Pretty insightful and above all reasonably factual measuring sticks with which to show how right-wing radials consistently deny reality.

Not like, naming names on the board or anything, but Batman, Robdarken, Isildur, Durnominator, Daurwyn and vortex might find it an interesting read I think, without necessarily reading all 300 pages. Written from a politicially moderate perspective by a psychologist studying this phenomenon the past fourty years.

How Authoritarians think.

He tries a bit too hard with it, ends up sounding like the people he's villifying.

Honestly I had to read the pdf to take it seriously, because I agree with you on the introductory premise.

I can't believe you can say this with a strait face. (I'm imagining you have a strait face as you typed that.)

Pro January 30, 2013 03:16AM

I can't believe you even think this makes sense.

Staggering. (n/t)

Pro January 30, 2013 04:40AM

Left is collectivism, right is individualism.

vortexmagus January 30, 2013 03:23AM

This is one thing I do find amusing.

Batman January 30, 2013 03:32AM

We don't say no government. We say less.

Pro January 30, 2013 04:06AM

Thats stupid. We have seen how a confederate state of America worked and it failed horrificly. Anarchists want no government not republicans. (n/t)

Somebody doesn't understand the Constitution... (Tilts head Tesline's way while pointing with his thumb)

Pro January 30, 2013 04:14AM

Yes they are allowed to control certain things that the federal government doesn't. That doesn't point to them being able to have their own form of goverment or to break apart from the federal governments system of goverment, (n/t)

tesline January 30, 2013 04:20AM

Well the word FORM was ill chosen. They would still have to fall within the boundries of the Constitution. (n/t)

Pro January 30, 2013 04:34AM

Which is fine as long as money, military, drug laws, and election laws are handled by federal government. The rest I don't have a problem with states controlling. (n/t)

tesline January 30, 2013 04:57AM

States should handle their own Drug Laws. Election Laws by their own people. (n/t)

Pro January 30, 2013 05:11AM

I disagree, since the root of this issue stems from interstate commerce (n/t)

Quas January 30, 2013 05:28AM

Elections laws in case of anonymous donations should be uniform throughout. That is what I believe and I believe with drug laws we should have uniform punishment as in the past drug laws were too strict throughout. (n/t)

tesline January 30, 2013 05:16AM

Abortion laws? (n/t)

wrathpuppet January 30, 2013 05:13AM

Murder is illegal. It's already covered in the laws. (n/t)

Pro January 30, 2013 05:27AM

its illegal... unless of course you "perceive" a threat, then they only correct action is lethal force right? (n/t)

Quas January 30, 2013 05:29AM

I've always said self defense is everyones right. (n/t)

Pro January 30, 2013 06:11AM

Outlawing abortion only leads to an increase in suicide, infanticide and Matricide. (n/t)

sevriis January 30, 2013 12:06PM

Well that baby was coming right at that women. I mean it even got inside her. (n/t)

Definitly not moderate. Hard left. (n/t)

Pro January 29, 2013 05:41PM

This is exactly the delusional reality bending that gets you mocked. You call moderates extremists and expect to be taken seriously. (n/t)

sevriis January 29, 2013 07:45PM

Hey when your not soundly on the right your obviously extremely to the left. (n/t)

tesline January 30, 2013 02:09AM

You weren't exactly the target audience, just the subject matter. (n/t)

Scrimbul January 29, 2013 06:05PM

No shit? I couldn't tell by your high minded subject line. (n/t)
