Do you remember the crazy, hateful conspiracy theories of the Clinton years?? It was just as bad as against Obama today, believe it or not. |

My infinite-order-simulacrum/limitless-right-wing-conspiracy folded the law of the lawless into itself, so what is left is now also right, and what is right is now also right.

Lack of Iron and/or sleeping. -Nirvana Personally, I don't see GLP as anything other than being 'inherently distrustful of government'. If refusing to be content to live under tyranny is 'right wing' then I guess that most of us here are to be considered as such. But that'de be pigeon holing a very diverse group of individuals, now wouldn't it. |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 1008941 No, quite the opposite. The hardcore NWO, Illuminati, FEMA camp freaks are, 99% of the time, constitutiontards hugging their precious guns to their chests and screaming about the gay agenda and the muslim invasion. In America it almost always goes hand in hand with a deeply conservative Christianity. On the other hand you'll find the UFO tards, crop circle freaks, lightworker dumbasses and psychic frauds that congregate around the edges of the main "government conspiracy" block tend to be liberal pc assfairy "peace and love" fuckwits, but there's relatively few of them tbh. Anyway yeah, everyone on all sides, right, left, center... all asshats, all retards, all blind. 3 flavors of shit is still just a bunch of shit. |

I jump party lines on various issues and agree with none of them on others. Additionally, one must in my opinion, differentiate between ideals and practicalities. It might be ideal to have open borders, but that's impractical as hell. Ideologically I tend to be more liberal than I am in practice. There is a place for theories and utopian thoughts, but lacking the paradigm that would facilitate such a realization a person must make decisions on the paradigm we are in....the real world here and now. If you are in one paradigm and act as if you are in another then you are either an idiot or a mental case. Erectus |

You need some retraining, cause you're really bad at this. [link to www.freerepublic.com] Appeal to Authority. Appeals to authority cite prominent figures to support a position idea, argument, or course of action. Assertion. Assertions are positive statements presented as fact. They imply that what is stated is self-evident and needs no further proof. Assertions may or may not be true. Pinpointing the Enemy: This is a form of simplification in which a complex situation is reduced to the point where the "enemy" is unequivocally identified. For example, the president of country X is forced to declare a state of emergency in order to protect the peaceful people of his country from the brutal, unprovoked aggression by the leaders of country. Name Calling or Substitutions of Names or Moral Labels. This technique attempts to arouse prejudices in an audience by labeling the object of the propaganda campaign as something the target audience fears, hates, loathes, or finds undesirable. Types of name calling: -Direct name calling is used when the audience is sympathetic or neutral. It is a simple, straightforward attack on an opponent or opposing idea. -Indirect name calling is used when direct name calling would antagonize the audience. It is a label for the degree of attack between direct name calling and insinuation. Sarcasm and ridicule are employed with this technique. -Cartoons, illustrations, and photographs are used in name calling, often with deadly effect. Dangers inherent in name calling: In its extreme form, name calling may indicate that the propagandist has lost his sense of proportion or is unable to conduct a positive campaign. Before using this technique, the propagandist must weigh the benefits against the possible harmful results. It is best to avoid use of this device. The obstacles are formidable, based primarily on the human tendency to close ranks against a stranger. For example, a group may despise, dislike, or even hate one of its leaders, even openly criticize him, but may (and probably will) resent any non group member who criticizes and makes disparaging remarks against that leader. Vagueness. Generalities are deliberately vague so that the audience may supply its own interpretations. The intention is to move the audience by use of undefined phrases, without analyzing their validity or attempting to determine their reasonableness or application. Card stacking or selective omission. This is the process of choosing from a variety of facts only those which support the propagandist's purpose. In using this technique, facts are selected and presented which most effectively strengthen and authenticate the point of view of the propagandist. It includes the collection of all available material pertaining to a subject and the selection of that material which most effectively supports the propaganda line. Card stacking, case making, and censorship are all forms of selection. Success or failure depends on how successful the propagandist is in selecting facts or "cards" and presenting or "stacking" them. Increase prestige. In time of armed conflict, leading personalities, economic and social systems, and other institutions making up a nation are constantly subjected to propaganda attacks. Card stacking is used to counter these attacks by publicizing and reiterating the best qualities of the institutions, concepts, or persons being attacked. Like most propaganda techniques, card stacking is used to supplement other methods. The technique may also be used to describe a subject as virtuous or evil and to give simple answers to a complicated subject. An intelligent propagandist makes his case by imaginative selection of facts. The work of the card stacker in using selected facts is divided into two main phases: - First, the propagandist selects only favorable facts and presents them to the target in such a manner as to obtain a desired reaction. - Second, the propagandist uses these facts as a basis for conclusions, trying to lead the audience into accepting the conclusions by accepting the facts presented. |

Even much of the so-called right in Washington anyway are globalist which is liberal. They are only called right wing it seems because of support for war which itself is more globalism! Thus real right wing is more of a libertarian position. |

Erectus User ID: 13420334 United States 09/11/2012 11:16 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Right wing is not better than left. It is fascist and totalitarian. It is not ideologically true to itself. It supports some freedoms and seeks to suppress others, just like the left.....probably more so. Economic conservatism is great. Societal conservatism is regressive. Society and culture are ALWAYS evolving. Conservatism seeks to stop this natural evolution. I can dog the left too and I often do. It just disturbs me that people are so happily pronouncing themselves as corporate fascists and regressionists. Erectus |
