What is the Right Wing's benefit to Society?
What is the Right Wing's benefit to America?... what is it's purpose even? Because I see them as something... maybe a regressive cancer on culture and civilization itself. Yes, and I see them as a threat to my rights. I am convinced they in fact, want to enslave all of us, whether it's from money or brute force.

It's disgusting and inherently evil. I sensed that from George today. It made my stomach turn in fact. My acknowledgment of there being such a mentally and emotionally handicapped weakling, insulting and abusing every veteran today while trying to smite his political enemies. A day to honor and thank the type of man and woman that is presently sacrificing EVERYTHING for his lies.

I want that mothafucka to pay along with every goddamn person in his administration... I'm tired but even more determined to help bring his ass down!

Thanks Dick Heads!

1. Patrons of the arts and philanthropic non-profits ?
Aside from those, Kevin Phillip's Wealth and Democracy exposes all economic empires as eventual victims of overconcentration of wealth which inevitably lead to said empires demise.

Spain, Netherlands, Great Britain, and now US.

"You can have great wealth or a democracy, but you cannot have both"--Louis Brandeis

2. You're not expecting many replies are you?
I can't think of a single thing beyond their potential as fertilizer.

3. The Rightwing serves no real purpose, than being a cancer on society
They are a huge cancerous tumor on society, with purpose the of eating their way through our rights. Other than that nothing else. And by the looks of it, we are on life support. I personally, have very little hope for the future, so I'm at the point where I just try to laugh myself to sleep at night, thinking about all the stupid things they done, and said over the years.

9. Lessons for Who?
I really don't see their advantage... what they gain is materialism. Even if that makes them happy on the surface, they remain unfeeling and mentally screwed up!

Did you learn nothing from WWII?

17. Stop Reframing
Nobody said it had to be... for me, I prefer that it be for a noble cause. And why ask me something like "Did you learn nothing from WWII?" Are ya telling me I haven't? Or asking me?

The question smacks of condescension.

19. Alright, instead of playing your childish game, just explain your post.
You're a big boy now. What could possibly be your point?

Because I know you would otherwise pretend that you don't know what I'm referring to, here's your post (spelling corrected):

"Definitely Not a Noble Cause Is It?

To be a lesson..."

Go ahead, explain it.

18. Everything's okay in moderation.
I'm mature enough to realize that the left-wing utopia I see in my head and desire fervently is implausible and would make a great deal of people unhappy if implemented. I'm willing to settle for more liberal refroms within an existing framework rather than the radical restructuring I wish could take place. Sometimes a modicum of conservatism is worthwhile.

Trouble is, these guys, the radical rightists, are not willing to settle for a handful of reforms in their direction. They want the middle class eliminated, the working class to suffer and grow simultaneously, and all social programs designed to maintain even the illusion of egalitarianism destroyed. Foreign policy would consist of guns pointed at every country with resources we want and itchy fingers gingerly stroking "the button" at all times. And they're the ones in power right now.

That's why there needs to be a clear delineation between true conservatism (which is often a useful counterbalance to left-wing social engineering), and neoconservatism, which is just fascism in better-tailored suits.

25. Wealth and Democracy by Kevin Phillips shows demise of econ empires
as always the result of too much concentration of wealth. Spain, Holland, Great Britain, and now the US. The same pattern the same end result.

Right wingnuts are the Republic's worst enemy right now...and right now they control all branches of government. Scary.

Edited on Sat Nov-12-05 01:52 PM by seabeyond
that bring balance. unfortunately where the republicans are is extreme, control, dominance, and eliminating the other side. the other side, democrats, allows balance which gives us progression, growth
