TakeYouToTasker Posted March 21, 2013 Posted March 21, 2013 Let's put it this way..... I don't respect your opinion. Therefore I don't give two ***** what you think. That's fair, because aside from a few talking points you've regurgitated from a Mises blog, you really don't say much that deserves consideration; and those thoughts were someone else's and not your own, so I guess that sets you back to zero. And for the record, you do respect my opinion, because several of the things you regurgitate are items that I've contributed origional work to. Furthmore, I don't care if you like them apples or not; cause your ass is stuck eating them, B word.
....lybob Posted March 21, 2013 Posted March 21, 2013 It's not about having a view that opposes mine, it's about your views being internally logically inconsistent. There are plenty of views that oppose mine that have internal logical consistency, it's just that yours isn't one of them. Like claiming Ayn Rand objectivism and Christianity
TakeYouToTasker Posted March 21, 2013 Posted March 21, 2013 Like claiming Ayn Rand objectivism and Christianity I'd like for you to either provide the quote where I claim to be an objectivist, or to STFU.
DC Tom Posted March 21, 2013 Posted March 21, 2013 I'd like for you to either provide the quote where I claim to be an objectivist, or to STFU. I could...but you'd weasel out of it by pointing out that you didn't LITERALLY use the word "objectivist."
TakeYouToTasker Posted March 21, 2013 Posted March 21, 2013 I could...but you'd weasel out of it by pointing out that you didn't LITERALLY use the word "objectivist." No, you couldn't. Objectivism, classical liberalism, and libertarianism all have some overlap; but they're far from synonymous.
....lybob Posted March 21, 2013 Posted March 21, 2013 I'd like for you to either provide the quote where I claim to be an objectivist, or to STFU. I'm sorry did I say objectivism, I meant to say obnoxiousism
IDBillzFan Posted March 21, 2013 Author Posted March 21, 2013 Since Minimum wage is the law of the land, and you nor anyone will change that, the question was when should there be increases in the minimum wage? The answer is "never." Keep it where it is. Let's see what happens.
Magox Posted March 21, 2013 Posted March 21, 2013 The answer is "never." Keep it where it is. Let's see what happens. Ok, GG's response was every few years, I say when economic conditions dictate so, and you say never.
TakeYouToTasker Posted March 21, 2013 Posted March 21, 2013 I'm sorry did I say objectivism, I meant to say obnoxiousism Right... When you can't defend your words, you can always fall back on ad homs. Good work.
DC Tom Posted March 21, 2013 Posted March 21, 2013 No, you couldn't. Objectivism, classical liberalism, and libertarianism all have some overlap; but they're far from synonymous. My point...
TPS Posted March 22, 2013 Posted March 22, 2013 Catching up on what was posted over the last 2 hours before heading upstairs, and its always good to end the evening with a good chuckle. Thanks guys.
TakeYouToTasker Posted March 22, 2013 Posted March 22, 2013 My point... That's... not really much of a point.
birdog1960 Posted March 22, 2013 Posted March 22, 2013 this is a really nice example of the big tent that is a group like CPAC. you're acceted til you're not. there really aren't many issues where differences of opinion are welcomed much less tolerated. yet, somehow, republicans, comprised to large degree by this enlarging and disproportionally vocal group is planning on appealling to a more diverse demographic?

I think you might be very surprised to hear that most of us conservatives here think the Republican party sucks balls. Why do you think we become so vocal and passionate when it comes to a smaller government. The Republican party has not, at least by their actions, been for a more restricted government in a very long time.

The Republican party has not, at least by their actions, been for a more restricted government in a very long time. Ever notice liberals B word, criticize and mock CPAC every year, but you never hear them talking about an LPAC or PPAC (Liberal/Progressive Political Action Conference)? They complain how the group is never open to anything other than their own thoughts, right before they start bitching about their own candidates because the stimulus was too small and Obamacare was not single payer. So it's okay to never be open to anything other than your own thoughts as long you're not a conservative.
Magox Posted March 22, 2013 Posted March 22, 2013 I think a debate and differences amongst people who have similar economic views is a good thing. I think from my perspective, what's important is to not have a monolithic view of helping solving our issues, sometimes it's good to step outside the boundaries of the economic orthodoxy that we subscribe to, in my opinion it allows dynamism to flourish, and in the end, most of us want a similar outcome, which is a good thriving economy.

You want conservatives to abandon core principles of self-determination and economic sustainability to become the popular girl at the dance?

So it's okay to never be open to anything other than your own thoughts as long you're not a conservative. the groups you mentioned don't have anyone with the power and influence over the entire organization that people like norquist and ryan do. it's just a much less homogeneous group of beliefs in my opinion. people from billionaire industrialists to coal miners and everyone in between consider themselves liberals, often with very differnt ideas of what that word means. you can't seriously be proposing that conservatives embrace diverse thoughts and beliefs similarly to liberals? when's the last time you read liberals on this board name calling each other?
