Thread: Liberal Double Standards

my favorite rethuglikkklan hypocrisy...

"we follow the teaching of Jesus and the bible"

by the way... we all know you are a cut and paste hack... what blog did you get that gem off of?

Love this one too:

When rich so-called 'fat cats' give to the Republican Party it's a sign that the system is corrupted. But...when Lib billionaires give to the Democrats it's never mentioned, eh?

you can read the entire article here and don't have to wait for his drip: A Year of Liberal Double Standards | National Review Online

from the article,........

When Republicans are in power, “dissent is the highest form of patriotism.” When Democrats are in power, dissent is the racist fuming of “angry white men.”

Not much difference these days.

Liberals, for the most part, support the Democratic Party platform of fair taxation, equal rights, and job creation. Conservatives, for the most part, support the Democratic Party platform of fair taxation, equal rights, and job creation.

I missed the invasions of Libya and Egypt with US ground troops. Can you fill me in on that.

Booner's you are letting fear and anger control your life. Chill out.

In a nation where the vast majority have seen and are seeing their living standards drop, where graduates are flipping burgers on shit pay and no social security to speak of, where wealth inequality is at it's highest ever, where corporate profitability and the Dow are at their highest ever, I have only one question.

Whence this 'Liberalism'? I see absolutely none, just propaganda and a drugged population.

Right.

Just like there's no liberal bias in the MSM either...

UH...heard about Jon Grubers revelations have you?

Given that health care costs have been inflating at less than in recent memory (in the US), and more people than ever are getting coverage, I'm sure I can research these 'revelations' in Drudge.

But welcome to the First World.

This the perfect example of the usa christian right wing home school system gone wrong.

Come to think of it, might a US citizen explain something.
Why are legal (ie, pharmaceutical) drugs so expensive in the USA?
And why are illegal (ie, recreational) drugs so damn cheap?
You make many an Aussie jealous.

Cost of research. Once they become generic only then do they become cheaper.

What's an example of a recreational drug being 'cheap'?

This has been true for a long time already. Medicare was never liked by the docs because they have to process too much paper to get paid.

I believe the point here is it has gotten much worse, and as the govt. continues to lower there pay it will get even worse.

No black market competition for legal drugs. No high cost of research and getting FDA approval for illegal drugs.

you mean all that research that's is funded by US taxpayers as grants at public universities?
all those tax breaks for R&D covered by the public sector tax code?

bullshit... they rip us off because they can and nobody seems to care!

Your ball is rolling the wrong way; remember when it was traitorous to ask how America was going to pay for two wars, let alone propose raising taxes to do so? Yeah, that wasn't under a Democratic POTUS.

Of course you will provide an example of govt lowering the pay of doctors any minute now for us to read for ourselves, right?

Of course I will, govt. pay for Medicaid reduced as much as 43% as temporary raises to persuade more doctors to accept Medicaid set to expire Jan. 2015.
The Hill.

Dunno about lib'rul double standards, but Democrat double standards are as obvious as the lines on ones palm. They represent themselves as 'lib'rul', and 'for the working man'- but they are patently not, just a party owned by big business (like the other one). You only need look at the numbers.
