Herman Cain: It's Your Fault if You're Unemployed

[Seth]

[George Bush II is a Progressive

I nominate this for stupidest thing ever said in the entire history of humankind.

That's because you're ignorant of the truth. Bush holds Progressive President Woodrow Wilson as one of his favorite political icons and is a fan of big government and executive authority, which was one of the Democrat's complaints when he was in office, if you bother to recall.

[Coito ergo sum]

It was the fault of Progressives in both the Bush and Obama administrations.

What progressives in the Bush administration? Obama is at best a moderate

Compared to whom?

It was the fault of Progressives in both the Bush and Obama administrations.

What progressives in the Bush administration? Obama is at best a moderate and Bush was extremely regressive. If you think the Bush admin was even slightly progressive you must be an actual Fascist.

Evidently you're ignorant of what Progressivism actually is. I recommend Ronald Pestritto's "Woodrow Wilson and the Roots of Modern Liberalism" and his "Modern Progressivism" as a primer that will enlighten your opinions.

Compared to the Western world outside the right-wing extremist shithole known as the US.

[Tyrannical]

This looks like a fun hobby. What do you think Seth

[MattShizzle]

Actually, I'd rather DESTROY Wall Street than simply occupy it.

What do you think would be the end result of the destruction of Wall Street? How different would our society look if you destroyed Wall Street now?

Well, all the CEO types would be dead or in a labor camp and their money confiscated. And Capitalism would be gone.

The Western World? Or, like 5 or 6 little countries in western Europe?

You'll need to define "western world"

You think that would make your life better or worse?

What do you think would happen to you? You'd be left alone, free from labor camps?

[MattShizzle]

Western Europe, Canada, Australia. Basically everywhere that is neither the US or the 3rd world (not that the US isn't close to being 3rd world nowadays.)

....always difficult to view one era's values through the lens of our own...

This kind of thing was once considered a fun hobby, too...

I see you have fallen for the latest left wing talking point.

And, what is that?

[Ronja]

Dang, Mai beat me to it!

I would also like to hear what "the latest left wing talking point" (in the US, I presume) is.

I'm ashamed. As a lefty I should know what it is.
