So now it becomes personal!

mmmm I love the smell of socialism in the morning.

Then go to Venezuela and take a big whiff.

 

[Dog Wonder]

Isn't American socialism good enough for you?

I don't need to...I can see it about 500 miles south of KC...right here in Amuricah.

I see. So instead of going to a country that was already ruined by socialism you are content to spread that cancer in this one.

Got it.

You might want to address that to Insp4 as he is the one who abhors socialism. Except when it helps him. And you DO realize that you are arguing with someone who basically AGREES with your view.

 

[Dog Wonder]

He argues with himself when no one talks to him.

You're post history does not suggest you basically agree with me. In fact on most issues we seem diametrically opposed.

 

[La Li Lu Le Lo]

I wish our conversations could be more like this.

I don't think the government should intervene with AA. Do you?

You know..I really don't want to watch that. Because back in June I sent you a PM to tell you that I was glad you were recovering from Covid and that life is much more than a message board. And for me it is. But you not only didn't acknowledge an attempt at being human...you come right back in as an adversary...even though I think the same thing you do on the issue of the government and airlines. So I have seen the true you. Your life must be pretty sad.

 

[NewHampshire Black Bears]

La'.

O U C H !!

I think they could make no or low interest loans available to them given their impact on our society and economy. Do I think they should get a handout? No.

Actually I thought I sent a response to your PM thanking you for your concern. If you did not receive it there must have been confusion on my part or a technical glitch. I regret the message was not received.

You really should watch it. It is a leftist and a righty having a conversation like two adults. We could learn from their example. Let's face it both of us have been snarky to each other several times in the past.

As far as COVID.... I am still having breathing issues. The doctor put me on Albuterol. At this point I am starting to wonder if full recovery is even in the cards.

 

[La Li Lu Le Lo]

You know you are right I went back and reviewed the conversation. I never responded. I could have sworn I did. Maybe I failed to send it properly or maybe I never typed it up at all. I was having severe issues with focus and memory during the early part of my recovery. I apologize I did not respond, I assure you I had intent to. At any rate I will take this opportunity now, late as it is, to say thank you for the message and kind words.

I don't think we are adversaries, I think we just have very different ideals on how our country should move forward and sometimes our passion for our viewpoint causes friction. I don't think just because your viewpoint is different you are a bad person, just misaligned. Of course, I am sure you an many others on here say the same thing about me.

For instance I don't think you are a bad person just because you support socialism, but from my point of view socialism only ever has one conclusion, eventual economic failure, so I can't really comprehend why you would support it.

Same thing with single payer healthcare. Every nation without exception (that I know of if you find different let me know) with single payer healthcare has suffered much higher taxes, ever increasing lack of access, and budget cuts. Why would you want that? Even Sweden's single healthcare is starting to implode. There is a reason wealthy people come to THIS country for healthcare.

Another is the border. I am of the belief that if you don't have a border you cease to have a country. Citizenship has value. The left states the right is against immigration (most like to say it is racial despite many illegal immigrants being Caucasian). That is simply not true. What the right is against is UNCONTROLLED immigration, especially given our generous welfare system (which believe me, illegals take advantage of). Illegal immigration has a lot of negative impact on our society so why the left would support illegals is incomprehensible. From my perspective maybe immigration does need reform but we damn sure should not tolerate the violation of our borders.

Another thing I find incomprehensible is the left states the government is fundamentally flawed (the new buzzword is "Institutional Racism") yet they want to give them more and more power (like over healthcare for instance). Why?
