Liberal argument tactic exposed!
I would like to point out my conservative/libertarian colleagues and
associates a liberal argument tactic used mainly by the likes of Saltydog, Ganz and recently by Jeff. They will argue something at length using great contortions, leaps of faith and immaculate assumptions to no avail. They will experience a thwarting like no other at the hands of one skilled in correct, logical conservative/libertarian thinking. So when they realize their case is hopeless they will roll out this one question in exasperation: "So what is your point?" in an attempt to put the correctly thinking conservative/libertarian on his heels. The proper response to such a tactic is to point out that they have been arguing with great fury and foaming about something they admittedly fail to see or comprehend. Those conservatives/libertarians skilled in the art should phrase their reply to the great amusement of fellow conservatives/libertarians and with a keen eye to further enrage the already irrational liberal. There's nothing better than to hang someone with their own noose. |

To a liberal an argument is a method used to display their real world ignorance. Wilbur Hubbard |

To a liberal an argument is a method used to display their real world ignorance. Wilbur Hubbard Right you are Wilbur, a true conservative such as yourself easily recognizes such liberal foils and canards when deployed. Now, my fellow Americans, the tide has been running against freedom. Our people have followed false prophets. We must, and we shall, return to proven ways-- not because they are old, but because they are true. We must, and we shall, set the tide running again in the cause of freedom. And this party, with its every action, every word, every breath, and every heartbeat, has but a single resolve, and that is freedom - freedom made orderly for this nation by our constitutional government; freedom under a government limited by laws of nature and of nature's God; freedom - balanced so that liberty lacking order will not become the slavery of the prison cell; balanced so that liberty lacking order will not become the license of the mob and of the jungle. Those who seek absolute power, even though they seek it to do what they regard as good, are simply demanding the right to enforce their own version of heaven on earth. And let me remind you, they are the very ones who always create the most hellish tyrannies. Absolute power does corrupt, and those who seek it must be suspect and must be opposed. Their mistaken course stems from false notions of equality, ladies and gentlemen. Equality, rightly understood, as our founding fathers understood it, leads to liberty and to the emancipation of creative differences. Wrongly understood, as it has been so tragically in our time, it leads first to conformity and then to despotism. And I needn't remind you - but I will - that it's been during Democratic years that our strength to deter war has stood still, and even gone into a planned decline. It has been during Democratic years that we have weakly stumbled into conflict, timidly refusing to draw our own lines against aggression, deceitfully refusing to tell even our people of our full participation, and tragically, letting our finest men die on battlefields (unmarked by purpose, unmarked by pride or the prospect of victory). Today in our beloved country we have an administration which seems eager to deal with communism in every coin known - from gold to wheat, from consulates to confidence, and even human freedom itself. I seek an American proud of its past, proud of its ways, proud of its dreams, and determined actively to proclaim them. But our example to the world must, like charity, begin at home. In our vision of a good and decent future, free and peaceful, there must be room for deliberation of the energy and talent of the individual - otherwise our vision is blind at the outset. We must assure a society here which, while never abandoning the needy or forsaking the helpless, nurtures incentives and opportunity for the creative and the productive. We must know the whole good is the product of many single contributions. I cherish a day when our children once again will restore as heroes the sort of men and women who - unafraid and undaunted - pursue the truth, strive to cure disease, subdue and make fruitful our natural environment and produce the inventive engines of production, science, and technology. We see, in private property and in economy based upon and fostering private property, the one way to make government a durable ally of the whole man, rather than his determined enemy. We see in the sanctity of private property the only durable foundation for constitutional government in a free society. And beyond that, we see, in cherished diversity of ways, diversity of thoughts, of motives and accomplishments. We do not seek to lead anyone's life for him - we seek only to secure his rights and to guarantee him opportunity to strive, with government performing only those needed and constitutionally sanctioned tasks which cannot otherwise be performed. Our towns and our cities, then our counties, then our states, then our regional contacts - and only then, the national government. That, let me remind you, is the ladder of liberty, built by decentralized power. On it also we must have balance between the branches of government at every level. I would remind you that extremism in the defense of liberty is no vice. And let me remind you also that moderation in the pursuit of justice is no virtue. |

Where, oh where is Barry Goldwater when we really need him. He was the perfect blend of conservatism and libertarianism. Sadly, a man born well before his time. Wilbur Hubbard |

Dave, that was verbatim from Goldwater's 1964 acceptance speech. Real conservatives would recognize those words immediately. It is one of the greatest American political speeches of all time. |

And for you a trip to the history books: http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-srv...aterspeech.htm I was out on a climbing trip a few years back and managed to film a UFO hovering overhead. Most importantly, I was able to record a message broadcasted by the occupants of the other worldly craft. It is obvious that the creatures within were of the most highly developed intellect in the universe. See what I saw he http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3WNMxBncCbA |
