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.)

Quote:Further, you know how I feel about Medicare.

No I don't.

Quote: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".

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.

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

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 love Tom Woods http://contrakrugman.com/ep-8-does-the-e...democrats/

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?
