that I have been called RACIST. Dos de those have been
by Europeans. I begin to think you do not understand us,
occassionally, because you do not understand American
humor. I find that odd because I have had the opportunity
to speak with Estonian, Spanish, Japanese, South African,
Sierra Leonan, Australian, Canadian :wink: , Syrian, Saudi,
and Chinese people(just to name a few cultures) who have
understood American humor with a full or rudimentary
(no pun intended) grasp of English.
This genre of arguments will indubitably reproduce itself.

you warm, wealthy, and very happy(woo-woo!) 8) - Xi

(1) Spain and Estonia are part of europe.
(2) i apologize for the way i reacted, but: Using german words in combination with fascist/nazi-like institutions … if you have the slightest knowledge of history, you should know what kind of feelings and reactions you provoke with that.
Don’t tell me you didn’t do it on purpose. If you did, then you are very poor in your social/communicative skills, or you just didn’t think far enough of what implications that way to say it could have: … i hope for the last… unless you have access to weapons of mass destruction :)

[Xi]

I most certainly did do it on purpose.
If I have to deal with the skeletons in my closet . . .

decapitate you on my backswing.

@FinsterniS:

about fear and politic…

When germany was in pain after WWI, they choose to listen to rightish party, they (we) were afraid.

If I remember correctly people were listening to the left (communists) just as much as the right (Nazi’s) in the late 20’s and early 30’s. Street battles were common between the two groups as well. In the 32 electon the left gained the most votes, not the right. In the Great depresson here in the US, it was the left, and not the right, which gained its most strength from the hardtimes people lived in. By 1934, many felt the country was on the verge of a Communist upriasing. Liberals play on fear just as much, “without us (liberals) will you get food, were will you get work were will you live? Its the right who wants to take those things away from you.” Fear is the weapon of extremists regardless of what side they are on and to say only one side has a monopoly on it is to show a general ignorence of the facts of history.

Not very surprising, intervention of the state was (should have been ?) inevitable.

Also i never, NEVER said the right has the monopoly of fear, this is just a tendance. About Leftish using fear, i am sure they do, like every single political ideology. But conservative ideas are closer to the feeling of fear, fear of change, need of security, et cetera. And as we are on a very rightish world, conservative are often rigth-wing…

This is a generalisation, a global vision, i am sure you can understand that, as you and i can understand the limitation of such generalisation.

[TG Moses VI]

Nah, I would say (at least from my perspective), the world is more left than right.

[Guest]

it’s a question of standpoint… and as america is so much right-wing, i can understand you see the world as leftish
