Another hit piece on Ben Carson from the NON liberal, COMPLETELY bias-free Wall Street Journal: http://www.wsj.com/articles/ben-carsons-...1446861864

Of course, just as has been done with all these other tabloid stories, it was quickly debunked for the liberal propaganda it is: https://www.facebook.com/realbencarson/p...=3&theater

Will we see a retraction or an apology? Of course not. Being a leftist means never having to say you're sorry.

The issue of marijuana needs to be decided at the state level. The Federal government has no right to make a call on it either way.

Funny you should say that...just read this today, hot off the presses!

LOL, "They don't make communists like they used to". Professor Adams for the win!

And this: "Welcome back to class, students! I am Mike Adams your criminology professor here at UNC-Wilmington. Before we get started with the course I need to address an issue that is causing problems here at UNCW and in higher education all across the country. I am talking about the growing minority of students who believe they have a right to be free from being offended. If we don’t reverse this dangerous trend in our society there will soon be a majority of young people who will need to walk around in plastic bubble suits to protect them in the event that they come into contact with a dissenting viewpoint. That mentality is unworthy of an American. It’s hardly worthy of a Frenchman."

Just admit you're a fucking liberal and be done with it already.

I forgot to respond to this retarded nonsense.

What is so expensive about being pro gay marriage, pro choice, or pro legalization of marijuana?

Gay marriage would mean gay weddings (economic activity - money maker for private sector and increased tax revenues) and gay divorce (economic activity for lawyers and more tax revenues).

Pro choice leads to less poor babies being born who would need to be educated and who, if they didn't end up in the legal system or jail, would certainly end up taking way more out of social security and medicare than they ever put in. Free abortions for anyone making under $30K a year would be the best economic investment the gov't could make.

The legalization of marijuana has led to tons of new economic activity in Colorado: tons of new businesses employing tons of new employees. Tax revenues have crushed expectations. Cops spend less time enforcing the laws. Legal system has been freed up. Prisons will be less crowded with less $40k a year inmates.

Further, you know how I feel about Medicare. I think we should cut medicare spending by 2% a year for the next 5 years and let the health care providers complain and let the end users figure out what they can do without. Maybe we import doctors from Honduras. Maybe we wait until drugs go off patent before distributing them. Maybe we incentivize people to forgo costly end of life care in some way. We should definitely increase the age of receiving medicare to at least 70 if not 72. (SS can never be cut because people live on it and so it's politically impossible.)

Finally, I don't think public sector unions are a "liberal" idea in their current form. They are a corrupt product of the democratic and republican machinery. No real liberal wants to see teachers and cops retiring in their 50s with more pension income than the national average income. I would change all public sector pension plans from defined benefit to defined contribution. I don't think the average liberal would disagree with that - though the democratic party (hugely funded by public sector unions) would.

I think you are confusing the terms "socially liberal" and "democrat".

I also think you tend to hear things on republican talk radio and repeat them without thinking much about them.

I t think Rand Paul is the only true conservative running. Few actually talk about liberty with policies to bring freedom and civil liberties! His tax plan is the best and his budget is the best! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2EnkF01u...e=youtu.be

You would've been better off having not responded at all.

Quote:What is so expensive about being pro gay marriage, pro choice, or pro legalization of marijuana?

Nothing, which is why I specifically referenced BIG GOVERNMENT PROGRAMS, not civil liberties. At least know what the fuck you're arguing about. It would've spared me your pothead views on legalizing marijuana, your typical leftist rant on murdering babies, and weak-ass defense of gay marriage. (All three issues which I have CONSTANTLY agreed should be legal, but should be up to the States to decide.)

No I don't.

No, I'm not. What specific policies must one support to be labeled "Socially liberal"? These are vague contraptions, which is why I specifically referenced BIG GOVERNMENT as it pertains to welfare and other entitlements, education, health care, taxes, government subsidies, etc... and which if any of these you think should be granted to illegal immigrants.

I couldn't care less how you feel I feel about you fucking some dude up the ass while smoking a joint.

If a strawman raped a one-legged Latin prostitute named 'ad hominem', and she shit out an aborted fetus 4 months later, it would have croaked out the argument you just made before it dissolved into a green puddle of noxious gas like the one at the end of Gremlins before it died.

I like Rand Paul a lot too, but I think he qualifies more as a libertarian than conservative. Of the current Republican nominees, only Ted Cruz ranks as a 100% conservative according to the American Conservative Union.

Seriously. What issue does Cruz differ on from the generally accepted conservative viewpoint?
