Is 2016 THE Opportunity for Libertarians?

So the eggheads don't quite have the control necessary to run a global economy

[MatthewT]

wow, in your chart, Bush handled his recession like a boss

For entertainment, here's a quick case study on cognitive dissonance.

um, thank you for posting a graph to show how much inflation has effected the price of gold

(He understands what the gap represents...)

the "vanishing effects of inflation"?

(He refuses to believe what the gap represents...)

Just busting your chops a little, hope you don't mind.

After much trial and error, you finally found a good jab. Congrats!

The credit goes to Greenspan.

Oh and because I have a feeling you're going to claim (or at least imply) otherwise, the dot-com bubble was peanuts compared to 2008. Damn, maybe I should've waited before posting.

The paleo-conservative conception of being pro-market:

1) Talk in broad and vague terms about how great markets are (i.e. without understanding how they actually work: 1 2)

2) Believe you always know better than the markets (how the price of gold will move, how inflation will rise, etc.)

3) Talk in broad and vague terms about the evils of central planning

4) Want an obstetrician to implement and oversee a gold standard

I mean, really. What more is there to say?

you preach theory like a zealot, history will be the judge.

Yeah, the sheer arrogance of thinking that taking the collective lives of 300,000,000 of your fellow citizens and "managing" it for them is terrifying.

[MatthewT]

It's more terrifying knowing that you're just being set up to beg the Anti-christ to take the reins of the world.

It's more terrifying knowing that you're just being set up to beg the Anti-christ to take the reins of the world.

It is even more terrifying that a racist like yourself believes he will be spared such a set up

[MatthewT]

now i'm a racist?

[SiriusDawg]

I am not sure what else to call someone who uses niggar often in reference to Obama and other blacks.

Of course, you sound like the typical KKK member trying to convince others that he isn't really against all blacks.

do you remember what the term racist means? could you post your understanding of the word racist? i have a feeling that will explain a lot of your underlying error....

Can I answer like you do when I asked you to post a definition of something?

YOU DO IT!!!!!!!!

sure. a racist is a person who believes one race of people is inherently superior or inferior to other races.

as the only race i'm aware of is the human race, that really doesn't apply to me. as my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ is no respector of gender, race, wealth, freeborn or slave, it doesn't matter to him either. as a matter of fact, being bigoted against an ethnicity for no reason violates Thou Shalt Not Kill, and is punishable by death

you do know i had "Jesus Nigger" as my title here for a while, yes?

[SiriusDawg]

Racism is usually defined as views, practices and actions reflecting the belief that humanity is divided into distinct biological groups called races and that members of a certain race share certain attributes which make that group as a whole less desirable, more desirable, inferior or superior.

The exact definition of racism is controversial both because there is little scholarly agreement about the meaning of the concept "race", and because there is also little agreement about what does and doesn't constitute discrimination. Critics argue that the term is applied differentially, with a focus on such prejudices by whites, and defining mere observations of racial differences as racism. Some definitions would have it that any assumption that a person's behavior would be influenced by their racial categorization is racist, regardless of whether the action is intentionally harmful or pejorative. Other definitions only include consciously malignant forms of discrimination. Among the questions about how to define racism are the question of whether to include forms of discrimination that are unintentional, such as making assumptions about preferences or abilities of others based on racial stereotypes, whether to include symbolic or institutionalized forms of discrimination such as the circulation of ethnic stereotypes through the media, and whether to include the socio-political dynamics of social stratification that sometimes have a racial component. Some definitions of racism also include discriminatory behaviors and beliefs based on cultural, national, ethnic, caste, or religious stereotypes.

really? you didn't know what racism was, but you called me a racist? the nuclear weapon of the liberal vocabulary?

[SiriusDawg]

I am not sure where you got that I didn't know what racism meant when I just posted a link showing you that the definition of the word "racist" does not just mean what you think it means.

It has a variety of meanings....you fit into one of those....hence....being a racist.........and a douchebag

Can't forget the douchebag part.

[MatthewT]

which one do i fit into, by my explanation of what racism is?

i'll wait while you contort yourself
